Aasif Khan Gets A Captaincy Opening

One notable confirmed turn on October 6 came late in the episode, when Bigg Boss called Aasif Khan to the confession room and offered him a task-linked route into the captaincy race. After a day dominated by nominations and strained friendships, Aasif was told he could become the news anchor for a special assignment. The opportunity carried a clear reward: if he performed it successfully, he could directly earn a chance to become a contender for captaincy.

That mattered because Aasif’s own position in the house had already begun shifting. He had nominated Love Gill earlier, saying Love had tried to influence his friend, disrespected him and spoken about him behind his back. He also nominated Kanika for not contributing enough. Later, he told ScoutOP that he was playing individually, which made the confession-room offer fit the day’s wider pattern: personal equations and game choices were becoming increasingly difficult to separate.

Mary Kom’s Punching Role Raises The Stakes

The nomination task began with Bigg Boss explaining that Mary Kom would punch the photograph of whichever contestant was being nominated. The format kept every choice in the open, and the atmosphere grew tense as personal complaints resurfaced. Mahhi Vij opened by nominating Aman, saying he had hurt her, and then chose Arishfa Khan over a misunderstanding. Mary Kom followed by nominating Mahhi Vij because of their previous fight and Qazi because she found him problematic.

The chain continued through personal grudges and game complaints. Qazi nominated Love Gill over the incident in which Love had asked him to touch her feet, and also named Kanika because he had not built an equation with her. Gullu nominated Yung and Aman. Love Gill then nominated Aman, saying his reaction after her task win had made her feel small, and she asked Mary Kom to hit Aman’s picture hard. Aman objected, and their exchange turned into a verbal fight. Love Gill later nominated Mahhi Vij too, saying Mahhi had misunderstood her during the ball task.

Qazi Becomes A Repeated Target

As more housemates joined, Qazi’s name kept resurfacing. Arishfa Khan nominated Gullu, accusing him of bullying her, and also named Kanika for not contributing enough. Amrapali chose Aman and Qazi. Yung nominated Gullu for a weak connection and Mahhi Vij for betraying him. Kanika nominated Qazi, saying he created unnecessary drama during conversations and tasks, and then nominated Arishfa Khan because she could not understand her behaviour. Aman also named Qazi, saying he was hurt by him, along with Love Gill.

ScoutOP’s nomination of Qazi brought another argument. He referred to the lollipop and doll incident and said Qazi had not taken the right stand. ScoutOP then nominated Mahhi Vij, saying she defended Qazi in private conversations. Mahhi Vij responded that defending friends was simply how she handled relationships. The written reports list Qazi, Mahhi Vij, Kanika, Aman, Love Gill, Arishfa Khan, Mary Kom and Gullu among the nominees. They also describe captain Uditi naming Mary Kom with her direct-nomination power, calling Mary clueless. The accounts do not make clear whether Uditi added Mary to the list or repeated a name already on it.

Qazi And Arishfa Khan’s Rift Turns Emotional

The nomination pressure did not end with the task. Qazi later tried to explain himself to Kanika, insisting his intention had not been wrong in the lollipop and biology matter. Kanika remained unconvinced, and Qazi eventually apologized and asked her to end the issue.

Another emotional thread formed when ScoutOP, Uditi and Arishfa Khan discussed Qazi and felt he created drama when cameras were around. Qazi learned about Arishfa Khan’s opinion and was hurt because he had considered her like a sister. Arishfa Khan, however, felt that Qazi was placing additional pressure on her by bringing their relationship into the disagreement. The conflict had moved beyond a voting decision and into the question of what personal bonds mean when they are discussed as part of the game.

Yung Feels Sidelined By His Own Circle

Yung’s frustration became the episode’s other major emotional track. He told Aasif Khan that ScoutOP had taken Love Gill aside for a separate conversation, and Aasif admitted he also felt bad about it. Yung later spoke about missing his girlfriend, feeling that many people in the house were fake, and not wanting to play like everyone else.

The hurt escalated when Yung felt ignored during a group conversation. He complained to ScoutOP that people had pushed him aside. ScoutOP and Love Gill tried to comfort him, but he initially did not want to talk. When ScoutOP asked him to hear his side, Yung said he now understood what it felt like to be sidelined and asked ScoutOP not to get too involved in the game. ScoutOP apologized and tried to clear the misunderstanding, but Yung remained angry and later told Love Gill he wanted to stay alone for some time.

A Lighter Task, But No Reset

The episode briefly softened through the Style Icon task. Amrapali read the task details, Uditi Singh and Qazi Touqeer won, and the contestants collected clothes from the Flipkart board. Uditi also teased Yung after noticing him blushing, and Yung explained that he was missing his girlfriend.

Still, the lighter segment did not undo the day’s damage. The supported events show a house where nominations exposed existing tensions instead of creating fresh ones from nowhere. Qazi’s conflicts with several contestants, Yung’s sense of being ignored, and Aasif Khan’s new captaincy route all came from the same pressure point: once public choices were forced, private relationships became harder to protect.
