The Bigg Boss house, a notorious crucible of high-stakes emotion and volatile tempers, witnessed one of its most explosive confrontations yet this season. In a shocking display of rage, renowned music composer Amaal Mallik lost his composure and violently smashed co-contestant Farrhana Bhatt’s plate, throwing her food to the ground. The ugly incident was the culmination of a deeply emotional and morally charged captaincy task that left the house bitterly divided and one contestant in uncontrollable tears.
The catalyst for the meltdown was the ‘Chithi Aayi Hai’ task, a classic Bigg Boss challenge designed to test the housemates’ emotional resilience and strategic cunning. In this task, contestants were given the power to either deliver a precious letter from home to its rightful owner, thereby eliminating themselves from the captaincy race, or shred the letter and remain in the running for power. The house was plunged into turmoil when social media influencer Farrhana Bhatt received a letter intended for fellow contestant Neelam Giri.
Despite Neelam’s desperate and tearful pleas to receive the message from her family, Farrhana made a ruthless game move. Prioritizing her ambition to become captain, she chose to shred the letter in front of a devastated Neelam, who immediately broke down in uncontrollable sobs. Farrhana’s decision, while strategically sound in the cutthroat world of Bigg Boss, was seen by many housemates as a profound act of cruelty, sending shockwaves of anger and disbelief through the house.
The immediate aftermath saw Farrhana being cornered and confronted by several furious contestants. Tanya Mittal angrily questioned her, asking what she had truly gained from her heartless action, while veteran actress Kunickaa Sadanand also condemned the unnecessary animosity. Farrhana, however, remained defiant, defending her choice by stating that everyone in the game had the right to make their own decisions to move forward.
The tension simmered until later that evening when the situation escalated dramatically. As Farrhana sat alone, attempting to have her dinner, Amaal Mallik approached her, his anger palpable. “Have some shame,” he told her sternly. Farrhana’s defiant retort—that she would only feel shame when she wanted to—proved to be the final straw for the incensed composer.
In a fit of uncontrollable rage, Amaal snatched Farrhana’s plate, threw her food and water across the floor, and smashed the plate to pieces. The violent outburst left the other housemates stunned and Farrhana visibly shaken. The incident has now become the biggest talking point of the season, sharply dividing both the contestants and the audience.
The repercussions of this showdown are yet to be fully seen. The incident could either galvanize support for Farrhana, painting her as a victim and potentially propelling her to the captaincy she so desperately craved, or it could lead to her complete isolation within the house, with even her close allies like Baseer Ali distancing themselves from her. Furthermore, Amaal Mallik’s aggressive behavior is sure to come under the scanner of Bigg Boss and host Salman Khan, with many viewers calling for strict action against him for his violent conduct. One thing is certain: the ‘Chithi Aayi Hai’ task has irrevocably fractured the house, and the fallout from this ugly food fight will be felt for weeks to come.
