Prior to him, Ashnoor Kaur, a social media personality and TV actor, was eliminated when she physically attacked another contestant, Tanya Mittal. Notably, Bigg Boss 19's grand finale is scheduled to air on December 7, 2025.

All six have fought through tough duties, disputes and unforeseen turns to reach this stage. However, talks regarding a probable mid-week eviction have been circulating, hinting that the top six may soon become the top five before finale night.
