Bigg Boss 19: Amaal Malik & Tanya Mittal Bag Roles in Ektaa Kapoor’s Next Show!
In a blockbuster Weekend Ka Vaar episode, television queen Ektaa Kapoor surprised the Bigg Boss 19 housemates by announcing that singer-composer Amaal Malik and fiery contestant Tanya Mittal have been cast in her upcoming Balaji Telefilms project!
The moment happened live on national television when Ektaa joined Salman Khan on stage to promote her new Balaji Astro App and dropped the biggest casting bombshell of the season. This continues Ektaa’s long-standing tradition of picking raw talent straight from the Bigg Boss house and turning them into TV stars.
What Happened in the Episode?
Ektaa walked in with Salman Khan
> Launched the first phase of Balaji Astro App
> Looked straight at the housemates and announced:
> “Two people I would LOVE to cast – Amaal, even though you’re not an actor, and Tanya… yeh duniya pittal di! Inka Rahu 10 mein hai, aur jinka Rahu 10 mein hota hai, duniya unki bas mein hoti hai!”
A visibly shocked and emotional Tanya Mittal replied, “Ma’am, this is a dream come true. Thank you so much!” while Amaal Malik couldn’t stop smiling.
Salman Khan, in his classic style, added instant humour: “Lekin role gareeb ladki ka hai… kaise ada karogi?” – sending the entire house into laughter.
