Captaincy Task Chaos
Day 70 opened with a high-stakes captaincy challenge that quickly set the tone for the evening. The task, held in the garden arena, required the housemates to navigate a timed maze under changing lights and sound cues, while collecting tokens indicative of “leadership rights” and handing them to their preferred captain-candidate. Once the task concluded, a dramatic reveal showed that long-time contender Pranit More—up until this point confident of his position—unexpectedly exited the task mid-way citing breathing difficulties, leaving the door open for his rivals.
The remaining contenders—Tanya Mittal, Amaal Malik and Ashnoor Kaur—delivered loosened alliances and pointed strategy shifts. Ultimately, the task favoured Ashnoor, who secured majority token transfers and became the new house captain for the week. Her new status triggered immediate dissent from previous camp-members who felt blindsided.
Strategic Shifts and Housemate Reactions
Following the captaincy result, the dynamics inside the house visibly shifted. Tanya and Amaal, both of whom had banked on Pranit’s perceived weakness, now reassessed their tactics. Tanya privately confided to Amaal that “we must pivot now—Ashnoor won’t let old alliances protect us any longer.” Meanwhile, Ashnoor, now wielding both immunity and disciplinary authority, began reshuffling team loyalties, bringing in housemates like Kunickaa Sadanand and Mridul Tiwari under her camp, signalling the end of the old guard’s dominance.
In one of the more telling moments, Ashnoor called a mini-circle in the living area and announced her “priority list” for the week—house chores, ration allocation and nominations. Her firm tone prompted contrasting reactions: some housemates nodded visibly relieved at someone taking charge, while others rolled their eyes and exchanged whispered grievances about being “used” and “dumped” by the new leadership.
Food-Related Drama: Kitchen Wars
As the week’s kitchen budget loomed, tensions flared in the food zone. Housemates had to cook their own meals while abiding by the new ration quotas set by the captain. A cumulative misunderstanding over spice allocation resulted in the communal dal being under-seasoned. Amaal loudly accused Mridul of “deliberately messing up” because both were in different camps. Mridul retorted that Amaal had ignored the ration sheet and substituted premium items without prior group discussion. The kitchen exploded with noise: spoons crashed, voices raised, and the vegetable peeling station was abandoned mid-task.
Later, Kunickaa sobbed quietly in a corner, claiming that she was “sacrificing so much for the team” yet receiving no acknowledgement. Her breakdown attracted Ashnoor’s brief comfort—though some housemates felt that gesture was purely strategic. During dinner, Ashnoor announced aggressive “ration cuts”, which triggered protest from Tanya, who accused Ashnoor of using captaincy for “personal vendetta”. The food drama underlined how even mundane chores in the house have become major battlegrounds.
Emotional Breakdowns & Flares of Conflict
In the evening segment, Pranit’s physical exit due to medical concerns was formally announced by host Salman Khan during the weekend episode. This triggered raw emotion: Pranit’s closest ally, Amaal, broke into tears and accused the rest of the house of “taking him for granted”. In a rare private moment away from the cameras, Pranit told Tanya, “It’s not about winning now—just staying sane.”
Simultaneously, an explosive argument broke out between base-camp veterans Amaal and Zeishan Qadri over nomination strategy. Zeishan mocked Amaal’s calculations, prompting Amaal to hurl a water bottle across the living room. Security intervened, but the confrontation left visible scars on the morale of both their teams.
Later in the night, housemate Kunickaa, emotionally drained by the kitchen row earlier, pulled Mridul aside and openly sobbed, saying: “I came here to showcase myself, but I feel invisible.” Mridul attempted consolation, yet the moment underlined the psychological toll the game is now taking.
Eviction Time & Looking Ahead
As the episode concluded, the nominated housemates for the week were revealed: Mridul, Amaal, Tanya, Kunickaa and Ashnoor. With Pranit out of the voting due to his medical exit, the power dynamics appear more volatile than ever. Ashnoor’s captaincy gives her significant control, but her new alliances are fragile and visible to all.
With the eviction countdown begun, the house now enters a critical phase where food skirmishes, emotional breakdowns and shifting loyalties are likely to determine who survives. The question on everyone’s lips: who will be the next to leave, and which of the changing camps will truly dominate?
