Neelam Giri and Amaal Mallik
A light-hearted, playful conversation between Neelam and Shehbaz in the Bigg Boss 19 house quickly turned into a sharp exchange about love, money, and marriage. During the chat, Neelam jokingly said, “I want a guy like Amaal, he has money, and I can marry someone like him. He even comes from an industry background.” Before the conversation could move on, Kunickaa chimed in, agreeing partially with Neelam. “Today’s girls should actually see the money and get married. I couldn’t do it, but girls of today should,” she remarked with a laugh.
Taking a playful dig, Shehbaz called Neelam a “gold digger.” Unfazed, Neelam shot back, saying, “You also go around asking people for money if they win — so what’s the difference?”
