In a dramatic turn at the Bigg Boss 19 finale weekend, Amaal Mallik has been evicted, securing the fifth position this season. The news fcomes as a shock to many fans, considering he was widely viewed as a strong contender in the early weeks. But as the season progressed, shifts in confidence, strategy, and house dynamics seem to have worked against him — ultimately culminating in his exit just before the top four were sealed. Let’s look at the 5 reasons that may has costed him the trophy:
1. Loss of Confidence After His Father’s Visit
One of the biggest turning points for Amaal seems to have been the appearance of his father on the show. Although the visit might have been intended as emotional support, many fans and insiders believe it backfired for him. According to accounts, Amaal became overly self-conscious and lost the confidence he’d earlier shown. This shift reportedly weakened his on-camera presence and diluted the assertiveness that had originally made him a frontrunner.
During finale, he jokingly admitted — “calling my father into the house made me lose the track” — which seemed to acknowledge how much the visit affected his mindset. Once the inner conviction was shaken, many viewers sensed a loss of direction in his gameplay.
2. Sticking with His Inner Circle — Failing to Build Wider Alliances
Reality shows like Bigg Boss reward social agility. Observers suggest that Amaal made the error of sticking too much with his core group rather than building broader alliances. In a house where loyalties shift quickly, this limited social manoeuvring may have made him vulnerable.
Contestants who survive until the end often have balanced relationships across multiple groups — some allies, some neutral, some even mild opponents. By not branching out, Amaal may have isolated himself socially, reducing his support base just when the competition narrowed.
3. Losing the Initial Charm & Momentum
Initially, Amaal was viewed by many as a strong contender — his energy, confidence and strategy earned him early praise. But some fans and former contestants commented that over time, he “lost his charm.” What started as a compelling arc apparently became less dynamic as rival players gained momentum.
Energy and novelty can carry a contestant far, but once those fade, the constant competition and the pressure of survival demand adaptability. According to supporters, Amaal’s gameplay seemed to stagnate instead of evolving, which may have cost him crucial viewer votes.
4. Dependence on Others’ Perceptions — Forgetting to Assert Own Stand
During the finale host’s address, Salman Khan reportedly told Amaal that although he had started strong, by the end “he heard everyone’s perception” and “lost his own decision-making skills and opinions.” This criticism reflects a recurring theme: Amaal’s increasing indecisiveness within the house, letting other people’s opinions sway him repeatedly.
In shows like Bigg Boss, audiences value authenticity and leadership. If a contestant is perceived as indecisive or easily influenced, support tends to wane. Amaal seemed to fall into this trap — letting house dynamics and peer pressure govern his choices rather than trusting his own instincts.
5. Public Acknowledgement of His Own Mistakes — Underlining His Vulnerability
One of the more surprising aspects was Amaal’s candid admission that calling his father and later losing his track had contributed to his downturn. While honesty and humility are generally admired, in a game environment they can highlight vulnerability — a trait competing contestants could exploit. A publicly voiced regret or self-doubt can sway neutral voters, making them question whether the contestant still “deserves” the win
