Salman cancels evictions
Salman declares Romil safe, thanks to his gesture the previous week. As a gift, a meeting is facilitated between Romil and his wife and child.

KV says that Sreesanth doesn’t respect the show, but Sreesanth says that were he not trustworthy, he wouldn’t have survived international cricket. KV retorts by saying that Sreesanth hates people and is fake, this might be good for the show but not in real life. Sreesanth says that he is in a show, which impresses Salman, who can’t control his laughter.
Sreesanth wins the first round. The second round is wrestling, which will be a best of three round. Sreesanth pins KV down easily, and says that he would prefer to forgo the round because he is afraid he’ll get aggressive. KV says he wants him to get aggressive, so Sreesanth re-enters the ring and pins KV down once again, thereby winning the match.
9:40 pm ISTSalman introduces Deepak’s village in a video
Salman talks about how Deepak didn’t feel as if the village he is from is even able to watch him on the show. So Salman introduces a special video that takes viewers to Deepak’s village and shows them his friends and family. Deepak’s mother says that her son has put the village on the map thanks to Bigg Boss. Because of him, there is now a TV in the village and everyone comes over and watches the show together.
Deepak’s grandmother breaks down in tears at the end of the video, and then Salman talks to the villagers directly. They say they’re very proud of Deepak and are supporting him whole heartedly.
His sister says she’s upset that she isn’t able to spend Bhai Dooj with Deepak, but speaking with Salman ‘bhai’ has made her happy.
Salman then speaks to Deepak directly. He tells him that he has spoken to his mother, and that the entire village is watching him, and is very proud of him. Deepak becomes emotional but says he won’t cry.
9:30 pm ISTThe task enters phase two, contestants fight for immunity
Salman shows the contestants an immunity medallion, which they’ll have to bid for. The bid must remain between 100,000 and 500,000. Only one contestant, whose bid is the highest and the most unique, will win the medallion.
The cost of the bid will be deducted from the final prize money. Romil bids the upper limit of 500,000 and wins the medallion.
9: 20 pm ISTPreity Zinta performs a task inside the house
Preity divides the team into two teams. The Bigg Boss house is turned into a set, with both teams tasked with performing a romantic scene before Preity. Jasleen dances like a temptress before Shiv, whose girlfriend, played by Srishty, becomes jealous.
The romantic scene turns into an action scene when two guys start fighting over the girl. As Jasleen provides the soundtrack, more dance numbers are performed and everyone lives happily ever after.
The second team steps up, with Sreesanth and Deepak starting things. Deepak is schooled about one-sided love by Romil. Somi complains that she isn’t interested in Deepak. Sreesanth, who has actually acted in Malayalam films, seems to be fully in character as a brother character, who stands up for the honour of his sister.
Like the previous sketch, this one too ends with two guys fighting over a girl. But in a twist, Sreesanth and Romil end up dancing together, as if they’ve fallen for each other.
Preity applauds both performances, and says she’s impressed by Jasleen’s singing, but Sreesanth’s team’s progressive ideas impress her more. The winning team is promised a chance of avoiding nominations, and with that Preity leaves the house.
But Sreesanth becomes emotional because he has been a part of Preity’s cricket team, Kings XI Punjab.
9:10 pm ISTSalman Khan plays Bigg Boss
Salman Khan wakes up the contestants instead of Bigg Boss. “Today you’ll do what I tell you. If you don’t, there’ll be trouble,” Salman says. His first command is to get the contestants to break dance, which they do, to his song Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai.
His next command to the contestants is to get them to make the Bigg Boss logo on the floor with just their bodies. After that, he commands Somi to wax Deepak;s arms. Deepak flinches, but is told to also get his legs waxed.
Immediately after this challenge, Salman commands the contestants to do the Naagin dance, which he is very amused by. He then tells everyone to pause, while Shivashish performs alone. Salman can’t contain his happiness at watching Shiv dance, and laughs loudly.
Salman then commands Shiv and Shreesanth to sacrifice their gym equipment until the next instruction. Without any choice, they do so.
Barely able to keep a straight face, Salman commands Jasleen to give up all her makeup. Jasleen protests loudly while the rest of the housemates laugh. Salman then reveals that he’s pulling her leg, and asks her to bring out a box from the store room - it turns out to be clothes for Deepak, from home.
