Bigg Boss 19 Called "Toxic & Exhausting"; Salman Khan May Be Replaced by Younger Bollywood Actor

Is it just me, or does something feel really off with Bigg Boss 19 this year? It seems like everyone, from family members to former contestants, is calling out the show. And now, the criticism is hitting so hard that it might even cost Salman Khan his job.

Here’s the thing. Singer Armaan Mallik just went public with his frustrations. On October 7, 2025, he posted on X, calling the show “toxic and exhausting” for how it’s treating his brother, composer Amaal Mallik. He claimed the show’s editing was deliberately making Amaal look bad while hiding what other contestants were doing to provoke him. That specific tweet? Yeah, it’s been deleted now, but the damage is done.

But honestly, Amaal isn’t exactly helping his own case. He’s been getting slammed online for some seriously unhygienic behavior inside the house. We’re talking about him drinking directly from a hose and, wait for it, spitting into the communal kitchen sink. Viewers are not happy, with many calling it disgusting behavior from a major celebrity.

What The Insiders Are Saying

It’s not just the fans or family. People who know the show inside and out are also sounding the alarm. Falaq Naaz, a contestant from Bigg Boss OTT 2, didn’t hold back. She said this season is just “too toxic” for her to watch.

She pointed out that negativity, bullying, and nasty personal attacks are running wild this year. She believes these things were kept in check in previous seasons, but now it feels like a total free-for-all. When someone who has lived in that house says it’s gone too far, you know there’s a problem.

Is Salman Khan Part of the Problem?

Look, a lot of the criticism is landing right at the host’s feet. Salman Khan is facing a huge backlash for what viewers see as clear favoritism, especially towards contestants like Amaal Mallik. This has people seriously questioning the fairness of the entire show.

Reports are even suggesting that a lot of stuff is being left on the cutting room floor. Apparently, Salman did reprimand Amaal on several occasions for his behavior, but those parts were conveniently not broadcast to the public. This only makes the claims of selective and biased editing seem more real.

The heat is getting so intense that there’s talk of massive changes for the next season. The constant criticism of Salman’s “repetitive and biased” hosting has sparked serious speculation. Rumor has it the creators are in talks with a younger Bollywood actor to take over as host, and for a significantly lower salary. Could you imagine Bigg Boss without Salman? It might just happen.

So, what do you think? Has the show finally crossed a line? Is it time for a new host and a total reset, or is all this drama just part of the game?
