The last two contestants to visit the App Room were captaincy contenders Gaurav Khanna and Shehbaz Badesha. Khanna was called into the room and was given difficult choices to win the captaincy, and he chose captaincy. This didn’t go down well with Shehbaz Badesha, who stated that it was unfair for him to not even be called inside the App Room.

Badesha mentioned that the makers were supporting Khanna and should right away give him the winner’s trophy. The episode got a lot of reactions from fans on social media. Kishwer Merchant, who was a part of a previous season of the show, took to social media and expressed her thoughts on the incident.

She sided with Badesha and stated that he should have given equal chance to fight for captaincy. Kishwer tweeted: Do davedaar hain .. dono Ko equal Mauka milna chahiye to fight for captaincy !
If housemates had to decide shehbaaz would have been the captain !
Isliye aisa game khela gaya !

She also wrote, "Paise dekar hi aaya hai lagta hai #BigBoss19 .. unfair!!
Bana do winner, khatam karo !"
