Weekly summary

[edit]

The main events in the Bigg Boss 18 house are summarised in the table below.

Week 1 Entrances During the Grand Premiere, host Salman Khan welcomed new housemates and introduced them to audience. Chaahat, Shehzada, Avinash, Shilpa, Tajinder, Shrutika, Nyrraa, Chum, Karanveer, Rajat, Muskan, Arfeen, Sara, Eisha, Gunratan, Hema, Vivian and Alice entered house in order.[44]
Twists
  • On the Grand Premiere, Bigg Boss predicted that Chaahat would end up in jail, but she could change her fate by convincing two other housemates to take her place. If she failed, Chaahat would go to jail. After convincing Tajinder and Hema, Chaahat avoided jail, while Tajinder and Hema were sent to jail until further orders from Bigg Boss.[45]
  • During the Grand Premiere, Bigg Boss also predicted that Vivian and Alice would be the top two contestants of the season, and that voting lines would only open for them if they both reach the finale.[46]
  • On Day 2, Bigg Boss presented two options to the jailed Tajinder and Hema: a) they could gain control over ration by remaining in jail until further orders from Bigg Boss, or b) they could be released from jail and become ordinary housemates like the others. Tajinder and Hema chose option a, allowing them to control the ration while in jail. Ration supplies were sent from the storeroom to the jail, where they would be distributed as they saw fit.[36]
  • On Day 4, Bigg Boss announced that jailmates Tajinder and Hema could be released if two other housemates took their place in jail. The first to go was Chaahat, who volunteered. Bigg Boss then asked all the housemates who supported the release of both Tajinder and Hema. Karanveer, Eisha and Avinash did not support their release. Consequently, Bigg Boss allowed them to choose another housemate to accompany Chaahat in jail. The three agreed on Gunratan, but he declined to go. As a result, since neither Chaahat nor Gunratan was imprisoned, Tajinder and Hema remained incarcerated.[47]
  • On Day 5, Bigg Boss gave Tajinder and Hema the chance to be released from jail if they sacrificed all the rations currently present in the house, promising them daily basic rations. They both agreed to this arrangement and were released from jail, while all the rations were returned to Bigg Boss.[48]
  • During the grand premiere, a donkey named Gadhraj was sent into the house, where he was tied in the garden near the smoking area. On Day 7, host Salman Khan announced the end of his presence in the house.[49]
Nominations Maut Ka Farmaan

On Day 3, the nomination process was held in the garden area, where all housemates' photos were displayed on the Maut Ka Farmaan board. First, each housemate nominated one contestant. Later, the archer would shoot an arrow at the photo of the nominated housemate. Any housemate who received three or more nominations would be nominated for eviction; those receiving less than three nominations would be safe. The archer had ten arrows, allowing housemates to nominate a maximum of ten contestants.[50]

Chaahat, Gunratan, Karanveer, Muskan, and Avinash were nominated for the first week's weekend eviction process.[50]

Tasks On Day 1, Bigg Boss assigned a task to the housemates to earn rations. During this task, an hourglass was placed in the garden, where housemates in pairs needed to keep an eye on it while sitting on a horse. Each pair would first fill the sand kept near the hourglass up to the yellow line. They then needed to open a knob at the bottom to allow the sand to flow from the hourglass until it reached the red line mark. After that, the pair would stop the knob and hand it over to the next pair, who would repeat the same procedure.

However, the housemates failed to comply with the rules. The first violation was by Shilpa, who fell asleep while watching the hourglass, and the second violation was Karanveer, who started the task alone instead of in a pair. As a result, Bigg Boss halted the task and announced that instead of 16 boxes of rations, he would only provide six boxes.[51]

Task cancelled[51]
Sponsored On Day 7, Bellavita gifted perfume to the housemates.
Exits On Day 7, there was no eviction. However Gadhraj was removed from the house.[52]
Week 2 Twists On Day 11, Following the hunger strike, Bigg Boss opened the confession room for the housemates and asked them to state one demand they wanted fulfilled to resolve their problems in the future. Later, Bigg Boss revealed that only Avinash, Shrutika, Tajinder, and Chum requested ration for all housemates. Bigg Boss announced he would provide the ration, but to receive it, the housemates needed to change one significant event from the past. The two events to consider were the release of Tajinder and Hema from jail and the absence of any eviction among the nominated housemates last week.

Bigg Boss presented two options for the housemates to choose from: the first option involved selecting any two housemates to go to jail, and the second option was the eviction of one nominated housemate among Chaahat, Karanveer, Muskan, and Avinash. The housemates initially selected the first option but couldn't reach a decision. Eventually, they chose the second option, evicting Avinash by majority vote.

Later, Bigg Boss announced that Avinash would exit the house, only to unexpectedly return to jail with control of the house's ration, which Bigg Boss granted in exchange for making the decision.[37]

Nominations Tandav Express

On Day 10, Bigg Boss announced that, as the Time God, Arfeen was safe from nominations and asked him for two names he wanted to nominate. He named Tajinder and Muskan. Later, Bigg Boss revealed that there would be a task involving a station named Khatra Nagari, where a train named Tandav Express had arrived. Only passengers carrying food items could board this train to become safe from nominations. The last two housemates to enter the train or the two housemates who remained at the station after the train's departure would be nominated.

The shopkeepers distributing food items to the housemates in the first round would be Tajinder and Muskan, as they were nominated by Arfeen. In the subsequent rounds, the two housemates who were nominated would become the shopkeepers.[53]

Muskan, Tajinder, Rajat, Chaahat, Avinash, Shrutika, Shilpa, Karanver, Hema, Alice were nominated for the second week’s weekend eviction process.[53]
Time God Task

On Day 9, Bigg Boss assigned a task in the activity area for all housemates to compete for the title of the house's first Time God, who would have the power to change decisions from the past, present, and future, as well as control over time in the house. This role was more significant than that of the captain, who merely received immunity and some rights.

The task was conducted in two rounds. In the first round, out of 18 housemates, dolls representing nine housemates would be offered to the devil by any housemate. The housemates whose dolls were offered would be eliminated from the race to become the Time God. In the second round, dolls from the remaining nine housemates would be offered, with eight dolls being chosen by any housemate to be offered to the devil. The housemate whose doll was not offered would become the Time God.

Arfeen's doll was safe, which allowed him to become the Time God.[54]

Sponsored On Day 12, Bellavita organized a task involving two teams, with Shilpa and Rajat judging them. Team A's skit depicted Shrutika and Vivian as a couple taking a sweet box as a gift to a Diwali party. Karanveer played the role of a Bellavita salesman, attempting to persuade them to choose a Bellavita perfume box instead of the sweet box.

In Team B's performance, Alice and Eisha portrayed best friends who also planned to take a sweet box to the Diwali party, with Shehzada taking on the role of their salesman. Both teams' salesmen incorporated Bellavita's key attributes into their performances, highlighting points such as: "Bellavita perfumes are long-lasting because they contain oils imported from Europe," "Over the past two years, more than 5 crore bottles of Bellavita perfumes have been sold," and "With four distinct fragrances, Bellavita offers a unique alternative to traditional sweet gifts. That's why we say, 'Think Beyond Meetha, Gift Bellavita.'"

The judges chose Team A and they received gift hampers filled with Bellavita perfumes. Since the housemates were together during this Diwali celebration, Bellavita also prepared gift hampers for their families outside.

Team A was chosen, so hampers were awarded to Shrutika, Vivian and Karanveer.

On Day 13, Harpic India introduced a task featuring a mood-o-meter currently present in the house, which rates the mood after using the bathroom. Whenever a guest arrives, they will provide their mood rating on the Harpic mood-o-meter. If the bathroom is not clean, they will give a sad rating, while a clean bathroom will receive a happy rating. Red Harpic Bathroom Cleaner specializes in everyday bathroom cleaning. All housemates must clean the bathrooms with Red Harpic Bathroom Cleaner to keep everyone's mood happy, as there will be surprises waiting during the weekend episodes. After this cleaning process, the mood-o-meter can be used, and if the bathrooms remain clean, the effects will be noticed during the weekend.

All housemates then cleaned the bathrooms and basins with Red Harpic Bathroom Cleaner, eagerly awaiting the arrival of guests that weekend. During the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, Krushna Abhishek inspected the bathrooms. He was pleased with the cleaning efforts and gave happy ratings on the Harpic mood-o-meter.

On Day 14, Macho conducted a poll to choose the Macho Toing Man of the Week among the male housemates. The results were announced, and Vivian was selected as the Toing Man of the Week. He received a gift hamper from Macho as a reward.
On Day 14, Blue Heaven gifted their range of cosmetic products to the female housemates for always being ready and presentable in the house.
Exits On Day 10, Gunratan walked out of the house due to his court case, becoming the first housemate to exit.[55]
On Day 14, Hema was evicted after facing the public vote, becoming the second housemate to exit.[56]
Week 3 Twists On Day 18, Bigg Boss called Avinash and presented him with two choices: to be released from jail and live as an ordinary housemate, or to remain in jail but gain additional powers, including control over the household's rations. Avinash opted for the second choice, deciding to stay in jail with enhanced authority.

Subsequently, Bigg Boss announced to all the housemates that the jail had now transformed into a powerhouse due to its new privileges. To assist Avinash, another housemate would be chosen by the others and jailed. By majority vote, they chose Arfeen, who was promptly sent to join Avinash in jail.

Shortly after this, Bigg Boss played an audio clip for all the housemates, revealing a past conversation in which Arfeen remarked that Sara did not deserve to be in the house. Bigg Boss emphasized that Arfeen, now holding power in jail, had significant influence over the dynamics within the house. As a consequence of his words, Sara was instructed to wear a "Expiring Soon" necklace that symbolized her impending eviction, which could happen within the next 24 hours.[38]

Later, Bigg Boss introduced a rankings task for the housemates, excluding those in jail, based on their contributions to the show. All housemates, except for Arfeen and Avinash, were required to rank themselves from 1 to 14, with 1 being the most valuable contributor and 14 the least.

As the housemates struggled to reach a consensus on their rankings, Bigg Boss intervened by announcing that Arfeen and Avinash, would take over the responsibility of ranking their housemates.

Arfeen and Avinash announced the rankings for all housemates, placing them from 1 to 14. The rankings were determined as follows: Rajat, Vivian, Shilpa, Sara, Eisha, Shrutika, Alice, Karanveer, Chaahat, Shahzada, Chum, Nyrraa, Tajinder, and Muskan.

As Tajinder and Muskan were at the bottom of the rankings, Bigg Boss informed them that their contributions to the show had been lacking. With the message that "time doesn’t wait for anyone," Tajinder and Muskan were given the Expiry Soon necklace, which they would wear alongside Sara. Additionally, they were warned that they were on a ticking time bomb; their time in the house was limited, and one of them would soon be evicted.

Sara, Tajinder and Muskan were up for eviction as they had been given the Expiry Soon tag.[57]

On Day 20, housemates had to place a "Get Out" sticker on the face of Muskan, Sara, or Tajinder, all of whom were wearing the "Expiry Soon" tag. The housemates had to vote for whom they believed should leave the house. Muskan received the most votes, 6, and was subsequently evicted. Tajinder received 4 votes, while Sara garnered 3, indicating their unpopularity.

Additionally, Bigg Boss announced that Arfeen and Avinash would be released from jail, with Sara and Tajinder taking their places, thus gaining control over the house's ration supplies. Furthermore, Bigg Boss confirmed that the previous nominations for public voting remain valid, meaning either Avinash, Rajat, Nyrraa, or Vivian will be evicted per public vote this weekend.[58][39]

Nominations On Day 17, Bigg Boss asked all housemates to name their favorite member in the house. The majority chose Shrutika as their favorite. Following this, Bigg Boss gathered all housemates in the activity area, where a lamp and a chair were set up for the genie. Since Shrutika was voted as the favorite, she was given the power to control nominations instead of the Time God, who was not elected this week.

Shrutika will distribute nomination rights to each housemate as follows: four housemates will receive no nomination rights, another four, 1 nomination right, four, 2 rights, and four, 3 nomination rights. Each housemate will be called individually by Bigg Boss to approach the lamp and rub it. After doing so, the genie, represented by Shrutika, will inform them of the number of nomination rights they have received.

Once notified, each housemate will stand under the light corresponding to their nomination rights and proceed to nominate the number of housemates allowed by their rights.[59]

Avinash, Nyrraa, Rajat, Muskan, Vivian were nominated for the third week’s weekend eviction process.[59]
Time God Task Bigg Boss General Elections

On Day 16, Bigg Boss summoned Rajat in confession room and presented him with two choices: he could either secure the contendership for the Time God for himself or give it to another housemate. Rajat opted to claim the contendership for himself, becoming the first contender for the Time God title.

Later, Bigg Boss announced a formal election between the current Time God, Arfeen and Rajat, who was vying to become the future Time God. The election setup, complete with campaigning, would take place in the garden area. Rajat, as Contestant 1, was assigned the symbol of the sun, while Arfeen, as Contestant 2, would represent the moon.

In the first phase, both contestants needed to promote their candidacies to the other housemates, explaining why they should be chosen as the Time God. Afterward, one housemate would endorse their preferred contender and also share their reasons.

At the sound of the buzzer, the second phase commenced. Each housemate then entered the confession room individually to cast their vote in a ballot box.

Once the election process concluded, Bigg Boss announced that there was no definitive result, as both contenders received an equal number of votes—eight each. Consequently, there would be no Time God for the week.[60]

Task Welcome to Hell

On Day 19, Bigg Boss offered all housemates a chance to earn rations for themselves. Hell was created in the garden area, overseen by its keepers, Arfeen and Avinash. Each housemate was required to sacrifice a personal belonging in the fire pit and, in exchange, they could request items from Arfeen and Avinash. The two would decide whether to grant any requests, and if so, to what extent; they also had the option to deny requests altogether.

Housemates who chose not to sacrifice anything would not receive any rations. After the distribution, any remaining rations would be returned to the jail, under the control of Arfeen and Avinash. Those who received no items would be lined up against a wall. Once Arfeen or Avinash pressed a buzzer, a blast would ensue, dousing the housemate with black ink.[61]

Sponsored On Day 16, Galaxy Jewels presented a key to Avinash, who was in jail and controlling the house's ration supply. This key unlocked a dispenser filled with chocolates from Galaxy Jewels. Avinash had the privilege of sharing these chocolates with up to three housemates whom he considered to have a special bond with. He chose to share the treats with Eisha, Alice, and Muskan.
On Day 19, My Trident installed a small valve in the bedroom, showcasing their folklore bedsheets made from 100% cotton. One of the bedsheets, which featured the design of Kalpavriksha (the wishing tree), was elegantly laid on the My Trident bed.
On Day 20, Macho announced the results of the "Toing Man of the Week" poll, which allowed viewers to vote for their favorite male housemate. Rajat was chosen as the winner and received a Macho Sporto gift hamper as a prize.
On Day 21, host Salman Khan unveiled the Go Cheese Greet Corner, situated near the jail, where Go Cheese will deliver cheesy surprises throughout the season. This time, Go Cheese treated all the housemates to pizza.
Exits On Day 20, Muskan was evicted after the majority of housemates voted her out, becoming the third housemate to exit.[58]
On Day 21, Nyrraa was evicted after facing the public vote, becoming the fourth housemate to exit.[62]
Week 4 Twists

On Day 26, Bigg Boss granted a special power to the Time God, Vivian. With Sara and Tajinder’s term in jail coming to an end, it was Vivian's responsibility to send two new housemates in their place. He could take suggestions from the other housemates about whom to choose. Ultimately, Vivian decided to send Rajat and Shrutika to jail.

Later, Bigg Boss announced that all the house rations would be stored in the kitchen instead of the jail, but this time, the ration would not be controlled by jailmates. Instead, the power to decide the menu for the kitchen would belong to the jailmates, as Bigg Boss provided them with a whiteboard and marker to vote on what dishes should be prepared.[63]

Nominations On Day 24, housemates were required to nominate two fellow contestants in the confession room. However, those nominated would face a shock outside as a consequence. During the nomination process, Chum apologised to her housemates prior to entering the confession room to cast her votes. This resulted in Bigg Boss canceling her right to participate in the nominations.[64]
Shehzada, Shrutika, Eisha, Avinash, Alice, Arfeen, Shilpa were nominated for the fourth week’s weekend eviction process.[64]
Time God Task Tandav Garh

On Day 25, Bigg Boss presented a task to become Time God of the House. In this task, the house is transformed into Tandav Garh, ruled by Rajmata Shilpa. She has two princes, Vivian and Karanveer, who are rival brothers competing for her throne. The prince who becomes the successor gains the power to be the Time God.

The task consists of two rounds. In the first round, both princes must present their case to Rajmata Shilpa, explaining why they deserve to succeed her and become the Time God. They will highlight their strengths while pointing out the weaknesses of their opponent. After their presentations, the people of Tandav Garh will have the opportunity to question both princes.

In the second round, the princes must win the heart of Princess Chum. Upon completing this round, Princess Chum will recommend the prince who won her admiration to Rajmata Shilpa. Rajmata, considering the performances from both rounds, will decide which prince will be her successor and thus become the Time God of the house. Rajat will serve as the commander to Rajmata Shilpa during this task.

After the conclusion of both rounds, Rajmata Shilpa chose Prince Vivian as the successor to her throne and announced him as the Time God of the house.[65]

Punishments

On Day 23, Bigg Boss reprimanded all housemates for their lack of organization and cleanliness in the house. He then turned to Vivian, who the housemates consider a favorite of Bigg Boss, and asked him who he thought was the most unorganized person in the house. Vivian named Chaahat, after which Bigg Boss asked the other housemates for their opinions; three of them agreed.

In response, Bigg Boss announced that Chaahat would allocate duties for all housemates. She would oversee the distribution of duties, ensuring that everyone completed their assigned duties. Chaahat was provided with a duty board where she would write the names of housemates next to their respective duties.[66]

Until then, Rajat, who had previously served as the supervisor during the Time God's tenure, would train the housemates on how to properly execute their duties. Chaahat then allocated the following duties on the duty board:

Team A consisted of Avinash and Eisha, while Team B included Karanveer and Chum. Shilpa and Vivian judged the performances, declared Team B the winners and awarded Karanveer and Chum a My Trident gift hamper.
On Day 26, Harpic India organized a special activity in the house to celebrate Diwali. In this activity, Karanveer and Avinash were responsible for cleaning the bathrooms, wash basins with Red Harpic, and toilets with Blue Harpic. Once they completed the cleaning, Vivian would inspect their work and provide a rating on the mood-o-meter. Satisfied with the efforts of Karanveer and Avinash, Vivian gave a happy rating on the mood-o-meter.
On Day 27, Galaxy Jewels presented a hamper of chocolates to Vivian, who was honored as the Time God during Diwali Week and became the Jewel of the House. Vivian had the option to share these chocolates with whomever he chooses.

Week 5 Entrances During Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan introduced new wildcard entrants to the audience. On Day 29, Digvijay and Kashish officially entered the house.[34]
Twists On Day 29, Bigg Boss announced Rajat and Shrutika's release from jail and that the jail would be closed for a few days.
Nominations

On Day 30, Bigg Boss summoned all housemates to the activity area, where a hungry octopus awaited them. The octopus would only be fed through the nominations of the housemates. Bigg Boss granted the nomination rights to the Time God Vivian, who was tasked with nominating eight housemates. Digvijay and Kashish were exempt from nominations, as it was their first week in the house. Vivian nominated Rajat, Chaahat, Shrutika, Sara, Karanveer, Arfeen, Tajinder, and Chum.

Unexpectedly, Bigg Boss revealed that not all eight nominees were truly out of the running; four of them could still achieve safety. After announcing the nominated housemates by Bigg Boss, if at least four raise their hands to vote for a housemate's safety, then that nominated housemate would be safe. As he called out the names—Rajat, Chaahat, Karanveer, Shrutika, and Chum—Ultimately, Rajat, Karanveer, Shrutika, and Chum received enough votes to secure their safety.

Consequently, Chaahat, Sara, Arfeen, and Tajinder remained nominated for elimination.[68]

Chaahat, Sara, Arfeen, Tajinder were nominated for the fifth week's weekend eviction process.[68]
Time God Task

On Day 32, Bigg Boss assigned Team B a task to compete for the title of Time God, following their previous victory. In this challenge, Rajat, Chaahat, Shrutika, Digvijay, Karanveer, and Sara were required to hold the Time God’s staff (scepter) using only one hand. Any contestant who lost their grip, changed hands, or relied on both hands would be eliminated. The last contestant remaining would be declared the new Time God, with Vivian moderating the task.

As the task progressed, Shrutika, Chaahat, Rajat, and Sara were eliminated, leaving Digvijay and Karanveer as the final two contenders. During the intense challenge, the staff broke, with Digvijay holding one half and Karanveer holding the other.

Given the task rules, Bigg Boss announced that since the staff was broken and neither contestant held it until the end, no one could be awarded the title of Time God. As a result, Vivian was reinstated as Time God and would continue his tenure.

Tasks Hammer Making Factory

On Day 31, Bigg Boss announced the end of Vivian's tenure as Time God and introduced the selection process for the next Time God. This would involve a task between two teams, competing to create a soil hammer in the Hammer Making Factory, conducted in rounds. Each round would start with the factory siren.

From each team, two members would try to make the hammer while the other two would protect it. At the end of each round, a moderator would declare the results, awarding the winning team a real hammer. This hammer would allow them to eliminate one member of the opposing team by breaking their pot.

The team with the most members remaining at the end of the task would win, and all its members would then be eligible to become the next Time God.

The teams were as follows:

Week 6 Twists

On Day 36, Bigg Boss introduced the option for the housemates to select their weekly ration. He noted that while he was willing to provide all the necessary items, previous violations of rules meant they could only choose 50 from the list. The housemates requested an increase in the number of items, and Bigg Boss agreed, stating he would provide more than 50 if they followed all rules. However, if they violated any rule, he would seize all rations. Some of the basic weekly ration lists are placed here.

Whole Wheat Flour 1 packet is 1 kg (Max. 10 packets) Cabbage 1 tray is 1 kg (Max. 4 kg) Masoor Dal 1 packet is 250 gram (Max. 8 packets) Tomato 1 tray

The housemates initially demanded 150 items, but when Bigg Boss agreed to their request, they declined and settled for just 50 items. Later, Bigg Boss presented three additional options that were missing from the original list: (1) Coffee or Vivian's Coffee, (2) Tea or Green Tea. To select any of these options, the housemates would have to sacrifice five of the items they had initially chosen.

Ultimately, they decided against any of the additional options and stuck with the 50 items. Bigg Boss reprimanded them for choosing just 50 instead of taking the opportunity to request more, particularly since they had consistently failed to follow the rules. He emphasized that they should not voice concerns only regarding ration while ignoring their responsibility to adhere to the rules. In the end, Bigg Boss provided the housemates with their chosen 50 items as part of their weekly ration.

On Day 41, Bigg Boss presented Time God Rajat with a unique opportunity to alter the timeline, allowing him to change nominations from the past. As the Time God, Rajat could save one housemate from nominations, excluding himself.

In this process, he had to stick the photos of the housemates on a punching bag and punch the photos of those he wished to keep nominated. Ultimately, the last housemate remaining on the board would be saved from nomination.

Rajat chose to save Digvijay from nominations, while all others remained on the list. Later, Bigg Boss disclosed that, based on the voting results up to that point, Digvijay was actually in the Top 2 and already in a safe zone.[71]

Nominations BB Post Office

On Day 37, the Bigg Boss house transformed into a village setup for the nomination process. The garden area featured two telephones—one for all the housemates, referred to as "villagers," and another at the BB Post Office, which was managed by Vivian, who served as the postman.

When Bigg Boss called for nominations, each housemate approached the communal telephone to contact the post office. They informed Vivian of their two nomination choices. As a postman, Vivian meticulously recorded their nominations in letters.

Once all the letters were written, Vivian had the power to cancel the nomination letters from any three housemates of his choice. After making his selections, he would then deliver the letters to the nominated housemates, who had been put forward for eviction this week.[72]

Vivian cancelled Karanveer, Rajat and Digvijay's nomination letters.

Tajinder, Shrutika, Rajat, Digvijay, Karanveer, Kashish, and Chum were nominated for the sixth week's weekend eviction process.[72]
Time God Task Bagga Tea Corner

On Day 39, Bigg Boss played a freeze-and-release game with the housemates. Afterward, the crew spread tea and coffee packets throughout the house. Bigg Boss then announced a special task to determine the 'Time God' among Shilpa, Rajat, and Chaahat.

For this task, a shop named Bagga Tea Corner, owned by Tajinder, was set up in the house. However, thieves had turned over a truck carrying tea and coffee packets intended for Bagga Tea Corner. The contenders—Shilpa, Rajat, and Chaahat—would play the roles of these "thieves."

With packets scattered across the floor, each contender had to collect the items and place them in their carts. Other housemates could support their favorites by transferring packets; however, only the contenders were allowed to pick them up from the floor.

As a twist, since the tea and coffee were not provided by Bigg Boss due to rule violations, housemates had the chance to collect these packets for their rations. They could transfer packets from the contenders’ carts to Bagga Tea Corner, ensuring that only the packets in the shop remained in the house. Any packets collected in the contenders' carts would be returned to Bigg Boss.

The contender with the highest number of collected packets would become 'Time God.' Eisha was the moderator for this task.

After the completion of the task, Bigg Boss asked all the housemates whom they wanted to appoint as the new 'Time God.' He then asked Eisha to identify which of the three contestants had gathered the most packets. Eisha revealed that Rajat was carrying the most. So, Rajat was declared the new 'Time God.'[73]

Task

On Day 38, Bigg Boss instructed all housemates to form pairs, consisting of one boy and one girl, as only couples were allowed to attend the pajama party in the bedroom. Chaahat and Kashish were the only two girls left without partners. In response, Bigg Boss announced the establishment of two hostels in the garden—one for boys and one for girls—since the boys and girls were in love with one another. Chaahat and Kashish would serve as the wardens of these hostels.

During the task, both wardens would eliminate one pair from entering the pajama party in each round. There would be five rounds, and the last remaining pair would become contenders for the title of Time God. The pairs participating were as follows: Avinash and Alice, Vivian and Eisha, Karanveer and Chum, Digvijay and Shrutika, Rajat and Shilpa, and Tajinder and Sara.

Round Eliminated
1 Vivian and Eisha
2 Tajinder and Sara
3 Avinash and Alice
4 Digvijay and Shrutika
5 Karanveer and Chum

Ultimately, Rajat and Shilpa were the last pair standing, avoiding elimination. They became contenders for the title of Time God.

Bigg Boss announced that since Chaahat and Kashish were not chosen by anyone as partners, they were appointed as wardens and thus missed the opportunity to claim contendership for the title of Time God. However, one of them could still compete for the title. The housemates who were not invited to the pajama party decided, through a mutual discussion, who among Chaahat and Kashish would become the third contender for Time God.

After deliberation, the non-contender housemates chose Chaahat. Bigg Boss then revealed that Chaahat would join Shilpa and Rajat in a task to compete for the Time God.

Winner – Rajat and Shilpa
Failed – Avinash, Alice, Vivian, Eisha, Karanveer, Chum, Digvijay, Shrutika, Tajinder and Sara
Sponsored On Day 35, Macho gifted their Macho Sporto Range to Toing Man of the Week Karanveer, who was selected by audience poll for male housemates.

On Day 40, Ching's Chinese introduced a cook-off challenge. In this competition, two teams were tasked with preparing dishes using Ching's Chinese Schezwan Chutney. Rajat, serving as the Time God, took on the role of judge and was responsible for allocating cuisines to both teams from the following options: East - Momos, West - Vada Pav, North - Paratha, and South - Uthapam.

Rajat assigned the North cuisine, Paratha, to the team of Alice and Chaahat, while the East cuisine, Momos, was given to the team of Chum and Shilpa. After the cooking was completed, Rajat tasted each dish and made his decision regarding the winner. Ultimately, he declared the North team, consisting of Alice and Chaahat, as the winners. They received gift hampers from Ching's Chinese as a reward.

On Day 41, Macho gifted their Macho Sporto Range to Toing Man of the Week Digvijay, who was selected by audience poll for male housemates.

On Day 41, Blue Heaven introduced a task where two teams competed: one team consisting of Karanveer and Chum, and the other composed of Avinash and Eisha. In this challenge, the male member of each team was responsible for preparing the female member by applying a love duo lipstick and touching up her face.

Once both female contestants were ready, the other female housemates voted to determine who looked better. The scores ended up tied, leading to both teams sharing the hamper provided by Blue Heaven.

Exits On Day 42, there was no eviction.[74]
Week 7 Entrances During Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan announced to the audience that three new wildcard contestants would enter the house this week. On Day 44, Aditi, Edin, and Yamini entered the house.[75]
Twists

On Day 45, Bigg Boss tasked the male housemates with selecting one of three new wildcard entrants to receive a special power and they chose Edin. Bigg Boss then revealed that Edin was granted the exclusive power to shop for the weekly rations for the house, where only she could see what items were available.

Following this, Edin could choose items from the storeroom and pass them to other housemates mouth-to-mouth, with no one allowed to touch the items. After Edin selected an item, each housemate would pass it along until the last person in line dropped it into a designated box. If any item was accidentally dropped during the process, passing would restart from the beginning.

The housemates were arranged in the following order: Edin, Karanveer, Shilpa, Chum, Shrutika, Kashish, Chaahat, Rajat, Digvijay, Avinash, Eisha, Vivian, Tajinder, Sara, Aditi, and Yamini. Alice served as the moderator and did not participate in the item passing.

Ultimately, the housemates successfully collected milk, chicken, ghee, curd, urad dal, moong dal, rice, chhole, tur dal, rawa, aata, paneer, apples, poha, ginger, and potatoes.[76]

On Day 48, Bigg Boss called the Time God Digvijay into the confession room. He shared that he has always prioritized relationships in the show. Bigg Boss then offered him, as Time God, the chance to change the timeline and save Kashish from the eviction process. He declined, resulting in Kashish remaining nominated and then evicted.[77]
Nominations On Day 44, Bigg Boss set up a lavish display of luxury food items on the dining table, featuring a throne at its center. Later, Bigg Boss announced that all the food items were exclusively for Time God Rajat. Each housemate, when called by Bigg Boss, would approach Rajat, who was seated on the throne. Based on their interaction, Rajat would choose how many food items to enjoy from each housemate, correlating that number to the nomination rights he wished to grant them. Rajat had the option to give a maximum of five nomination rights and a minimum of zero.[78]
Karanveer, Avinash, Chaahat, Vivian, Digvijay, Kashish, and Alice were nominated for the seventh week's weekend eviction process.[78]
Time God Task

On Day 47, a nymph appeared above the house's swimming pool and communicated only through her messenger. The contenders for the title of Time God, along with Edin, would not compete to become the Time God.

During the event, all non-contenders, except Edin, would race towards the swimming pool upon hearing a whispering sound. The first to cross the yellow line would become the messenger of the mysterious nymph. Once selected, the messenger would retrieve a cue card detailing a relationship within the house and read it aloud. The contenders would then engage in a debate based on the content of the card until the buzzer signaled the end of the discussion.

Following the debate, the messenger would decide, based on which arguments' deceiptfulness and absurdity, whom to eliminate. Taking off a mic, the messenger would announce their choice and then push the eliminated contender into the swimming pool. Each housemate could serve as a messenger only once, while Edin would act as the moderator for the task.

Task

On Day 46, Bigg Boss announced the end of Rajat's tenure as Time God, introducing a new task to determine the next contenders for the title. A small jail was set up in the garden area of the house, where five male housemates would be "arrested" and handcuffed to each corner. Meanwhile, five female housemates—excluding the new wildcard entrants—would attempt to convince or torture the male housemates to quit the jail and take their place.

Only two female housemates could enter the jail at a time to interact with two male housemates. The new wildcard entrants, Aditi, Edin, and Yamini, would serve as jailers, deciding which two female housemates to send in at any given moment for convincing or torturing.

Notably, Rajat, the former Time God, would not participate in this task.

During the task, Alice successfully replaced Vivian but was later swapped out for Eisha.

By the end of the task, Karanveer, Avinash, Tajinder, Digvijay, and Eisha emerged as contenders for the next Time God.

Winner - Karanveer, Avinash, Tajinder, Digvijay and Eisha
Failed - Chaahat, Chum, Alice, Kashish, Shrutika, Shilpa, Sara and Vivian

Week 8 Nominations

On Day 51, the "Room of Memories" was set up in the activity area, showcasing photos of cherished moments shared by all housemates except the three new wild card entrants. Bigg Boss then summoned Aditi, Edin, and Yamini into the room, explaining that the show revolves around the connections formed within the house. He noted that, thus far, the three of them had not established any connections. Bigg Boss gave them until the upcoming weekend to make these relationships, announcing that one of them would face eviction based on their lack of connections.

Later, Bigg Boss revealed that the nomination process for the old housemates would happen in pairs, determined by their connections. Each pair would enter the Room of Memories, where they would sit on a scooter with a sidecar and discuss who would step down and be nominated, while the other would remain safe. If the pair could not reach a decision before the buzzer sounded, both would face nomination. The housemate opting for nomination would dismount the scooter and use an axe to break the photo behind them.

As the Time God, Digvijay had the right to save any pair from the nomination process.

Pairs were in following order: Rajat and Chaahat, Shrutika and Chum, Avinash and Eisha, Shilpa and Vivian, Karanveer and Tajinder, Sara and Kashish.

Once the nominations were completed, Bigg Boss announced a double eviction for the upcoming weekend. One eviction would involve one of the three new wild card entrants, based on the votes of the housemates, while the second eviction would be among the old housemates who had been nominated, decided by audience votes.

Aditi, Edin and Yamini were nominated for the eighth week's weekend eviction process by votes of housemates while Shrutika, Avinash, Vivian, Karanveer, Tajinder, Kashish and Sara were nominated for the eighth week's weekend eviction process by audience votes.[81]
Time God Task

On Day 53, Edin, Eisha, and Vivian competed for the title of Time God. This week's tasks were centered on the theme of relationships within the house, beginning and ending with this focus. The task for time god would test the strength of the relationships among Eisha, Edin, and Vivian, as well as their ability to leverage those connections.

Once the buzzer sounded, the three contenders would climb onto the shoulders of their partners. After the climb, they could not dismount—partners were required to carry the contenders around the house. They were not allowed to sit, use the bathroom, or lean against any walls to relieve the weight. The other housemates would play a significant role in this task, as well. Each contender would wear an earpiece linked to a radio station stationed in the dining area balcony. Once the task commenced, housemates could enter the radio station and use the microphone to annoy any contender they disliked with taunts or comments. These distractions aimed to stress the contenders, potentially causing them to jump down and forfeit the task. Any contender whose feet touched the ground would immediately be eliminated.

Shilpa would serve as the moderator for this task. The pairs were as follows: Eisha with Avinash, Vivian with Rajat, and Edin with Karanveer.[82]

On Day 52, Bigg Boss granted Time God Digvijay the power to select a contender who would not become the next Time God. Digvijay chose Avinash, who was then eliminated from the race. Following this, Bigg Boss announced that Digvijay's tenure as Time God had ended, signaling the need to select the next contenders, with former Time Gods Vivian, Rajat, and Digvijay playing crucial roles.

A mischievous bear and its cubs were causing chaos in the garden area of the house. While the cubs were playful, the mother bear was a force to be reckoned with, brimming with energy and hunger for the housemates. Interestingly, her three favorites were the ex-Time Gods: Vivian, Rajat, and Digvijay.

A cave setup represented the bear's den in the garden. As the task commenced, Vivian, Rajat, and Digvijay would take their places inside the cave. At intervals, the sound of rustling leaves signaled that one of the bear's cubs would slide down from one of the two slides. When this happened, all housemates except the ex-Time Gods would attempt to capture the cub. Whoever caught the teddy bear would be safe from the bear's wrath.

Soon after, the sound of the bear's growl would echo, prompting one of the ex-Time Gods to exit the cave. Miniatures of all housemates were set up in the garden. The first ex-Time God to emerge from the cave could eliminate three housemates from the contention to become the Time God by breaking their miniatures with his feet. During the rounds, other housemates were allowed to enter the cave and suggest which housemates should be eliminated.

At the conclusion of the task, three contenders would be up for becoming next Time God: two from the safe miniatures and third would be the ex-Time God who had exited the cave the most times to break miniatures. Avinash will serve as the moderator for this task.

Kissa Kursi Ka

On Day 54, the housemates participated in a ration task. At the sound of the buzzer, all housemates have to gather around the seating arrangement in the dining area. Once they were in place, the Bigg Boss anthem would be played. Following the anthem, the housemates will move around the chairs in a fashion similar to musical chairs.

When the music stopped, everyone has to quickly sit down in the nearest chair. The first chair next to the storeroom was significant: whoever sat in that chair would have the first choice of the ration baskets placed in front of them. After the music stopped, the person sitting on that chair would get up, select a basket, and then pass it along until it reached the last person in line. The last person would place the basket in the kitchen area; this ration would be for the entire house and under control of the Time God Eisha.

If at any point someone holding a basket decided they did not want to pass it and preferred to keep it for themselves, they could choose to do so. In that case, the basket's contents remained under their control. Eisha will be the moderator for the task.

In the end, none of the baskets reached the kitchen area; instead, all the ration baskets remained under the control of various housemates.

On Day 55, the Room of Memories returned to the house. Last time, Bigg Boss had set an expiry date for Aditi, Edin, and Yamini, and that date had now arrived. Bigg Boss called Aditi, Edin, and Yamini to the activity area, where the Room of Memories was set up. The connections made by these three housemates would be tested, with the ultimate results in the hands of all the housemates.

In the activity area, photos of each housemate with Aditi, Edin, and Yamini were displayed. Each housemate had to enter the activity area and indicate which had best built connections. After selecting a name, they were required to attach their photo with that housemate to a designated wall.

At the conclusion of this activity, the housemate among Aditi, Edin, and Yamini with the fewest photos on the wall would be evicted from the house. Edin received eleven photos, Yamini received three photos, while Aditi received none. As Aditi received no photos, she was evicted from the house.[83]

On Day 53, Vaseline introduced an opportunity called "Live Your Bollywood Moment" for all housemates. The garden area was transformed into a snowy wonderland. To celebrate the season Bollywood-style, the challenge focused on three elements: immense confidence, flawless skin, and, of course, Vaseline.

The task was divided into three teams: Team A included Chaahat and Rajat, Team B featured Karanveer and Edin, and Team C comprised Shilpa and Vivian. Each heroine had to moisturize her skin using Vaseline Deep Moisture and perform with their partner a dance to an iconic winter-themed Bollywood song.

After all the performances, moderator Eisha would announce the winning team based on outstanding execution and creativity. Team A, consisting of Rajat and Chaahat, was declared the winner and was rewarded with an exclusive gift hamper from Vaseline.

On Day 55, Good Knight introduced an engaging activity in the house featuring their latest product: the Good Knight Flash. This new vaporizer is two times stronger and faster than any other liquid vaporizers, effectively repelling mosquitoes for an extended period, ensuring families enjoy a restful night's sleep. Remarkably, the Good Knight Flash remains effective for up to two hours after being switched off.

In the garden area, a display board showcased photos of all the housemates. One by one, the ex-time gods—Vivian, Rajat, Digvijay, and current time god—Eisha—plugged in the new Good Knight Flash and attached a photo of a housemate they felt was like a "mosquito"—someone who irritates them and sucks their blood.

During this activity, Vivian chose Chaahat, Rajat selected Karanveer, Digvijay chose Shrutika and Eisha picked Digvijay.

On Day 56, Go Cheese delighted all the former female housemates by providing them with gourmet pizzas as a token of appreciation.
Exits On Day 55, Aditi was evicted after the majority of housemates voted her out, becoming the eighth housemate to exit.[83]
Week 9 Twists

On Day 63, host Farah Khan announced that this week's eviction process would not involve the audience; instead, the housemates would vote to decide who to evict. She asked each housemate to nominate one person for eviction. Kashish received 6 votes, Chum received 5 votes, Sara received 2 votes, Karanveer received 1 vote, and Digvijay received 1 vote. Later, Farah revealed that there would be no eviction this week.

Nominations

On Day 58, Bigg Boss summoned all housemates to the activity area for nominations. There was a demonic power's pet to make the housemates fear being nominated. Any housemate pricked by the creature's thorn would find themselves nominated. However, Eisha, the house's time god, was able to counteract this.

One by one, the housemates sat before Eisha. Bigg Boss then prompted the other housemates to express their desire to nominate the seated housemate. If at least three voiced their reasons for nomination, that individual would be officially nominated. If Eisha chose to save the nominated housemate, she would present a vial of antidote, providing a chance to escape the poison of nominations. However, Eisha had only three vials at her disposal, meaning she could save only three housemates from the impending danger.[84]

Shilpa, Sara, Chum, Kashish, Digvijay, and Karanveer were nominated for the ninth week's weekend eviction process.[84]
Time God Task

On Day 59, Bigg Boss announced the end of Eisha's tenure as the Time God. He then called all housemates to the garden area, where a gaming zone had been set up. The housemates had embarked on a journey together, where starting is easy, but completing the journey is much more challenging. Along the way, they encounter difficulties, challenges, and obstacles. A journey requires hard work, dedication, resilience against opponents, and sometimes, just a stroke of luck.

The upcoming game will test all these qualities, and the housemate who excels will become the next Time God. The task will proceed as follows:

1. Luck: A spinning wheel is placed near the swimming pool, featuring the names of all housemates. Eisha will spin the wheel, and when it stops, the name next to the arrow will get a chance to compete for the title of Time God.

2. Hard Work: Dominos are set up in the garden area. Once the buzzer sounds, the housemate selected by the spinning wheel will have 30 minutes to create a wall of dominos from the starting point to the finish point.

3. Challenges: While one housemate is building the wall, other housemates who do not want them to become Time God can sabotage the effort by knocking over the dominos. If the builder fails to complete the wall within the time limit, they will lose their chance to become Time God.

Eisha's name will not be on the spinning wheel, as she will serve as the moderator for this task.

After Avinash, Vivian, Kashish, Karanveer, and Chaahat failed to build a wall of dominoes, Bigg Boss announced that the housemates' lack of effort would prevent the house from receiving its time god. However, Bigg Boss clarified that the task would not be canceled, and a time god would still be appointed. He reminded everyone that the task relied significantly on luck.

Eisha would spin the wheel, and the names of the two housemates who landed on the arrow would become contenders for the time god. Those not chosen would miss this opportunity. The task involved two colors of bricks: gold and silver. Each contender would select one color, and upon the sound of the buzzer, they would start building their domino wall. Other housemates could assist their chosen contender but were not allowed to interfere with the opponent.

Only the contenders could dismantle each other's walls. If neither contender finished their wall by the next buzzer, the one who built the most wall segments would become the next time god of the house.

Following Bigg Boss's command, Eisha spun the wheel, resulting in Rajat being selected as the first contender and Digvijay as the second. Digvijay chose gold while Rajat opted for silver.

As the moderator of the task, Eisha disqualified Digvijay and declared Rajat the winner. Consequently, Rajat became the time god.[85]

On Day 61, the Bigg Boss house transformed into BB Retreat, where a special guest would soon arrive. This guest was known for her grand hobbies and a distinct personality that follows her own rules. If things didn’t align with her preferences, she could become quite angry, and it would be the housemates' responsibility to ensure she remained happy.

Rajat, the designated manager of the BB Retreat, was asked by Bigg Boss to choose two assistant managers. He selected Avinash and Shrutika for the role, while the remaining housemates became the staff of BB Retreat. During the guest's stay, the housemates were tasked with keeping her satisfied.

Bigg Boss issued a warning to all housemates: the level of dedication they showed in fulfilling their responsibilities would directly impact their rations for the following week. The happier they kept the guest, the more fulfilled their own needs would be. Essentially, the housemates needed to prepare for an evening of hospitality, ensuring that their guest felt comfortable and content.

Later, Bigg Boss welcomed the high-profile guest, Shalini Passi, an art and design collector, UNICEF champion for children member, and philanthropist, to BB Retreat.

On Day 62, Bigg Boss announced that Shalini's time to say goodbye to BB Retreat had come. Before her departure, Bigg Boss asked Shalini whether she was satisfied with the service provided by the housemates. Shalini responded with a resounding yes, as the housemates kept her happy. As a result, all the rations kept on the rack were made available to the housemates. As tokens of appreciation, Shalini presented a gift to each housemate.

Punishments On Day 63, host Farah Khan issued a stern warning to all housemates that any act of physical aggression would result in immediate eviction from the house. This warning followed a physical incident that had occurred during the week.
Sponsored On Day 60, Parle-G, a trusted brand, introduced its latest product, Chakki Atta, which is whole wheat flour made using the traditional chakki method to retain nutritional fibers. Parle-G has organized a task for the boys in the house. In this task, the boys will create heart-shaped parathas using Parle-G Atta and present them to any girl of their choice, explaining their reason for the gift. The task moderator, Yamini, will reward the boy whose heart-shaped paratha and reason resonate with her the most with a hamper from Parle-G. Yamini chose Digvijay as winner and rewarded him with a hamper by Parle-G.
Exits On Day 63, there was no eviction.
Week 10 Twists
Nominations

On Day 65, Bigg Boss emphasized the importance of opinions in the house. Each housemate had reached this stage because of their perspectives on the house dynamics, relationships, and fellow contestants. The nomination process would be based on these opinions.

During this twist, the housemates found themselves on a jungle safari, with Rajat acting as their guide. However, Rajat manipulated the situation to his advantage, trapping the others while locking himself in a secure hut to protect himself from a "hungry, dangerous lion." Interestingly, Rajat didn’t just lock himself in; he also confined one of his favorite housemates in the hut, though his favorite constantly changed.

Before each round, Rajat would summon a housemate to his hut. The chosen housemate would be exempt from nominations for that round. However, Rajat could only select a housemate a maximum of three times.

Digvijay, Karanveer, Chaahat, Tajinder, Edin and Vivian were nominated for the tenth week's weekend eviction process.
Time God Task

Task

On Day 66, Bigg Boss announced the conclusion of Rajat's tenure as the Time God. He explained that a contender qualifies through passion, skill, and capability. Among all housemates, the three who accumulate the highest Bigg Boss currency will become contenders for the Time God title.

In this task, Karanveer, Digvijay, and Avinash will act as taxi drivers, while Yamini and Chaahat will serve as traffic officers. The remaining housemates will play the role of passengers. As the task begins, all passengers will be locked in their positions, while the three taxi drivers will navigate the house in their taxis seeking the next fare.

Roads will be designated within the house, and taxi drivers must stay on these routes. Passengers cannot move independently; they must use taxis to travel from one location to another. When the signal turns green, accompanied by the sound of a starting vehicle, passengers will indicate where they want to go. Taxi drivers can set their fares in BB currency according to their discretion.

When the signal turns red, marked by the sound of brakes, the taxis must stop. Each passenger will start with 7,000 BB currency. Both passengers and taxi drivers must strive to maintain maximum BB currency, as the passenger with the highest currency will become the first contender, while the taxi driver with the most earnings will secure the second spot. If any taxi driver or passenger violates the rules, traffic officers can impose fines.

At the end of the task, the traffic officer with the highest BB currency will be named the third contender for the Time God.

During the task, traffic officers Chaahat and Yamini overlooked violations committed by taxi drivers and passengers. As a result, Bigg Boss revoked their opportunity to contend for the Time God while they remained in their roles until the task's completion.

At the end of the task, Bigg Boss announced that there would be three contenders for the Time God, having eliminated the traffic officers from contention. The top two passengers with the most BB currency would now become the contenders.

Bigg Boss asked everyone to reveal their BB currency. Among the taxi drivers, Digvijay had 1,000, Karanveer had 7,200, and Avinash had 25,300. As Avinash had the highest BB currency, he became the first contender for Time God.

Among the passengers, Shrutika and Chum had 7,000 each, while Rajat had 22,500. The remaining passengers—Edin, Tajinder, Vivian, Shilpa, Eisha, Sara, and Kashish—had 0 BB currency. Consequently, Rajat, Chum, and Shrutika became the next contenders for Time God.

Thus, Avinash, Rajat, Chum, and Shrutika were announced as the final contenders for Time God.

Winner - Avinash, Rajat, Chum and Shrutika
Failed - Karanveer, Digvijay, Yamini, Chaahat, Edin, Tajinder, Vivian, Shilpa, Eisha, Sara and Kashish
