Weekend Ka Vaar is set for a dramatic shake-up, and this time the spotlight isn’t on a fight, eviction, or wildcard — but on Ektaa Kapoor herself. The television queen is stepping into the Bigg Boss 19 house not just as a special guest, but with a surprise that instantly changed the vibe inside the house: a casting announcement.
Ektaa Arrives With a Big Reveal — and a Bigger Opportunity
A new promo shows Ektaa joining Salman Khan on stage, where she announces the launch of her Balaji Astro App, revealing that the project has completed its first phase. But the bigger bombshell comes moments later, when she confirms that she has chosen contestants for her next daily soap.
While viewers expected her to lean toward established actors like Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, or Kunickaa Sadanand, Ektaa breaks the pattern completely.
Tanya Mittal Gets the Surprise Casting Call
Ektaa shares that she has a long-time tradition of selecting at least one Bigg Boss contestant each year for her shows. This time, she names two contestants she wants to cast — Amaal and Tanya Mittal.
Her comment instantly becomes the moment of the night:
“Two people I would love to cast. One of them is Amaal… and the other person is Tanya. Unka Rahu 10 mein hai, aur jinke Rahu 10 mein hota hai, woh duniya ko rule karte hain.”
Tanya, taken aback and emotional, calls it a “dream come true,” while the rest of the house cheers for her.
Salman Khan’s Hilarious Response Steals the Stage
Just as Tanya finishes thanking Ektaa, Salman Khan jumps in with his signature sense of humour, teasing:
“Lekin gareeb ladki ka role hai… kaise adaa karogi?”
The entire house bursts into laughter, turning the heavy moment into a light, memorable exchange.
Ektaa’s Casting History With Bigg Boss Alumni
This isn’t new territory for Ektaa Kapoor. Over the years, she has cast several Bigg Boss contestants in her shows — including Tejasswi Prakash, Simba Nagpal, and Pratik Sehajpal in Naagin 6.
Her next big project, the new season of Naagin, will be headlined by Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, one of the most popular faces from Bigg Boss 16. A release date is expected soon.
Eviction Buzz: Who Leaves Just Before the Finale?
Alongside Ektaa’s casting announcement, eviction suspense is building. After the emotional family week, almost the entire house — including Tanya, Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, Malti Chahar, Pranit More, Farrhana Bhatt, Amaal, and Kunickaa Sadanand — is nominated.
Early reports suggest Kunickaa may be the next to exit, but confirmation will arrive in tonight’s episode on JioHotstar and Colours TV.
Final Words
Between Ektaa Kapoor’s casting twist, Salman Khan’s jokes, and an unpredictable eviction lineup, this Weekend Ka Vaar promises theatrics, emotions, and a major career-changing moment for Tanya Mittal. With another season of Ektaa’s shows in the pipeline, Bigg Boss 19 continues to be a launchpad for fresh faces stepping into Indian television.
