The dramatic journey of Bigg Boss 19 is nearing its climax, but not without a final dose of controversy. In a shocking turn of events just ahead of the last week, popular contestant Ashnoor Kaur was suddenly evicted from the Salman Khan-hosted reality show. The decision, based on her allegedly breaking a house rule, sparked a wave of debate among viewers, with many calling it unfair. Now, for the first time since her exit, Ashnoor Kaur has broken her silence, sharing her side of the story in an exclusive conversation.
The Eviction and The Controversial Incident
Ashnoor Kaur's journey in the Bigg Boss house came to an abrupt end after an incident during a task where she threw a wooden plank. The action was perceived by the show's makers as a violation of rules, specifically concerning physical violence, as the plank was directed towards fellow housemate Tanya Mittal. This led to her immediate elimination, a move that left many fans of the show disappointed and vocal on social media.
Addressing the uproar, Kaur stated that while she sees people calling her eviction unjust, she is still processing the sudden turn of events. "It was sudden for me as well — the fact that my journey ended, unfortunately, just one week before the finale," she revealed. She entered the competition with the dream of lifting the trophy and was merely days away from the finish line when her time was cut short.
"I Did Not Hit Tanya Intentionally": Ashnoor's Defence
Strongly defending her actions during the now-infamous task, Ashnoor Kaur maintained her stance that there was no malicious intent. She explained that the wooden plank was extremely heavy and that her body had reached its limit. "The moment the task ended, I just wanted to put the weight down because my body couldn’t take it anymore," she said. Kaur argued that the footage was edited to make it look like an intentional act of aggression, which she firmly denies.
"I still stand by it," Kaur asserted. "I did not hit Tanya because I’m not that person. I respect the house rules, and if you don’t respect the platform, it reflects your own values." She pointed out that despite prolonged provocation from Tanya Mittal, including instances of body-shaming, she had consistently chosen to remain calm and never resorted to physical violence.

She spoke fondly of her bond with Bajaj, calling it a genuine and organic connection that resonated with the audience. As for the coveted trophy, with the Bigg Boss 19 winner set to be announced on 7 December, Kaur has thrown her support behind contestant Pranit More.
