Bobby Darling’s eviction from Bigg Boss Season 1 was an emotional moment, leaving the housemates in tears, especially Rupali Ganguly, who broke down while bidding farewell.
Bigg Boss is known not only for its controversies but also for its emotional moments. One memorable instance was when Bobby Darling was evicted from Bigg Boss 1 in the first week of the season, hosted by Arshad Warsi, leaving everyone in tears.
When Arshad Warsi said to Bobby Darling, “Bobby aapko taiyaar hona hoga, aapke paas 5 minute hai sabko bye keh sakte hai. (Bobby, you need to get ready. You have 5 minutes to say goodbye to everyone.),” the house was overcome with emotion.
As soon as Arshad announced his eviction, Rupali Ganguly, who later gained fame for Anupamaa and Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, broke down and gave Bobby a warm hug. Bobby, trying to hold back tears, said, “Please don’t cry, mujhe jaate huye mat rulao. (Please don’t cry. Don’t make me cry as I leave.)”
Rahul Roy, Ravi Kishan, Rakhi Sawant, Kashmera Shah and other contestants were all emotional. Before leaving the house, Bobby took a moment and prayed in front of Lord Ganesha's idol. Then everyone shared a light-hearted moment and then Bobby left the house, leaving Rupali in tears.
