Bigg Boss assigns the candidates a task where they must decide in pairs on a nomination for a horror film. In total, there will be two pairs—one for nominating candidates and one for choosing contestants. Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Tina Datta first propose the idea of Gautam Vig. Later nominees include Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Abdu Rozik, Tina Datta, and Soundarya Sharma.
Shalin Bhanot and Soundarya Sharma are tasked with making a choice after Sumbul Touqeer and Shiv Thakare are called for nomination. Shiv is being protected by Shalin, but Soundarya says she wants to save Sumbul. Shiv tries fruitlessly to incite a brawl over Fairplay. They choose Shiv because, according to Shalin, he has no other option. Shalin’s response deflates Sumbul’s spirits. She then confides in Priyanka that she doesn’t understand why he chose Shiv and nominated her.
Shalin invites Sumbul to speak, but she declines. As a result of Shalin’s persistence, they eventually have a discussion. She is questioned by Shalin about her actions with him. He is rebuffed by Sumbul, who asks, “Have you ever stood up for me? You hold a special place in my heart, which is why I am struggling so. I still came to you in spite of everything said about you.
“I don’t need you”, Shalin says. When Sumbul declines to continue the conversation, Shalin loses his cool and exclaims, “Abey yedi tumko samjh mein nahi aara kya?” This came as a shock to Sumbul who chose to ignore her father’s advice on staying away from shakin and continued supporting him inside the Big Boss house instead of being criticised by the housemates as well as her fans.
