Bigg Boss 19: Rohan Mehra praises Ashnoor Kaur’s efforts during captaincy task, calls her a 'true captain'

The latest season of Bigg Boss 19 premiered on August 24, 2025, promising another exciting run of India's top reality show. Hosted by Salman Khan, the premiere was first available on JioCinema at 9 PM and then on Colors TV at 10:30 PM. This season introduces the theme, Iss Baar Chalegi Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar, which allows contestants to make key decisions, while still depending on the audience's votes.

Day 5 in the Bigg Boss 19 house was filled with drama, emotional moments, and strategic gameplay. Housemates navigated shifting alliances, heated conflicts, and the first captaincy tasks, creating an intense atmosphere.

Ashnoor's performance in the house garnered attention both inside and outside, leading Rohan Mehra, who played her on-screen brother in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, to publicly commend her. Mehra took to Instagram stories to express his admiration for her efforts, highlighting her impact on the show and acknowledging her dedication.

He took to Instagram stories and wrote, "I am so proud of her Ashnoor Kaur. She is playing the captaincy task brilliantly. She had the option to choose someone else on her behalf, but instead she chose herself and she's giving it her all. What makes it even more• special is that both groups inside the house are supporting her. Whether she wins the official captaincy or not, for me she's already a true captain. Her performance speaks volumes about her strength and determination."

About the captaincy task

In the captaincy tasks, Baseer Ali and Tanya Mittal took on the roles of operators. Episode 5 concluded with Ashnoor and Kunickaa as contenders, as Abhishek lacked support. Baseer Ali, as the investigator, eliminated Amaal Mallik and Mridul Tiwari during the captaincy task. Despite facing challenges, Gaurav, displayed strategic gameplay to advance to the final round.

In the final round, Baseer's allies, Nehal Chudasama and Zeishan Quadri, were voted out, leaving Abhishek Bajaj, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Ashnoor Kaur as the contenders for the first week's captaincy.
