Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan Emotional as Kunickaa’s Son Reveals Her Struggles and Confronts Criticism

In a touching moment on the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19, host Salman Khan urged contestant Kunickaa Sadanand to focus on herself after years of living for others. He told her, “You lived for your father, then for your husband, and for your sons — now it’s time to live for yourself, you are 62 yaar. You have to be strong for me, mom.” The heartfelt exchange came amid tension inside the house when fellow contestant Farrhana targeted Kunickaa with harsh words, including calling her a “flop actress” and bringing her children into the argument.

Salman intervened by calling Kunickaa’s son, Ayaan Lall, to speak directly with Farrhana, providing an opportunity to confront the accusations. Ayaan shared the difficult journey his mother faced while fighting a long custody battle for his elder brother, describing how Kunickaa entered the film industry not for fame, but to fund the legal fight. “She used to take Mumbai Delhi flights every week,” he said, highlighting her sacrifices as she struggled to reunite her family.

Ayaan opened up about Kunickaa’s early life and dreams, revealing she married young at 17 to escape a difficult childhood where she lacked parental love and stability. Tragically, her elder son was kidnapped from a hill station, which forced her to fight a lengthy custody case. Despite these hardships, Ayaan said his mother never gave up and continued to show love and strength, even marrying again and starting his family in the US.

The emotional recounting struck a chord with the housemates and viewers alike, prompting Salman to remind everyone not to dismiss someone’s life and struggles lightly. He stressed that calling Kunickaa names or questioning her character was unfair, especially given everything she has overcome.

Ayaan urged his mother’s detractors to understand her journey, explaining how she has never had the peaceful family life she once dreamed of. “She hasn’t got it, don’t take the chance away from her,” he said passionately, appealing to the contestants to respect her.

The episode concluded on a poignant note as Salman Khan became visibly emotional, praising Kunickaa’s resilience and reminding viewers of the importance of empathy and respect, especially in a competitive reality show environment.
