With the finale of Bigg Boss 19 drawing near, tensions inside the house have escalated and a new clip of its contestant Amaal Mallik has triggered outrage all over. In an apparent late-night conversation with his co-contestant Shehbaz Badesha, Mallik was recorded telling Tanya Mittal, “Banawati insaan hai… isko kaatenge hum… kutta bana denge. Hum bahut danger log hai bhai. Idhar nahi toh bahar pakad lenge.” The clip has gone viral on social media platforms.
