Written by Tanisha Cardozo || Team Allycaral Entertainment Desk

Reality show Bigg Boss 19 continues to dominate headlines with its twists and emotional turns. The latest episode left fans stunned after host Salman Khan announced that contestant Pranit More was asked to leave the show owing to medical concerns.

The announcement came during Weekend Ka Vaar, where Salman revealed that Pranit’s medical condition required attention outside the Bigg Boss house. “I’ve received Pranit’s medical reports, and the medical attention he needs can’t be done inside the house. Therefore, he has been asked to leave the show,” Salman said. He also clarified that Pranit’s departure was not due to lack of votes, but purely for health reasons.

The statement took housemates by surprise. Contestants Abhishek Bajaj and Ashnoor Kaur immediately asked if Pranit would be able to return once he recovered, but Salman did not confirm, saying it depended on his medical progress.

The host further revealed that, since Pranit was leaving for medical reasons, no eliminations would take place that week. “Because of Abhishek, Ashnoor, and Mridul, nine people got evicted, but since Pranit is leaving, no one will get evicted today,” he announced.

Reactions poured in across social media, with several television celebrities, including Malti Chahar and Gaurav Khanna, expressing shock and concern. Fans flooded Twitter and Instagram with messages under hashtags #GetWellSoonPranit and #ComeBackStrongerPranit, praising him for his sincerity, humor, and positivity inside the house.

Many called Pranit one of the most genuine and entertaining contestants of Bigg Boss 19, saying the show would feel incomplete without his energy. Several fans also expressed hope that he might be allowed to return once fully recovered.

As the season continues, Bigg Boss 19 remains one of television’s most discussed reality shows, known for its unpredictable twists and emotional depth. The show airs on JioCinema at 9:30 PM and on Colors TV at 10:30 PM.

Bigg Boss 19 Faces ₹2 Crore Lawsuit Over Unauthorized Use of ‘Chikni Chameli’ Song


The popular reality TV show Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, has found itself embroiled in legal controversy. The show’s producers, Endemol Shine India, are facing a ₹2 crore lawsuit for allegedly using copyrighted music without obtaining the necessary licenses. The complaint was filed by Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL), which oversees public performance rights for over 450 music labels, including Sony Music India.

According to the notice, the issue stems from Episode 11 of Bigg Boss 19, which streamed on September 3. In that episode, two popular Bollywood tracks — Chikni Chameli from Agneepath and Dhat Tere Ki from Gori Tere Pyaar Mein — were reportedly used without authorisation. Both songs are licensed to Sony Music Entertainment India, making PPL the legal entity responsible for issuing performance licenses.

The notice, served on September 19 by advocate Hiten Ajay Wasan, identifies the show’s production directors—Thomas Gousset, Nicolas Chazarain, and Deepak Dhar—as responsible parties in the alleged infringement. PPL claims that Endemol Shine India failed to obtain the mandatory public performance licence under Section 30 of the Copyright Act, 1957, thereby constituting what they call a “wilful infringement.”

In addition to demanding ₹2 crore in damages, PPL has also issued a cease-and-desist notice, warning the producers not to use any sound recordings in future episodes without proper licensing.

As of now, neither Endemol Shine India nor streaming partner JioCinema has responded to the allegations.

This season of Bigg Boss follows the theme “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar,” where contestants have greater decision-making power than Bigg Boss himself. On the entertainment front, Episode 12 marked the show’s first double eviction, with Nagma Mirajkar and Natalia Janoszek exiting the house. Remaining contestants include Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, Nehal Chudasama, Baseer Ali, Zeishaan Quadri, Neelam Giri, Tanya Mittal, Awez Darbar, Kunickaa Sadanand, Farhana Bhatt, and Shehbaz Badesha.

Bigg Boss 19 streams daily at 9 PM on JioCinema and airs at 10:30 PM on Colors TV. But now, the show may be facing more scrutiny off-screen than on it.
