Overview
- Mridul Tiwari was evicted during a surprise mid‑week task that used votes from an invited live audience rather than the usual nationwide vote.
- A live attendee posted that the crowd was told they were choosing a captain, not deciding an eviction, a claim reported widely but not verified by the production.
- Fans mounted an online backlash with hashtags like “No Mridul, No Bigg Boss” and “Boycott Bigg Boss,” with posts alleging unfair treatment circulating on X and Instagram.
- Mridul said in a post‑eviction interview that only about 50 people voted in the room and called the process unfair to viewers; one outlet reported he received four votes.
- The show proceeds with a reported top nine toward a December 7 finale, as promos show tensions continuing and contestants such as Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz criticizing the makers.
