In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19, host Salman Khan was seen siding with music composer Amaal Mallik. Not only did he refrain from questioning Amaal about his language and behaviour on the show, but he also defended him over his recent altercation with fellow contestant Abhishek Bajaj. Salman further addressed the remarks he had made about Amaal in the previous week’s episode, reprimanding the housemates for twisting his words against the composer. He specifically called out Kunickaa Sadanand for her comments about Amaal’s family. Moved by Salman’s support, an emotional Amaal broke down in tears.

Last week, Salman had reprimanded Amaal and given him a stern warning for his behavior on the show. He had said, “I have been accused, because I have known you since you were a child, that I won’t come and say anything to you. But I know your problem, and that’s the reason why I cannot go to that length. How many years have I known you? And for how many years did I not speak with you? And what about when we started working together? It’s been 15 years, and how many years have I not spoken with you in that time? When I was talking for you, in your favor, you guys didn’t understand, and when one leaped forward and the other was left behind, that is exactly what I was telling you brothers. Amaal, get your mind strong. This is your time now; you can take this to the next level.” Following Salman’s serious feedback, a lot of discussions happened between the contestants.

On the show, Kunickaa Sadanand was seen bringing up the issue of Amaal Mallik’s public split with his family. She even mentioned that because Amaal started this controversy, he was brought on the show. In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan told Kunickaa, “Kunickaa, you have said a lot about Amaal and his family. How is that cool? Why are you going to anyone’s family? What has his father, Daboo Mallik, done to you or any of his family members?” Kunickaa replied, “He was the one who made a public statement; it was in the news.”

Amaal Mallik got emotional and said, “There are a lot of things you do when you are emotionally volatile, I understand, but you’ll have told me a lot of things and never apologize for it. You’ll laugh at me because I keep saying sorry, but I have no shame in doing that.” Salman added, “You know who the strongest kind of people are? Those who have gone through some kind of loss, pain, or depression, and when one comes out of it, that person is the strongest. I have lots of friends, an older brother of mine, Sanjay Dutt, who used to be in all that stuff on a next level, but see him today.”

Salman further went on to slam Kunickaa and said, “Whatever I told him last week was for me and him. It was for you guys to show some kind of support and empathy for Amaal. But you’ll try to pull him down. Kunickaa, you are such a mature person. Get some maturity back into you; you are going wrong. Whatever you said about his family was way before any incident. Amaal, whatever I told you last week was to pick yourself up, for them to support you, but they got me wrong. The way you handled the situation, I am proud of you.”
