Is Pranit More’s behavior crossing the line? The Bigg Boss 19 grand finale, held on December 7, 2025, was a star-studded affair filled with electrifying performances and lighthearted banter. But here's where it gets controversial: amidst the glitz and glamour, a moment of tension unfolded between contestants Pranit More and Abhishek Bajaj, leaving the internet divided. Fans are now questioning Pranit’s actions, with many expressing disappointment over what they perceive as his lack of empathy and sportsmanship.
The drama began when host Salman Khan playfully teased Abhishek about his eviction, which was influenced by Pranit’s decision not to save him. Abhishek, reflecting on his journey, remarked, ‘You had warned me, and that too many times. But what can we do now, bhai? If I had won, I would have become the headline, but the way I lost, now I have become a story.’ Salman then jokingly suggested that Pranit’s actions mirrored Abhishek’s earlier behavior toward fellow contestant Nagma, lightening the mood momentarily. However, Pranit’s subsequent mocking of Abhishek—laughing and dismissing his feelings with comments like ‘Tune kundi lagayi, maine khol di (You locked the door, I opened it)’—struck a sour note with viewers.
And this is the part most people miss: The incident wasn’t just about a playful jab; it highlighted deeper issues of empathy and fair play. Reddit users were quick to call out Pranit’s behavior, with one commenting, ‘At least show a little empathy. He seemed proud of backstabbing Bajaj.’ Another added, ‘Not an ounce of remorse even now. Abhishek was clearly hurt, and Pranit was making fun of him. Highly disappointed.’ These reactions underscore a broader debate: Where do we draw the line between competitive strategy and personal integrity?
To understand the context, let’s rewind to the events leading to Abhishek’s eviction. During a task in the second week, contestants were required to sit and count for 15 minutes in a room, with the pair closest to the target time being declared safe. Abhishek, in an attempt to protect Nagma, locked the door to prevent interruptions. Unfortunately, this backfired, leading to Nagma’s nomination and eventual eviction. Fast forward to just four weeks before the finale, when Abhishek and Ashnoor Kaur were nominated alongside Neelam Giri. Pranit, given the power to save one contestant, chose Ashnoor over Abhishek, despite repeatedly stating that Abhishek was his priority. This decision sparked accusations of strategic gameplay, with fans claiming Pranit was reducing his competition.
Here’s the controversial question: Was Pranit’s behavior a calculated move to secure his position, or simply a lack of emotional intelligence? While some argue that such tactics are part of the game, others believe it undermines the spirit of fair competition. The finale concluded with Gaurav Khanna emerging as the winner, but the debate over Pranit’s actions continues to dominate discussions. What do you think? Was Pranit justified in his behavior, or did he cross the line? Share your thoughts in the comments—let’s spark a conversation!
