Bigg Boss 19 has finally crowned its first finalist of the season, and the honour has gone to Gaurav Khanna, who has also earned the title of the last captain of the house. The much-awaited Ticket To Finale task reached its conclusion after a tense and physically demanding challenge that kept viewers glued to every update coming from inside the house.
A test of balance, endurance and pressure
The task required contenders to balance a bucket of water on their shoulder and prevent any major loss of water. The simple format quickly turned into a high-pressure endurance test as each participant fought to remain steady while holding the heavy load. But here is the twist: Others were given the freedom to make it difficult for them and create husrdles.
According to the final outcome, Farhana Bhatt was the first to lose balance and exit the challenge. She was followed by Amaal Malik and Ashnoor Kaur.
In the end, Gaurav, often referred to as GK, managed to hold his position with determination and became the winner of the Ticket To Finale task. His win automatically guaranteed him a direct entry into the finale week, securing him a prestigious place among the finalists of Bigg Boss 19.
Bigg Boss names Gaurav as final captain
Along with the finale ticket, Bigg Boss also announced that Gaurav would serve as the last captain of the season. This gives him an additional advantage inside the house at a crucial stage, as the final rounds typically come with heightened conflicts, strategy shifts and emotional breakdowns.
Fans of the show have taken to social-media platforms to celebrate Gaurav’s achievement, calling it one of the most deserving wins of the season. Many believe that the way he maintained composure and balance during the task reflects his strength as a competitor.
With Gaurav stepping into the finale as the first confirmed finalist, the pressure on the remaining contestants has doubled. The race for the remaining spots is expected to become even more intense as Bigg Boss 19 enters its final stretch.
The Chosen Sanchalak
The Ticket To Finale task started on a dramatic turn, with housemates voting to decide who will take charge as Sanchalak, the most crucial position in any task that leads to the finale. A social-media update from fan pages shows a colourful vote breakdown revealing that Shehbaaz was selected as the Sanchalak, giving him significant authority over the outcome of the competition.
Housemates vote to pick between four contenders
According to the circulating post, Bigg Boss provided cue cards to all contestants and asked them to select one among Shehbaaz, Tanya, Amaal and Malti to take up the role of Sanchalak for the ongoing Ticket To Finale challenge. This selection is important because the Sanchalak is responsible for supervising the task, validating performances and ensuring rules are followed.
The voting breakdown shows a clear tilt in favour of Shehbaaz. The list mentions that Ashnoor chose Amaal, GK picked Shehbaaz, Amaal selected Shehbaaz, Pranit also voted for Shehbaaz, Farhana went with Amaal, Tanya opted for Amaal, and Malti gave her vote to Shehbaaz. With this mix of votes, Shehbaaz emerged ahead of the others and secured the Sanchalak position.
