Mumbai: In the upcoming episode of Salman Khan-hosted reality show 'Bigg Boss 19', contestants Ashnoor Kaur and Farrhana Bhatt will be seen engaging in an ugly spat. In a promo shared by Colors TV, the Bigg Boss directs the contestants to assemble in the assembly room, where captain Farrhana is given the task of ranking them according to their activities in the house. "Ghar ki captain Farrhana ko show ke prati gharwalon ki layakta ko rank karna hai (The captain of the house, Farrhana has to rank the housemates' as per their activities in the show.)" Attacking Gaurav Khanna, Farrhana says, "GK apne words ko zubaan pe laayiye jo bhi aap sochte hao (GK needs to express himself in words and share his thoughts openly.)" Speaking about Mridul, she says, "Mridul inka is ghar main maksad hai kuch kiye bager hi aage badhna (Mridul's purpose is to move ahead without doing anything)." Expressing her opinion about Ashnoor, Farrhana calls her a 'hypocrite', which leaves the former disappointed. Giving it back to Farrhana, Ashnoor says, "Hypocrisy level aapka hai mera nahi (Hypocrisy level is yours, not mine.)" Farrhana retaliates, "Woh meri parvarish nahi hai aapki tahah (That's not my upbringing, it's yours)." Ashnoor then loses her cool and warns Farrhana not to comment on her upbringing. "Parvarish pe toh jao hi mat (Don't you dare comment on my upbringing)," she says. Farrhana then labels Ashnoor as "fake", to which the latter replies, "Mujhe pata hai main fake nahi hu and I stand by it (I know I'm not fake, and I stand by it)." The makers captioned the promo as, "Captain Farrhana kar rahi hai gharwaalon ko rank, kya ab isse ghar mein shuru hogi koi nayi conflict? Dekhiye #BiggBoss19 ka naya episode, har roz raat 9 baje #JioHotstar par aur 10:30 baje @colorstv par."
