- During the grand premiere on 24 August 2025, host Salman Khan introduced 16 housemates. Ashnoor, Zeishan, Tanya, Awez, Nagma, Nehal, Abhishek, Baseer, Gaurav, Natalia, Pranit, Farhana, Neelam, Kunickaa, Mridul, and Amaal entered the house in order; meanwhile, Shehbaz was not selected for entering the house by the audience.[6][18][20][17]
- On Day 0, Bigg Boss introduced a task requiring housemates to select one person to sleep outside the bedroom, which has only 15 beds, on the basis of considering that housemate “not a housemate.” Mridul was voted by the majority.
- On Day 1, the Assembly Room was inaugurated, where housemates voted to evict one contestant, leading to Farhana’s elimination and relocation to a secret room.[23][24]
- On Day 6, Bigg Boss unveiled a new “App Room” in the house, accessible each week to the housemate trending most on the JioHotstar 24×7 public chat. The selected housemate receives two apps based on whether their trending is positive or negative. As Farhana had been observing housemates from the secret room since Day 1, Bigg Boss allowed her to choose one housemate to access the App Room, with the condition that her re-entry into the main house depended on that housemate’s app choice. Farhana selected Gaurav, who was granted access. His options were: “Re-entry: Farhana Returns,” allowing Farhana to rejoin the main house, or “Half Ration, Half Plates,” reducing the house’s ration to half. Gaurav chose “Re-entry: Farhana Returns,” resulting in Farhana’s return to the main house from the secret room. Prior to this, Bigg Boss announced Farhana’s presence in the secret room, revealing her actions, including comments on nominations on Day 2, eliminating Baseer from the Merry-Go-Round captaincy contendership task on Day 4, and selecting Gaurav for App Room access.[15]
On Day 4, the “Merry-Go-Round” task was held in the garden area to select contenders for the house captain. A merry-go-round was set up alongside four houses, each with a digital screen. Before the task began, Bigg Boss asked Farhana, observing from the secret room, to remove one housemate from contention. She chose Baseer, who was then appointed as the sanchalak (moderator) for the first round. When a children’s laughter was heard, housemates mounted the merry-go-round, which rotated until the song stopped. The digital screens on the four houses then displayed the number of housemates each could accommodate. After the first round, Baseer selected one house, and its occupants were eliminated from captaincy contention. Eliminated housemates joined Baseer to decide eliminations in subsequent rounds. The task continued similarly, with multiple rounds narrowing down the contenders. After five rounds, Ashnoor Kaur, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Abhishek Bajaj emerged as the final contenders.
| Round | Eliminated |
|---|---|
| 1 | Amaal Mridul |
| 2 | Awez Nagma Natalia |
| 3 | Neelam |
| 4 | Pranit Tanya |
| 5 | Gaurav Nehal Zeishan |
On Day 5, a captaincy task was held in the garden area to determine the first house captain. A large stage was set up with three workstations, each assigned to a contender: Abhishek (blue color), Ashnoor (green color), and Kunickaa (red color), as designated by the sanchalak. Each workstation had crayons in the contender’s assigned color. Supporter housemates selected a tile from a deck, colored one side with their contender’s color, and marked the other side with a coal cross. They handed the tile to their contender (or their representative), who placed it on the stage. Other contenders could flip opponents’ tiles to display the crossed side. Bigg Boss asked the contenders if they would personally place tiles on the stage or appoint a representative. Abhishek and Ashnoor chose to participate themselves, while Kunickaa selected Baseer as her representative, which disqualified her from participating in task. Tanya was appointed sanchalak, tasked with determining the winner based on the contender with the most tiles showing their colored side (blue for Abhishek, green for Ashnoor, red for Kunickaa) visible on the stage. Tanya declared Kunickaa the winner, making her the first house captain.
- On Day 9, Bigg Boss dismissed Kunickaa as house captain after housemates voted against her leadership, citing her failure. Bigg Boss declared no new captain, with the house to be managed collectively.After Kunickaa’s dismissal, housemates declined to grant her captaincy immunity, making her eligible for nominations. The majority voted for Ashnoor to receive immunity from the week’s nominations.
- On Day 11, Bigg Boss summoned all housemates to the Assembly Room for a Truth and Dare game, focusing on Pranit More’s Day 10 The BB Show roast, where he claimed his performance was 90% truth and 10% exaggeration. Bigg Boss highlighted Pranit’s statement that the house no longer needed gas to prepare food but required a stove due to “so much kerosene with Zeishan,” questioning whether this was 90% truth or 10% exaggeration. Housemates were asked to share their opinions on the statement, with a question displayed on the TV: “Does Zeishan do the work of kerosene in the house—meaning, does he ignite conflicts or situations?” Bigg Boss instructed housemates to debate, stating that if the outcome favored Pranit, he would remain in the captaincy race and Zeishan would be excluded, but if it favored Zeishan, Pranit would be excluded. After the debate, the verdict favored Zeishan, resulting in Pranit being removed from the captaincy race.
- On Day 14, the App Room was opened for housemates voted by the audience for their BB Show performances as the most trending on JioHotstar’s 24×7 public chat. Kunickaa accessed it first, choosing between “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction” (protects a nominated housemate from eviction despite least votes) and “Battery Saver No Duty” (exempts from house duties). She chose “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction.” Mridul Tiwari accessed it next, choosing between “Gift A Rose Phoolon Ka Tohfa” (receives roses to gift to one housemate) and “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction,” selecting the latter. During the eviction process, host Salman Khan announced Kunickaa received the least votes but was saved due to her “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction” choice, resulting in no eviction.
- On Day 14, after Shehbaz’s wild card entry into the house, Bigg Boss announced that the bed sealed during the Dream Machine task on Day 10 would be available for Shehbaz, as he was not in the house at the time of the task. Shehbaz can use the bed, but no other housemate is allowed to.

On Day 10, Bigg Boss addressed housemates’ concerns about dwindling rations, announcing that weekly rations would be provided by evening, contingent on their participation in an entertainment task called the “The BB Show.” The show, hosted by Zeishan, featured performances by few housemates to secure rations. Neelam opened with a dance act, followed by Amaal performing a dislike song targeting two housemates he dislikes. Pranit performed a stand-up comedy roast focusing on five housemates he dislikes. Mridul, alongside Kunickaa as co-actor, presented a sketch based on one or two housemates he dislikes. Tanya delivered a talk on struggles, reflecting on her personal experiences with house and its current housemates. Awez closed the show with a dance performance. Later, Bigg Boss called Gaurav to the confession room to judge the performances based on criteria provided by Bigg Boss, with live footage broadcast to housemates in the living area, unbeknownst to Gaurav. Gaurav passed the performances of Amaal, Pranit, and Tanya, but failed Mridul and Kunickaa’s sketch. As a result, 10% of the weekly ration was cut, and the housemates received 90% of the ration.
On Day 11, Bigg Boss introduced the “Dream Machine” task in the garden area, designed to grant captaincy contention in one attempt by activating a lever on the machine. However, following the rule of “one hand gives, one hand takes,” housemates had to accept a condition displayed on the machine’s digital screen to secure contention. All housemates, except Pranit (who was excluded from the captaincy race earlier that day), stood at a start line. At the sound of the machine’s start signal, housemates could accept the displayed condition and rush to a red circle, which granted the power to claim captaincy contention. The first housemate to reach the red circle would declare their desire for captaincy contention and accept the condition. Bigg Boss would then call them to activate the machine’s lever, sealing their captaincy contention. Pranit, as sanchalak, was tasked with determining which housemate reached the red circle first.
| Round | Winner | Condition | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Baseer | surrender two apples from the ration to Bigg Boss |  |
| 2 | Abhishek | seal off one bed in the house, preventing anyone from sleeping on it | |
| 3 | Nehal | no gym – close the gym for the entire season, prohibiting any housemate from using it or its equipment |  |
Nehal reached the red circle in the third round but declined the gym closure condition. Bigg Boss reprimanded her for misleading viewers by reaching the circle only to decline, canceled the third round, and terminated the task, stating more rounds were planned. Consequently, Baseer and Abhishek were declared captaincy contenders.
- On Day 9, the Flipkart Style Studio was opened in the garden area, offering housemates access to the latest and trendiest fashion from Flipkart. This week’s theme, streetwear, was unlocked, allowing housemates to choose stylish looks.
- On Day 13, Danube Properties, known for fully furnished designer homes, provided housemates with a luxurious hamper from Dubai containing chocolates.
- On Day 14, Flipkart announced the results of the Flipkart Fashion Icon contest, with contenders Tanya, Nehal, and Gaurav, chosen by audience and jury votes. Tanya was declared the winner, receiving Flipkart vouchers worth ₹2,50,000.
