The episode opens with Salman making a grand entrance onto the stage. He comments on recent developments in the house, including Tanya’s growing friendship with Neelam and other dynamics among the contestants.
He greets the housemates and congratulates Mridul on becoming the week’s captain, and Mridul thanks him.
Salman then interacts with Gaurav, asking how long it would take to clean 20 spoons. Gaurav jokes that cleaning would take a minute but arguing about it would take half an hour, prompting a humorous response from Salman. He then asks Kunikaa how long it actually took, and she says she made Ashnoor time it—150 seconds—leading to a playful comment from Ashnoor.
Turning to Ashnoor, Salman discusses the bond between Farhana and Abhishek, teasing them about Farhana calling Abhishek the “most pure-hearted” person in the house, which surprises everyone.
Salman addresses the housemates, questioning their shock at Tanya and Farhana’s friendship and reminding them that alliances in Bigg Boss often shift. He talks to a few contestants about this, understanding Neelam’s upset over Farhana tearing her family letter and pointing out Basheer and Nehal’s surprise at Tanya and Farhana getting along. Nehal explains that despite past arguments, an emotional bond has always existed.
Salman then speaks to Neelam, noting that she shared her pain with everyone, and points out that some people got involved only for TV content. Neelam acknowledges this and comments further.
Next, Salman scolds Mridul for misrepresenting Tanya’s advice to others, clarifying that Tanya was not at fault. He discusses Mridul’s captaincy, revealing that Shahbaaz suggested him because his own teammates don’t get along with others. Gaurav agrees and suspects Kunikaa and Shahbaaz might have planned it.
After a short break, a heated argument breaks out between Kunikaa and Gaurav. Shahbaaz tries to explain, but Gaurav refuses to listen, sticking with Salman’s earlier comments.
Salman returns, praising Kunikaa for her gameplay and highlighting her influence on Tanya, who says Kunikaa encouraged her to fight her own battles. Salman agrees that Tanya made the right choice.
He then talks to Malti, congratulating her on adding a “new chess move” to her strategy by revealing others’ secrets when cornered. He warns her that future wildcards could expose her in turn, and she agrees to be cautious.
Gaurav is then called to share his perspective and point out certain housemates, including Kunikaa and Basheer, demonstrating his awareness of everyone. Salman asks the contestants to raise their hands if they truly know Gaurav Khanna. Malti admits she doesn’t know much about him, and Salman observes that in the Bigg Boss house, a person eventually reveals their true character suggesting this might be Gaurav’s real self.
Salman addresses Mridul and Ashnoor’s childish behavior during the week, reprimanding Mridul for pouring water on Ashnoor while she held a hairdryer and telling him not to repeat it. He also mentions Abhishek pouring water on Tanya’s clothes but commends Tanya for staying composed.
He reveals that Nehal has been influencing Amal and warns her against creating misunderstandings. Farhana cheers when Salman points out Kunikaa as the one who spread a rumor about her calling Neelam a dancer.
Salman concludes the session, bids the housemates goodbye, and leaves the stage. Later, Tanya tells the housemates that even though Salman cleared her name, no one seems to believe her.
Finally, Salman informs the audience that one of the nominees Gaurav, Basheer, Nehal, or Pranit will be evicted the next day. The episode ends.
