Kunickaa and Baseer Ali-
During first week of BigBoss Baseer Ali helped Kunickaa to became captain of the house but as soon as she became captain she started backstabbing Baseer. The fight began over something as small as food but quickly turned ugly. It all started when Baseer casually asked his housemate Nehal if he wanted an omelette, and if so, who he could ask to make it. Kunickaa immediately told him that he could very well make it himself. This comment made by Kunickaa however did not sit well with Baseer.
Later that night, Baseer called Kunickaa out, saying she was unnecessarily rude to him. In the promo, he is seen telling her, “Kunickaa ji, I’ve never asked you to cook for me, not even for a glass of water. I will never ask for anything.” To this, Kunickaa firmly replied, “We aren’t here to do any of your favours.”
The back-and-forth only grew intense. Baseer insisted he was capable of managing on his own, while Kunickaa pointed out that her only responsibility in the house was to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Baseer then snapped back by saying that nobody asked her to prepare food for the house, to which Kunickaa questioned him why he was getting offended in the first place.The argument only escalated further with Baseer accusing her of being rude and challenged her not to misbehave with him. At one point, Kunickaa told him to “shut up,” which only made Baseer raise his voice louder.
As expected, fans were quick to react online. Some supported Baseer for standing up for himself while others criticised him for being unnecessarily aggressive and disrespectful toward the veteran actress.
Kunickaa- Mridul Tiwari
Veteran actress Kunickaa Sadanand takes YouTuber Mridul Tiwari’s name, questioning his presence in the game. While giving her reason, she calls him “bin pendi ka loota, jo idhar udhar ludakta jata hai.”
Mridul, however, does not take her remarks lightly. He immediately calls her out by saying, “matlab apke saath joh rehega apke pichhe pichhe laga rahega who apke liye achha hai. Chamcha giri toh na mein kissi aur ki karta hu na apki kar paunga.” Following his reply the housemates applaud him from and support his word.However, the argument doesn’t end there. After the nomination round, Mridul can be seen taunting Kunickaa again, stating that she voted against him simply because he is not in her favour. The promo further shows him mocking her attitude, calling her “dominating,” while playfully performing in a way that makes the rest of the contestants laugh.
Kunickaa- Zeeshan Quadri
Kunickaa removed puris from the plates of Zeeshan and Gaurav while the rest of the housemates didn’t mind. Zeeshan, however, was visibly upset and immediately refused to eat his food, saying that his ethics do not allow anyone to remove food once served. “Removing food from someone’s plate is unfair,” he declared.
Tanya is seen rolling and frying puris with Neelam. Meanwhile, Abhishek Bajaj and Gaurav Khanna join in and quickly serve themselves plates of the meal. Just as the cooking and serving are going on, Kunickaa walks in and interrupts. She says, “ek min ruk jaao yaar guys please. Wapis rakho khana plate mein.”Zeishan who is present there says, “Hum kisike plate mein se bhi khana nahi nikalte.” Kunickaa responds, “plate mein se kha lete toh mein rok nahi sakti.” To this, Zeishan angrily fires back, “Le bhi lete toh aap haath pakad lete kya.” Kunickaa insists, “tabhi toh roka meine.”However, Zeishan does not hold back and takes the fight further. He tells her, “Aap principle hai kya ya trustee hai ya school ka bacha hai. Mein samjhata hu abhi, yahi issi show mein. Ungli karne ki aadat haina. Ab sikhata hu ungli kisko bolte hai.” His words made the fight even more heated, leaving the rest of the house stunned.
Baseer too confronted Kunickaa, telling her it was wrong and she cannot take food off someone’s plate. Tanya and Neelam agreed, supporting Zeeshan’s stand. Farrhana added that Zeeshan should have confronted Kunickaa in the moment instead of tolerating it silently.

Even Gaurav Khanna stepped in, telling Kunickaa, “You may be an enemy, but don't stoop this low.”
