In today’s episode, the housemates gather in the democracy room, where Bigg Boss brings up the topic of choosing the new captain of the week. After an intense discussion and several rounds of voting, Mridul and Pranit emerge as the top contenders. Eventually, Mridul is announced as the new captain of the house.
Mridul promises to be a fair and active leader, assuring everyone that he’ll handle his duties responsibly. Gaurav expresses confidence that Mridul will do well, while Pranit, Ashnoor, Abhishek, and Gaurav congratulate him warmly. Mridul hints that his captaincy will be a bit “dramatic.”
Gaurav then talks to his group about their voting choices. Abhishek says he supported his own team, and Gaurav agrees that both Mridul and Pranit were worthy contenders. When Abhishek asks why Ashnoor wasn’t considered, Gaurav explains that she isn’t very popular with the opposing group.
Meanwhile, Tanya tells Shehbaz that although Kunikaa had disrespected her mother, Neelam still supported her, so she doesn’t understand why Neelam is upset now. Shehbaz asks Tanya why she didn’t speak up, and Farhana also questions her silence. Tanya replies that since Neelam was already addressing the issue, she chose not to intervene.
Later, Ashnoor asks Gaurav why people criticized her for sitting with the other group. Gaurav explains that even though they act friendly, that group doesn’t actually like her. Ashnoor says she understands his perspective. Gaurav then advises Mridul to keep some distance from him so others don’t accuse him of influencing the captain. He also warns that some housemates might play on emotions to manipulate situations.
Elsewhere, Tanya tells Shehbaz that Mridul twisted her words, leading to a heated argument between Malti and Shehbaz.
Abhishek suggests that Mridul assign Gaurav to kitchen duty for entertainment value. Gaurav teaches Pranit how to make rotis, saying that with a little thought, Pranit can do anything.
Mridul later tries to talk to Tanya, but she asks him to stay away. Mridul explains that he only spoke up because he heard she had talked about him behind his back, but Tanya ignores him.
Farhana asks Neelam to feed Tanya, and Malti decides to do it instead to return a favor. Gaurav also encourages Tanya to eat, but she ignores both of them. Gaurav then tells Malti to call Amaal to help.
Abhishek and Ashnoor comment that Tanya is just pretending by refusing food. Neelam eventually gives food to Tanya and leaves, but Tanya still refuses to eat.
Mridul officially assigns Gaurav to kitchen duties. Gaurav agrees and says he’ll help Neelam, but requests that Abhishek consult him before making any decisions.
Pranit questions Abhishek’s motive for wanting Gaurav in the kitchen, accusing him of trying to provoke Gaurav. He adds that Abhishek would have reacted the same way if he were in that position. Pranit stands up for Gaurav and later hugs both Gaurav and Mridul, saying he sees Gaurav as a brother.
Meanwhile, Tanya confides in Farhana that she’s upset with Amaal for making comments about her. When Shehbaz and Farhana tease her, she becomes emotional.
Kunikaa tells Pranit and Abhishek that Gaurav is very toxic and lacks basic manners, like greeting people properly. Malti, on the other hand, is pleased that Gaurav has been assigned to the kitchen.
The housemates then take part in an Appy Fizz promotional task. Gaurav, Farhana, and Neelam win the task and receive a special hamper.
Shehbaz encourages Neelam to talk to Tanya, but Tanya says Neelam can take her time if she’s not ready yet.
Later, Pranit More lightens the mood by roasting Farhana Bhatt and other contestants for fun.
In the final moments of the episode, Amaal and Tanya get into an argument involving Neelam and Farhana.
