After Priyanka Jagga’s shocking exit from the house, Indiawale are now treading carefully. On day 8 the housemates wake up to the retro number Yaad Aa Raha Hai and a huge cutout of Jagga standing in the middle of the garden. It’s a surprise for them and us. Why do I have a feeling that she hasn’t really left the show and that all of this is just a trick? Indiawale throw rules out of the window and start discussing possible nominations. But Bigg Boss is quick enough to sentence a punishment. Guess what, Indiawale now become Sevaks and the celebs get to play the Maaliks of the house.
Just when everyone is mulling over this new development, Swamiji decides to barge into the serious conversation. Now he’s hardly easy to ignore. His continuous blabber ticks off Rahul, who asks him to leave. Swamiji takes offence and goes off cribbing about it to his teammates.
A little later, Manu and Lokesh find something new to argue about. This time, it’s chai. Manu orders Lokesh to make some for him, and Lokesh turns to Akansha for help. That’s enough to make Manu get all worked up. Arre chai hi toh hai yaar, koi bhi banaaye. If Akansha was okay with lending a hand, what’s your problem dude?
And in another far corner of the house, Karan is getting all worked up about Mona and Manu’s budding friendship/romance. He even tries to explain to Mona that Manu has an agenda behind being close to her. He even tells her to keep a safe distance from him. And what did Mona darling do? She went ahead and told Manu how the celebrity gang feels about their friendship. Manu of course told her to make up her own mind and not get played by her own team. Karan, don’t be a spoilt sport.
Yeh love story ke beech mein Swamiji ko rona kyun aaya? He’s apparently sobbing because he misses Priyanka. Lopa is too smart for his fake tears and calls him a magarmach. Later in the day, Bigg Boss announces nominations with a new twist. In an open nomination, celebrities and Indiawale have to nominate two members of the opposite team, that too by smearing foam on their faces. But it’s not that easy. they have to have a valid justification for it. This is a recipe for disaster. Manveer and Swami have a heated argument just after this. Do you also think that Swamiji is putting his own team in trouble by backstabbing them? What’s with Swami doing so much taandav today?
With tempers soaring and the competition getting tougher in the Bigg Boss house, let’s wait and see how long the celebrities can manage to keep their Maalik status.
