Is Salman favouring Amaal?

Speaking to us, Zeishan Quadri shared his thoughts and said, “Bigg Boss is an emotional battlefield. No one knows when the game might take a turn. If any contestant feels something unfair is happening, it's part of the experience. But that doesn’t always mean there's bias.”

He further added, "Didn’t you all see Amaal being grilled? When Salman sir came and scolded him, so much was said—but maybe a lot of it wasn’t even aired. He (Amaal) was in tears, he broke down. Why didn’t anyone speak then and say, ‘Even Abhishek (Bajaj) was at fault’? Outside, a narrative has taken shape that this is some kind of ‘bully gang’.”

Zeishan Quadri also questioned the fans and their opinions, saying, "I was the leader of that so-called gang. I want to ask the audience—who did I bully, even within that group? Even the other group had respect for me. From Abhishek to Ashnoor, just two days after nominating me, they felt bad about it.”

Reflecting on his time in the house, Zeishan said, “Even Salman bhai said that I’m the only contestant who raised my voice for the right reasons.” He added that he regrets not seeing the true faces of his fellow contestants sooner—had he known, things would have played out differently.

Wrapping up, he said, “From day one till the end, I’ve always said—everyone comes from good families, a group has formed, there’s fun going on. They tease me, and I tease them back. But that’s all part of the show. My only regret is that, unlike Awez Darbar who got a reality check from Gauahar Khan, or others who were shown the true nature of fellow contestants, I didn’t get that moment. If I had known their reality, I would’ve put them in their place. Send me back in and then they’ll know what real bullying looks like.”
