This pisses Pooja Bedi off and she washes the dishes by herself.Amar and Mandeep Bevli decide to lobby for votes to be nominated as the captain for the coming week. While pointing out why he is the better option, Amar makes an unsavory comment that does not sit well with Juhi. A big fight ensues which results in a yelling match between Juhi and Amar. The other contestants intervene and push the duo in two separate directions. After a lot of justification and name-calling, a frazzled Juhi breaks down and refuses to eat. Seeing this, Amar apologizes to Juhi which she reluctantly accepts. Directions for next week's captain nominations are given. After the elections are completed and a new captain is elected, ex-captain Shakti Kapoor is asked to move out of the Head of House Room. Mandeep makes the plea for a reluctant Shakti so that he might be allowed to continue to stay in the captain's room. But Amar and Lakshmi intervene and ask him to move out of the room as per the house rules and move to the spot that will be vacated by the new captain. Day 12 : After breakfast, Juhi Parmar is called into the confession room so that her role in the weekly task can be assessed. As she is stepping out, Bigg Boss announces that the group has been unsuccessful in completing the weekly task, as a result of which their luxury budget for the week stands cancelled. In the midst of this discussion, Raageshwari is called into the confession room and is assigned a secret task. Her task is to convince her fellow contestants that Mandeep is not the correct choice for captain of the house, and organize a re-election for the captain's position. Pooja Mishra blew her top over an innocuous inquiry by the housemate Shonali Nagrani. Pooja has found it difficult to fit inside the house from the start. Her tantrums and her evasion of duties have irked the housemates. Shonali inquired Pooja M. about her post-dinner clean-up duties by asking "Pooja what is this behaviour?", the latter flew into a fit of rage and yelled: "You do not tell me what to do!", later on threatening to hit Shonali because when she asks that whether Pooja will hit her then she replies "Do you want it?Because you're asking for it. You're dying for it!" And when another housemate, Vida Samadzai joined Nagrani, Missra smacked the broom on the floor, breaking its shaft. Upset over Pooja's temper, the housemates requested Bigg Boss to evict her from the house because of her inability to cope with any member of the house. However, Bigg Boss told the house mates not to tell him how to run the house as he is the leader of the house not them and warned the housemates not to question his judgements.

Shonali Nagrani interferes in this matter, leading to a huge fight between her and Mahek. Lakshmi Tripathi, Shonali and Juhi Parmar are surprised to see Mahek involving herself in every argument in the house. Juhi tries to calm Mahek down, but Mahek asks her to not interfere in her matters. Not knowing what to do, Juhi leaves the room. Mahek then approaches Juhi while she is sitting with Pooja Bedi, Shonali, Raageshwari Loomba and the other housemates and re-confronts her. At this, Juhi loses her cool and tells Mahek that she doesn't want to deal with her. Mahek and Juhi have a huge fight and the housemates break up. A fuming Mahek walks into the garden to cool down.

The other 12 contestants are divided into two groups of six each. Both groups are given two separate responsibilities and roles and they will be judged on their ability to maintain their roles. After two days of washing dishes without any relent, Bigg Boss finally announces that Pooja Misrra no longer needs to do it alone and this responsibility can now be shared by all the housemates. Pooja rejoices at this announcement while the rest of the housemates immediately start discussing how the responsibility will now need to be divided. The men finally take centre stage when Siddharth starts spreading rumours about Amar and angers him. A clueless Sidharth continues to talk ill about Amar even though concerned housemates warn him of an impending fight that is bound to ruin relations between the two. To end the matter, Siddharth and Amar pep themselves up for a fight, but they are clear that it will happen only after the weekly task is complete. Day 17 : The housemates wake up and continue with their weekly task of being parents and kids. The overgrown children are having a gala time, as they get to play all day and their parents pamper them while giving the kids everything they ask for. The parents, though a little annoyed, seem to be enjoying the roles assigned to them. Shakti Kapoor and Siddharth Bhardwaj contemplate about 'captain nominations' for the coming week. The duo analyses and evaluates every contestant to figure out who will be the best person for the role of captain. Siddharth is called into the confession room and asked to select two people out of which any one would be elected as captain for the following week. Though Siddharth doesn't reveal to the housemates why he had been called into the confession room, a nervous Mahek Chahel gives a hint to him about who should be nominated for the captain's position. Later, Siddharth is called back into the confession room to enumerate his final selection. Bigg Boss then reveals the names to the other contestants in the house and permits them to campaign and lobby for votes so that they are elected for the position. Meanwhile, Mandeep Bevli and Shakti discuss Siddharth's inclusion in Pooja Bedi's gang and how this will strengthen their group while exposing the others to elimination. Amar Upadhyay mocks Siddharth and his lack of tact and Mahek also expresses her views about the newcomer in the house. Amar is given a secret task until daybreak to convince seven members of the house to call a re-nomination for the post of captain and give their decision to Bigg Boss or convince Siddharth to change his decision in front of the camera. Amar puts in full effort to try to change the minds of the contestants who originally seemed satisfied with Siddharth's decision.Ending the captaincy discussion and ensuing tension, Bigg Boss adds a fun twist to the weekly task. 'The kids' of the house are allotted a task of organising a birthday party for Siddharth, whose nickname for the weekly task is Chinku. They are required to decorate the house, make personalised greeting cards, a birthday cake and provide entertainment for the entire group. Raageshwari Loomba, who has been renamed Doll for the weekly task, is asked to lead the preparations for the bachcha party. The 'parents' and 'kids' alike look at this as a chance to forget about their differences and have some fun. Day 18 : Most of the housemates voted for Shonali Nagrani and she has become the new captain of 'Bigg Boss' house. Then came the bouncer from Bigg Boss, Shonali can still be eliminated from the show. In case of her eviction, a new captain will be chosen. Pooja Bedi was later repenting her suggestion of voting for Shonali. At night, Bigg Boss decided to throw a pool party for housemates. As expected girls of Bigg Boss 5, took out their swimsuits for the fun pool bash. Pooja Bedi was the first one to jump inside the pool. Vida Samadzai, Shonali Nagrani, Mahek Chahal, Pooja Misrra and Shraddha Sharma were busy grooving to the beats and wooing the men around. Vida was seen getting a little too close with Siddharth Bhardwaj and Amar Upadhyay. Meanwhile, Mandeep told Amar that Shonali dances like her maid. Day 19: Taking his role as a kid very seriously, Sidharth starts the day by ordering 'mother' Mahek around. He asks her to bring him his cap and feed him. When Mahek tells him to get his cap himself, Sidharth turns around and announces to people in the house that his 'mom' is very short-tempered. This irritates Mahek, who bites her tongue and keeps herself from reacting to his statements. However, when Sidharth repeatedly calls her short-tempered and tries to order her around even more, Mahek finally loses her cool. She picks on everything that Sidharth has done to irritate her during his stay in the house, and asks him to stay away from her. Amar, having failed the secret task assigned to him, was given his punishment by Bigg Boss. Amar has been assigned to be a personal slave to fellow male contestants, Sidharth and Shakti, till further intimation. Amar seemed to be peeved at the idea of playing this role, especially because the duo has renamed him PK Lele for the duration of this punishment. Sidharth and Shakti, later discuss with the other housemates, about Amar's attempt to get them to change their minds about the captain nominations and how they didn't pay much heed to his requests at that time. Pooja Misrra and Vida have a conflict during their weekly activity cleaning the house; Vida then goes on to tell Pooja Misrra that she would prefer to not talk to her because she does not like Pooja's attitude. Pooja Misrra, unable to understand this issue, tries to argue with Vida and understand her point of view, but soon gives up and agrees to keep interaction with her to a minimum. Frustrated with the way Shakti and Sidharth are treating him, Amar informs Lakshmi that he is biding his time and will take revenge when the time is right. In fact, they even make Amar dance to Shakti's song Tunna Tunna to agitate him, but are unsuccessful at it because Amar takes it light-heartedly. At the end of the day, it is announced that the contestants have successfully completed their weekly task and were rewarded 1800 points to manage their weekly luxury budget. After dinner, a special Vodafone Facebook task is given to the contestants. The contestants live the life-sized version of the most popular functions of Facebook. The task was carried out in four stages and the winners of each task were given special prizes. While the contestants were enjoying the task at its onset, eventually the task saw an emotional outburst by Sidharth who revealed to his fellow contestants the details of his personal life including his estrangement from him family. He added that though he is proud of the progress he has made in his life, he still misses his family.

After breakfast, Pooja Bedi and Juhi Parmar discussed Raageshwari's eviction and how the increase in fights since her exit must be affecting her. Shraddha involved herself in the conversation and a few heated words were exchanged between Pooja Bedi and Shraddha. Bored with the negativity that 10 women and three men brought to the house, Vida Samadzai shared her disappointment with Bigg Boss and said she hoped more men entered the house soon so that the contestants could engage in something other than back-biting and hypocrisy. A task was announced in the house where contestants were given masks, capes and gloves and were asked to come up with a superhero name and a super power. Contestants were also asked to perform to a song where Lakshmi Tripathi was made choreographer. While the song was playing and the contestants were performing, Sky aka Akashdeep Saighal entered the house in a superhero costume. When Sky entered, he danced seductively with Lakshmi and she pulled off his mask. After everyone had greeted him, the song continued and Sky also continued to dance with Lakshmi. It seems that the newcomer got his first friend in the house. Lakshmi took Sky into a room and made him aware about the catfights going on in the house and warned him to stay away from the controversies. Sky, in turn, told her about what is going on in the outside world. Another fight broke out between Pooja Bedi and Shraddha when the latter called her aunty. Pooja Bedi asked Shakti to support her on this but he completely ignored her which caused her to lose her temper and share her woes with Amar Upadhyay. Shakti had decided not to talk to any woman in the house therefore he didn't reply to Pooja Bedi but Pooja Bedi believes that Shakti doesn't respect her and their 22-year-old friendship. Shonali Nagrani tried to calm Pooja Bedi down but she yelled at her too and tried to portray Shakti negatively. Day 25: The day started with Siddhart flirting with Shonali. Shonali was missing her family and got very sentimental, Siddhath saw her upset & lent his shoulder. He tried to make Shonali laugh by passing some silly jokes. Lakshmi observing this called Siddharth and teased him. Followed by this, contestants received Diwali gifts from their loved ones. These gifts were specially delivered inside the house to lighten the overall tense atmosphere. Everyone, except Pooja Misrra, became really emotional upon seeing their gifts. Pooja Misrra seemed uninterested in the gifts sent to her by her friends. Adding to the joyous feeling in the house, captaincy nominations were held. Contestants were asked to choose between renominating Shonali as the captain or electing a new captain. The poll was completed a new captain for an upcoming week was finalized. Pooja Bedi and Mahek were upset about who was chosen the captain for the coming week. The duo was also stunned at Lakshmi's votes and confronted her about it. For the coming week, Shraddha and Siddharth were given the task of dish washing and the cooking team, consisting of Juhi and Pooja Bedi, expressed dissatisfaction with their work. Juhi was disappointed with Shraddha's work because she felt Shraddha was not doing a good job at cleaning the dishes and they were still dirty. Juhi then asked the captain to take the issue up with dishwashing team and ensure they did their job well. Irritated about the way she was being treated, Shraddha approached everyone in the house at different times and spoke ill about Pooja Bedi. In the evening, the housemates were provided a few items along with the idol of Goddess Lakshmi in order to conduct a small Lakshmi Puja to celebrate Diwali. All the housemates were overjoyed at this and begun preparations for a Puja. Soon after the puja, a task was announced for the contestants. For the task, they had to give their opinions about who was the best and most efficient person in the house. To add to the Diwali celebrations, Bigg Boss sent in a special big dark chocolate cake and many fireworks. Contestants lit the fireworks and celebrated diwali by wishing their families, friends and Bigg Boss. They thanked Bigg Boss for making them feel special while they were spending time away from family. Day 26: The day starts with yet another fight as Pooja Misrra and Vida Samadzai get into an argument over a waist band which is supposedly Vida's. Vida claims that it had fallen down a couple of days back which Pooja Misrra had picked up conveniently and kept it with her. This really upsets Vida and she goes and talks to Mahek about it. Lakshmi Tripathi, Amar and Siddharth discuss Pooja Misrra and her psychotic behaviour in the house. They feel that fighting with people is like an addiction for her, and that she literally cannot survive without arguing with someone or the other. They come to an agreement that something needs to be done as she is crossing all limits and being a burden instead of a buddy to everyone. Pooja M. joins the party at the dining table and taunts Amar for a statement he had made. Amar taunts her back. Lakshmi intervenes and cracks a few jokes about Pooja Misra. Shraddha Sharma and Siddharth are washing the dishes as Sky walks in and offers to help. Shradhha gives him her job and walks away coolly.

	Happenings	Day 29: Akashdeep kept on trying to take up a fight with Pooja Misrra. He even challenged Misrra by saying, "Just wait and watch you will be soon eliminated from Bigg Boss." However, Misrra didn't fight back with Akash. During a conversation, Amar Upadhyay said Mandeep Bevli is the smartest player in the house and will make it to the end. Pooja Bedi added, "Even I feel the same. We totally forget her at the time of nominations." Obviously, all this was communicated to Mandeep by different sources and there was a huge drama around it. Mandeep even told Laxmi Narayan that her 'son' Amar plans to nominate her. Akashdeep aka Sky overreacted on this as well and made Amar apologize to everyone. Sky even suggested Amar to take his suggestions regarding nominations and not play dirty games. Repercussions of this entire spat were visible on the nomination process too. Amar Upadhyay, Mahek Chahal, Pooja Misrra and Mandeep Bevli have been nominated for eviction this week. After being saved by the audience several times, Mahek has become really confident now. After her name was announced she said, "Many housemates think that I am a strong player and they keep on nominating me. However, I will be saved again and this will be like a slap on their faces."[44] Day 30: The day starts on a slightly happy note for a change as Amar & Lakshmi patch up after their fight the previous night. The duo had fought mainly because both were blaming each other for playing a double game. After a while, Mahek is seen washing the dishes with Sky by her side. The topic of conversation was Shonali and Mahek was busy explaining to Sky as to how slyly Shonali has been trying to be in every single housemate's good books. Sometime later, Juhi & Vida are spending sometime on her bed. An emotionally drained Vida breaks down completely as Juhi sits by and consoles her. Vida expressed as to how much she misses her family & that the house's atmosphere is getting to her. An understanding Juhi hugs her and manages to calm her down. On the other side, Mandeep & Amar gang up & start bitching about Shonali & Pooja Bedi. Both start finding faults in them & come to an agreement that they will maintain safe distance from them in order to avoid fights & controversies. Then, Bigg Boss calls Sky to the confession room & hands him over a letter. Sky comes to the living area & reads out the letter to the rest of the housemates. The letter basically explains the weekly task which has been assigned to the housemates. The task is pretty demanding in terms of physical endurance. Shraddha & Pooja Misrra are seen cooking lunch in the kitchen. Shradhha takes the opportunity of being alone & starts bitching about Juhi to Pooja Misra. She begins to explain to Pooja that Juhi is the main threat for her & that she should be careful whenever she is around. She instigates Pooja by giving her some examples of Juhi's double game. Sky also warns Shraddha & asks he to stay away from Amar since he is very dangerous. In a while, Shraddha walks up to Amar and instigates Amar by saying that Sky is stealing away all the glory from him & he is becoming the popular one amongst the housemates. Day 31: Bigg Boss assigned Pooja Misrra the task of selecting two people as candidates for captainship. After much deliberation and discussion with other contestants, Pooja M. takes her name and shradhha's for the coming week will be elected. In the evening, an argument breaks out between Shraddha Sharma and Sky (Akashdeep). When Sky asks Shraddha who she would elect as the captain for the coming week, Shraddha tells him that her decision was only for Bigg Boss to know. This cheeky response irritates him because he feels he has asked a very simple question. Shraddha, however, ignores him and says that she was suffering from a stomach ache and doesn't want to talk about the captaincy nominations. Shraddha shares her conversation with Sky with the other housemates, who are impressed by her maturity in handling the situation without losing her cool. Post his argument with Shraddha, Sky approaches Amar with the same question. Amar, too, has no interest in disclosing his choice or continuing the conversation. Near dinner time, a huge misunderstanding takes place which adds to the troubled atmosphere prevalent inside the Bigg Boss 5 house. Mahek is talking about Sky's personality to the housemates, which he happens to overhear. He tries to confront Mahek and the fight takes a turn for the worse. An enraged Sky starts pulling out the skeletons from Mahek's closet and provokes her to fight with him. Mahek loses her cool and lashes out at him. However, after a while, she breaks down and everyone helps her to her bedroom. Realising his folly, Sky apologises to Mahek but Mahek she is in no mood to listen. As if the huge fight between Sky and Mahek was not enough, another misunderstanding takes place between Siddharth and Vida which leaves the housemates wondering whether fights would be the order of the day going forward. During the fights Amar hits Pooja M. with the gun provided by the Bigg boss because of the army task leaving her with a soaring scratch on her arm. Pooja confronts Amar about the pain giving rise to yet another fight. Day 32 : The day starts with Siddharth swimming in the pool early in the morning and Mahek passes by. An upset Mahek points a finger at Siddharth & tells him that for now he can get away with wearing bangles and stay out of the situation but she will soon get back to him and teach him a lesson as well. Siddharth tells her to bring it on and accuses her of being very unreasonable. The day has yet another fight with Siddharth bursting out at Vida as she had accused him of being immature. Vida had told him to stay away from her the previous night when Mahek was very emotional about her outburst with Sky. A stubborn Siddharth still went ahead and brought the topic of Vida accusing him of eating too much 'dal'. Vida shooed him away from the scene by telling him that her friend's emotions are more important rather than his stupid childish behavior. Sky explains to Shonali that she needs to stop mediating as that lands her in trouble without her noticing. In sometime, an agitated Mahek lashes out at Sky for the embarrassment that he had caused her last night. She is extremely furious and abuses and accuses him of being totally inhuman. She is very aggressive and warns him by saying that she will stay and ensure that she teaches him a lesson for his misbehavior. Sky fights back and accuses her further and calls her a dustbin and walks off the situation. After all the trauma, torture & chaos the housemates are left in a very vulnerable state. Shonali the ex captain of the house is found extremely confused & spaced out. She sits on the dining table with Sky, Mandeep etc. and bursts into tears as she is absolutely clueless about what is happening in the house and doubts everybody's intentions. A while later, Sky and Siddharth are sitting in the verandah and discussing the post effects of the fight. Sky expresses that he hates Lakshmi Tripathi. Sky tells Siddharth that Lakshmi is purely a two faced woman and she just pretends to be fair all the time to gain everyone's attention. She is actually a diplomatic person who contradicts herself by bitching about others all the time & supporting her friends even when they are wrong. Also, he accuses Amar of being a sissy and staying out of the entire scene. Looks like the men in the house are no lesser in gossiping amongst themselves.

	Happenings	Day 36: The day starts with Sky and Siddharth feeling bad about Mandeep's eviction. The boys and most of the girls in the house are seen upset post her exit. After sometime, Bigg Boss asks all the housemates to assemble in the living area for the weekly nominations. The nominations take place and four unexpected names crop up in the nominations. Then, Siddharth and Pooja Misrra gang up against Shraddha, who's the captain of the house. They lash out at her for being an unfair captain. Sky instigates Pooja Misrra to fight with Shonali and Vida, before it gets too late. He explains to her that if she doesn't fight with either of them, then her chances of elimination would increase. He is apparently plotting this plan to eventually blame Shraddha and get her into a vulnerable state. After a while, Pooja Misrra is seen going crazy and shouting her lungs out at Vida. She yells at her for not giving her equal opportunity to use the kitchen when required. The fight gets really ugly and the housemates have to intervene and stop the fight. The day ends with Sky expressing his happiness, as his plan succeeds to some extent. Day 37: The day started on a very positive note and everyone around was happy in the house on the eve of Eid. Sanjay Dutt sends special Eid greetings and sweets to the contestants and all the contestants are dressed up for this very special day. On the day of Eid, Vida wishes to be with her family and cries inconsolably throughout the day. All the contestants tried hard to stop her tears, but it seemed like nothing could stop them. Slowly as the day passes, Sky and Lakshmi had a small argument over playing unfair games and they soon patched up too. The day took another surprising turn when Mahek and Sky discussed the issues that had happened a week ago and promised each other to forget everything and patch up. A very hilarious weekly task is then assigned by Bigg Boss to the housemates. Shraddha being the captain of the house orders Pooja Misrra to do a particular task which flares Pooja Misrra up and in turn she retaliates and refuses to do the task. This results in a small tiff between the two. Day 38: Swami Agnivesh entered the house as a Houseguest.[46][47] The day started with the housemates waking up with the routine wake up track. In sometime, Pooja Misra is seen painting her T- shirt with her 'Kajal' & lipstick. She is seen in a very funny looking avatar which gets all the housemates amused. She also explains the reason behind her act. Amar and Vida are seen discussing Pooja Misrra's measure to attract attention. In a while, Bigg Boss calls Shraddha to the confession room and assigns her a secret task. Pooja Misrra who was upset with the captain initially in the day, walks into her room and clears her difference with Shraddha. Shraddha makes an effort to patch up with her and explains that she has no hard feelings for anyone. After sometime, the housemates finally experience yet another crazy fight. The fight was over a negligible issue but for Pooja it was a big deal and Laxmi blew it out of proportion. The fight was amusing for the rest of the housemates as this behavior was more or less a routine. Some peace was resolved as the housemates calm a furious Lakshmi down. Day 39: The housemate behaved well in Swami's presence, smiled a lot, forgot the differences among themselves, worked harder and tried to impress Swami with their behavior. The activity of searching Garnier products hidden in the pool area and climbing the pole to drop tubes was conducted in good spirit with Team Amar winning outright. They work without hesitation and do not yell. PB and Juhi look too delighted and willingly contribute extra bit on orders of Shraddha. Shonali remained stuck to Swami. Sidharth chose to wear Swami's clothes. He does not realize that behaviors and habits can't be changed by wearing clothes of saints. Swami's views about gender inequality were challenged by Laxmi who felt that the bias of all was towards the ladies and trans genders did not get due respect and attention. Pooja Misrra was encouraged by Swami when he told her that she was right in her beliefs. Swami was not true in his comments. He told Sky that he was right in what he did and must keep it up. This was like fuelling him further to light up the house with his temper. Siddharth was also appreciated for his behavior in the house.

	Happenings	Day 43: On the night of Day 42, Pooja Misrra locked herself up inside the bathroom for close to three hours. This stuns the entire house. Since Sky is the captain of the house, he takes up the responsibility of approaching Pooja Misrra and questioning her about her act. Pooja Misrra tells him to get lost. That night, the entire house goes to sleep fearful that Pooja Misrra has been possessed by a ghost. The next day, Pooja Bedi talks to Sky about Pooja Misrra. She tells him that Pooja Misrra is angry with him. Sky puts his ego aside and walks up to Pooja Misrra and tries to clarify their differences. A stubborn Pooja Misrra walks away and says that she is not interested in talking to him. After sometime, Pooja Misrra is seen speaking about how people in the house are hypnotising her and turning her innocent soul into a violent one to get everyone against her. She is also seen bitching about Sky to Pooja Bedi, saying that he is instigating her to fight with Shraddha Sharma and Vida Samadzai. Pooja Misrra explains to Amar Upadhyay that she was only doing pranayam (breathing exercises) in the loo, but everyone misunderstood her and thought she is practising black magic. Siddharth Bhardwaj tries to reason with Pooja Misrra about her behaviour, but he just ends up feeling so frustrated that he yells at her that he will make sure nobody in the house talks to her. Weekly nominations take place. Captain Sky's special nomination turns out to be a surprise nomination for the entire house. Post the nominations the non-nominated contestants are seen bonding with each other and celebrating their victory of relief for the week. After a while, Siddharth goes to the smoking room where he finds Pooja Misrra. He tries to enter the room but Pooja Misrra slams the door really hard on his face. Siddharth loses his temper and runs in to the house to tell everyone what happened. He warns everybody to stay away from him as he is going to get back at her. The two get into a very nasty fight, so much so that Siddharth almost kicks her. The housemates intervene and with great difficulty calm Siddharth down. Post this violent outburst, Pooja M. goes to her bed and starts meditating. Mahek comes to offer her support. She consoles Pooja M. by saying that she can understand what she is going through right now and just wants her to know that she will be there if she needs a person to talk to. After that, Vida informs the green room inhabitants that Pooja Misrra is changing her room. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. The day ends and all the housemates go to sleep but restless and tense. Day 44: It is a new morning and a fresh start in the Bigg Boss house and as the day begins, Pooja Misrra is seen starting on a new note about yesterday's fight. Pooja Misrra sits along with Pooja Bedi and vents out her anger about yesterday's fight with Sidharth. She points out how Sidharth misbehaved with her first and abused her family to which Pooja Bedi replied that it was partly Pooja Misrra's fault too that Sidharth's anger aggravated. As the day progresses, Bigg Boss announces a weekly task for which the entire house is seen working in unison. The contestants are then seen preparing for their weekly task and await further announcements from Bigg Boss to carry out the task. Pooja Bedi, Sky and Juhi are seen bonding with each other during the afternoon and talk of how the weekly task can be a great way of breaking Amar down. Shonali is seen upset ever since the nominations. She finds a consoling shoulder in Sidharth and tells him how Sky has been playing double and unfair games. She expresses her grief to Sidharth and soon Vida is seen joining the two and consoling Shonali. Shonali tells Sidharth that ever since day one, she knew what games Sky has been playing and that all her predictions for Sky have been coming true. Sidharth asks Shonali to go and talk to Sky about all of this. Sidharth asks Shonali not to feel so bad about the nominations. Shonali also confronts Sidharth and asks him, why he did not stop Sky from nominating for her name. Bigg Boss then gives out the Code of Conduct letter to the housemates re-iterating the rules of the house. The code of conduct letter is given to the house to tell the housemates that apart from these rules, they need to come up with 10 more rules which would be followed by the entire house. The entire house is seen enthusiastic about the task and everyone is seen working peacefully in their teams for the task. The entire house is in the task mode and are seen enjoying the task and are seen enjoying the team work. Pooja Misrra almost gets jailed as she defies a captain's rule made by Sky. Sky asks Pooja Misrra to go in the jail, but soon rethinks his decisions and thinks it would be best if he does not mess with her anymore. After dinner, Shonali is seen crying again over the nominations issue. She is still unable to digest the fact that Sky has nominated her name for next week's evictions. This shows that Shonali really wants to be a part of the Bigg Boss house and cannot see herself out of the house within a few weeks of coming in. Day 45: The day starts with the routine wake up song and all the housemates are up and awake. Pooja Misrra is picked on by Sky and Siddharth especially for consuming too many eggs on a regular basis. Sky being the house captain tells Pooja Misrra that if she doesn't stop this bad habit then he would send her to jail. An angry Pooja Misrra retaliates by announcing to the rest of the housemates that she will be on 'maun vrath' the entire day in order to stop being everyone's target. Vida approaches Amar and tells him that she wants to clarify a few things regarding her nomination. While the both get into an intense conversation, the bad boys aka Siddharth and Sky interfere and start instigating Amar against Vida. The duo has some success as Vida gets a little emotional. Post their departure Amar manages to convince Vida a little bit. After sometime, Sky and Shonali are seen chilling in the captain's room and discussing the happenings of the house. While both are at it, Pooja Misra storms into the captain's room and barges into the restroom without his permission. An angry Sky comes out and tells the rest of the housemates that going into the captain's restroom without prior permission is against the Bigg Boss house rules. So he walks back into his room, enters the restroom and forcefully gets her out and tells her that her behavior is just not accepted. An angry Pooja Misrra walks out and complains to Amar that her elbow was hurt when Sky forcefully opened the door on her. Amar intervenes and tells her that she needs to take the captain's permission for using his loo. Pooja creates a big scene as usual and shouts out saying that she will make everyone suffer for this brutal behavior against her. An agitated Sky being the captain sends her to jail as a punishment for her obnoxious behavior. In a bit, Bigg Boss calls the phone assigned in the house for the "Rajneeti" task. Coincidentally Sky receives the phone call and figures that he needs to send one of his party members to the other party. In sometime, Pooja Misrra is released from the jail. The daily task is introduced in the house and all the housemates get excited to perform the task. Post the task, Siddharth and Mahek get into a very ugly fight. Mahek instigates Siddharth by saying a few nasty things about his family and that gets Siddharth extremely angry. The housemates intervene and calm things down. The day comes to an end as Sky and Pooja Bedi hug and make up with Pooja Misrra. The diplomatic duo seems to keep everyone in their control.

Both the men enter into an argument when Mahek comes and pulls Amar away and asks him not to stoop down to Sky's level and have an unnecessary argument with Sky. Juhi comments on this act of Mahek saying she is the one who is seen fighting and pouncing in the house half the times and she acting like a peace-maker now looks just so contradictory. In the evening we see beautiful Sunny entering the Bigg Boss house in a grand manner. She is seen dancing on a Bollywood number and is wearing a fine traditional Indian outfit. The housemates are extremely excited as they think she is their 'New Vida' and think her to be the perfect replacement for Vida. Sky does not miss his chance of luring Sunny to be a part of his room, when the entire house was still just trying to know her well. The housemates are seen quite happy with their new fellow contestant and are seen bonding with her really well. Early in the morning as the day begins, Sky and Shonali have a huge argument. Sky thinks that Shonali is upset with him as he had nominated her the previous week for evictions where as Shonali says that she has forgotten it all long back. Sky is generally irritated with Shonali and has been behaving upset ever since the 'Rajneeti' task ended. Sky does not leave a chance to mock at her and calls her dumb and keeps repeating that she has an image of changing her rooms and forgetting all the wrong that she has done in the past. Sunny tries interfering and stopping the two, but nothing works. Sky goes on to tell Shonali that she is doing nothing but aping Mahek. Shonali could not listen to all that Sky was saying about her and broke down. Amar, Mahek and Siddharth manage to console her and calm her down. As the day ends, we see Siddharth chatting with Pooja Misrra and Sunny and telling them how he does not like anything going wrong around him. While Sidharth is seen saying this outside, Sky bitches to Pooja Bedi and Juhi telling them that Siddharth has changed all of a sudden. When Juhi tells him that it's all because of the game, Sky says that it is not because of the game, but it is generally how Sidharth. He also tells them how Sidharth had made a plan against Juhi and Pooja Bedi and Sky was the one who stopped him and told him he does not want to listen to any of it.[51] Day 51: Housemates dance to the wake up song. However, things take a turn for the worse a little later. Amar Upadhyay is working out in the exercising area when Mahek Chahal, Sky and Juhi Parmar come there too. Sky starts taunting Amar by saying nasty things about his failed career before the show. Amar does not react. Sky then tells him that he will still continue to suffer once he gets out of Bigg Boss 5. Amar still does not react. Sky then mocks the way Mahek speaks. He then insinuates that Amar is having an affair with Shraddha Sharma. Amar finally loses his cool and yells that all the girls in the house are just his friends. Sky then announces that Amar is also seeing Vida as the two were very friendly. Later in the day, Sky, Siddharth Bhardwaj and Sunny Leone are seen hanging out near the bathroom area. Later in the day, Sky talks to Amar in the captain's room. Sky fakes an apology for his earlier behaviour and starts bitching about Siddharth to him. Sky goes on to call Siddharth's behavior childish and says his immaturity in dealing with girls is visible. Both Amar and Sky discuss how Siddharth has been switching his loyalties among different groups without realising its consequences. Meanwhile, Sunny, Juhi, Pooja Bedi and Siddharth are seen chilling in the garden area, discussing Sunny and her good looks. Juhi comments that Sunny is perfect for Bollywood as she has a charming face, she is cute and innocent and brings much-needed freshness with her. Everyone agrees with Juhi. Sunny smiles and explains that she would love to work in Bollywood, but she knows it is not easy. The others encourage her by saying that she will learn everything on the job and there is no need for her to worry. Sunny and Siddharth mop the floor. Bigg Boss announces the weekly task to the housemates. The housemates have a hearty laugh and move on. The day ends on a happy note, where Sunny is admired and complimented by Juhi and Sky for winning all their hearts. Sky assures her that none of them will vote for her nominations because she is really cute.[52] Day 53: Sunny is seen sitting with Pooja Bedi on the dining table. She brings up Kim Kardashian's topic and asks Pooja if she knows her real claim to fame. Pooja Bedi gives a witty smile as she responds by saying she knows what Sunny is talking about. Sunny slyly asks her if the Indian audience would accept such a celebrity who is also from an Indian origin. Pooja Bedi tells her that the Indian audience is very conservative and may not support such an act. On the other side Sky, Pooja Bedi and Pooja Misrra strike a conversation. Sky taunts Pooja Misrra by asking her to apologize for the mistakes she had made in the past. Pooja Misrra says she has already apologized whenever she needed to and tells Sky that even he needs to apologize for calling her a dumb woman etc. Pooja Bedi intervenes and tells both of them to calm down and say sorry to each other. The duos agree, say sorry and make up. Mahek is seen gossiping with Sunny in the pink room. Mahek makes Sunny understand that she is not like the others and doesn't feel the need to force her to get her vote for captaincy. She still requests Sunny to feel free and vote for her only if she feels Mahek deserves to be the captain. Meanwhile, in the green room a different game was being played where Siddharth was being assaulted by Sky, Pooja Bedi and Juhi Parmar. After the fight, the captain nominations take place. The new captain for the coming week is appointed. Sky taunts Mahek for being desperate to be captain. He also accuses her of going back on her word of appointing Pooja Misrra as the new captain and teases her by saying that her cruel intentions were caught by him. Mahek gets extremely pissed off and lashes out at Sky's demeaning words. Mahek then breaks down and ides herself in the bathroom. Juhi, Shonali & Amar go and console her. After things cool down a little, Sunny Leone performs a sensual pole dance for all the housemates on a nice and slow track. The housemates have a ball in watching Sunny perform at her best. Day 54: As soon as the day starts, Siddharth is seen cribbing about how he would not want to follow the orders of the new captain – Pooja Misrra. He tells her how he would not want to do the dishes and would instead take up the responsibility of making lunch with the help of another person. Pooja Misrra sorts this out with Amar and Pooja Bedi and asks Sidharth to cook lunch and not do the dishes instead. Pooja Bedi and Sunny are seen sitting in the garden together when Pooja Bedi asks Sunny to take care of Sky once she is out of the house. Sid and Sky end up having an argument and Sky tells Sidharth what a big 'Copy cat' he is. Sky taunts Sidharth again about the comments that Salman had made last weekend and tells him that how can he still be a part of the house even after so much humiliation. Seeing this Pooja Bedi walks inside the kitchen and asks Siddharth not to find reasons to fight with everyone early in the morning. As the day progresses, Sunny is called in the confession room to talk about her stay in the house. She breaks down while talking about her family and says that she misses them a lot. She says that the contestants inside the house are nothing more than just fellow contestants and that she is hiding her true identity because people around are too judgmental and that if she reveals anything about her life, they will immediately draw a negative image about her. Amar, Shonali, Sidharth and Mahek are seen sitting and imitating Sky, Juhi and Pooja Bedi. Amar and Sidharth imitate how Pooja Bedi advises Sky and Mahek imitates the animated conversation that Juhi and Pooja Bedi always have with each other.

The housemates start discussing the new nominee for captaincy. While the housemates are debating the same, Bigg Boss announces the new captain of the house according to his discretion. The housemates are a little shocked but accept it without arguing. Post the announcement, the weekly nominations take place where in Bigg Boss calls the captain first to directly nominate a candidate. After that Bigg Boss calls all the boys in the confession room and asks them to nominate two names for direct nomination. This creates confusion amongst the boys, as they find it hard to come to a common conclusion. Finally after a while, the three boys come to a conclusion and arrive at a decision. As usual post the nominations the housemates start the blame game and begin to justify reasons behind the nominations. The housemates keep arguing as they feel it was unfair on the boys to randomly nominate people based on their personal likes and dislikes. In sometime, after things cool down a little Sunny and Sky are seen discussing something rather personal. Sunny whispers to Sky and tells him that he is a really close friend of hers and she can't lie to him anymore. Shonali & Siddharth are then seen in the green room confronting each other. Siddharth blames Shonali for playing a very diplomatic double game with the housemates. He feels that Shonali is very good with twisting her words with time. Shonali retaliates by justifying that she expresses her feelings only to people she is comfortable with. The both argue for a while until Siddharth gets fed up of her nonsense and walks off. Day 58: The early morning song cheers up everyone in the house. Amar, Sidharth and Sky are seen sitting in the garden and talking when Sky starts pulling Sidharth's leg. He tells Sidharth that he saw Shraddha and Sidharth talk hand in hand and mock unnecessary fun at him. Sidharth retaliates saying it was nothing but a very friendly gesture from Shraddha's side and Sky should not unnecessarily make fun of it. Sidharth walks out of the conversation getting irritated since Sky begins to get personal. After Sidharth goes inside he talks to Shraddha and tells her what had just happened in the garden. He tells Shraddha that Sky is doing nothing but spoiling his image. Mahek is also seen giving tips to Shraddha in a while and tells Shradhha that it is Juhi and Sky who are playing a double game. Seeing this Sky gets irritated with Sidharth and calls Sidharth an 'evil guy' and tells him that now even he will reveal what all Sidharth has spoken about other contestants in the house. Seeing the confusion, Juhi asks Shraddha to confront Sky and cool the matter down. When Shraddha talks to Sky, she understands that the actual was different from what was being portrayed and ends up getting confused and breaks down. Sky tells Shraddha that it was all nothing but a joke. After all the confusion, Shraddha lashes out at Sky and both end up having a huge argument to which the entire house becomes a witness. Sky is so agitated that he threatens to leave the home, to which Sunny adds saying it would not be difficult for Sky to leave the house, but his mother who is watching the show would want him to stay back and fight for his right. Juhi tries calming both down but nothing works. As the day progresses, the entire house is seen upset with all that had happened in the morning. But of all, Sky seemed the most irritated and refuses to do any task. This is when Mahek approaches him to cook dinner and when he refuses, Mahek asks him to cook his own food and eat if he wants to. He asks Mahek to get out of the room which irritates Mahek and she lashes out on him. He disgusts Mahek by calling her names and calling her a loser. To this Sunny says that she can't help smiling and laughing at all these fights. As the day ends, Sunny is seen sitting in the garden with Juhi and Sky trying to tell them about her real identity, but they both refuse to listen and ask her to keep shut. They tell her that whatever she might be, she is their friend at the end of the day and that they love her no matter what. Day 60: The day begins with everyone in the house waking up in a jolly mood and dancing to the tunes of 'Jadu hai nasha hai' from the movie Jism. Sidharth's hunger strike continues as he does not eat anything and walks around the house in the same gloomy mood. He is called inside the confession room by Bigg Boss in a while and is asked to eat food and break his fast. He confesses to Bigg Boss about how he had felt bad about not being given a fair chance of sorting his fights out with the fellow contestants. Bigg Boss pacifies Sidharth by saying that there is no reason why Sidharth would be treated unequal in the house and that Bigg Boss had no intentions of making him feel so. Soon Sidharth's anger melts away and he breaks his fast by eating fruits. He goes out and talks to Sky about all that had happened in the confession room. As everyone in the house is preparing for lunch, Bigg Boss calls Sunny in the confession room and introduces her to Mahesh Bhatt who has come to the Bigg Boss house to talk to her about 'Jism 2'. Sunny takes Mahesh Bhatt out of the confession room into the house and Mahesh Bhatt meets the other contestants of the house. Mahesh Bhatt greets everyone in the house with a lot of warmth and gratitude and carries along a lot of energy inside the house. He starts conversing with everyone in the house and observes everyone's faces. He greets Sky in a manner that leaves Sky spell bound and joyous throughout the day. Soon Mahesh Bhatt leaves the house and the housemates discuss how it was great to have someone like him amidst them. As the day ends, Sky is seen in a very light and happy mood. He is seen chatting with Sidahrth in the evening talking about how that there are a lot of vibes in the house, but it all depends on them how they take it. In the night, he hugs Juhi, Sunny and Shonali and waves them a Good Night.

Early in the morning, Mahek tries stealing the locker keys, but due to Sidharth's tight security she fails at doing what she wants to and the two teams end up having an argument. While the two teams were busy arguing, Amar slyly steals the keys and goes to sleep. It is only after sunrise that Shonali and Sidharth realize that the keys have been missing. As the two report the incident to Juhi, Juhi gets agitated and argues over it with Amar, Sky and Mahek. She points a finger at Mahek and Sky saying they are not playing a fair game. Soon Sidharth is very happy since they get a letter from Bigg Boss stating that Amar should return the keys. Once they get the keys back, Sunny gets a heat stroke and starts feeling giddy. Soon Sunny gets out of the jail to sit in the shade for a while and while she's out, she winks at the prisoners inside so that they can utilize this as their chance and steal the keys. Sky makes use of the opportunity and runs to get the keys from the drawer when Shonali runs behind him and asks him to leave the keys. Soon there is a big ruckus created out of the key being stolen and the housemates enter into a huge argument. When the prisoners are asked about the keys, all of them refuse and say that they do not have the keys. In the entire ruckus, Sky throws the keys at Mahek and Juhi assures that Mahek has the keys but she cannot physically go and get the keys. Sunny is seen sitting near the water filter shivering due to her heat stroke when Juhi comes to her and tells her that her act of winking to the prisoners would turn out to be futile for her own self. Sunny replies back to this saying this is a game and that to make her team survive she needed to do it. And also assures Juhi that her heat stroke was not a part of the game plan but it was something really genuine. The day ends on a gloomy note where the all contestants are seen unhappy with the task and refuse to carry on with the task.[56] Day 67: Juhi & Mahek are seen in the kitchen area where Juhi is preparing some tea. Mahek tries to clear out the previous night's misunderstandings. Initially, Juhi refuses to talk but eventually they discuss as to how the situation in the house is changing steadily and people are becoming immune to any kind of emotional attachments and considering every little thing as a part of the game. Meanwhile, as Mahek and Juhi walk out to the activity area, Mahek slyly tries to steal the locker's keys from the jailers. Unfortunately she doesn't find it in the top drawer, much to Shonali's and Juhi's excitement! As they had intentionally hid it in the second drawer. Mahek laughs at herself and goes into the bathroom. In sometime, Bigg Boss sends out a letter for Juhi to read in front of all the housemates. The letter declared the completion of the weekly task. The jailers were extremely excited whereas the prisoners weren't too happy as the locker keys with the jailers. The housemates get involved with their day-to-day activities. While all are in the house, an announcement is made wherein a flight from Sydney has landed in the activity area. The housemates run to see the face of the latest entrant in the house. The flight opens up and Andrew Symonds walks out of the personal charter. The housemates welcome him with applause, hugs & handshakes. Siddharth of all the housemates is the most excited to see him. A sporting Andrew offers to help the housemates by willing to clean the carpet. The hulky cricketer volunteers to help and does clean the carpet in the verandah. Now that is something nobody in the house has ever done. Sky commented on this behavior by Andrew as he tells Sunny that all this attention he is enjoying would hardly last for than more a week. After sometime all the housemates clarify from Andrew if he was actually a contestant or a guest entry, to which he replies with much assurance. Bigg Boss then announces that he is sending Andrew a gift in the form of a translator. All the housemates get curious to know who or what the translator is. Their inquisitiveness is put to rest as they enter the storeroom to find a sealed wooden box. Amar & Sky open the box to see Pooja Misrra in the box. She was wearing a joker attire. The housemates literally take a step back, especially Siddharth who is astonished to see her. Everyone bursts into laughter and welcome Pooja Misrra back to the house with hugs and embraces.

The two hug and sort out their differences like mature adults. After that Sky and Juhi sit in the captain's room and chat. Sky here convinces Juhi that he did not mean to lie or cheat her at any point of time. He explains to her that it was all for the sake of winning the task. Juhi gets emotional and comments about how she gets affected emotionally only when Sky is in the picture, hearing which Sky apologizes and gives her a tight hug. The duo makes up and things are cool with them again. Little later Pooja Misrra, Sky, Amar & Juhi are hanging out in the captain's room. Here the housemates are all discussing about Pooja Misrra's image that has been created in the outside world. Pooja Misrra tells her side of the harsh reality that she faced after leaving the Bigg Boss house. She adds that, she is an unmarried girl and that is just too much to handle in a society like ours. She also went about how people were comparing her knack of violence with the likes of KRK. She also adds her bit on the embarrassment faced by her family and friends. In a while, the house phone rings, Siddharth is the first one to pick it up so Bigg Boss gives him a special task. After this the captain nomination takes place. A new captain is declared by an election. The daily task was introduced in the form of a small barbrque party organized by Bigg Boss in order to welcome Andrew Symonds and appreciate the completion of the Jail task successfully. Post the party, Mahek bitches about Juhi's self-obsessed nature and how she can stoop to any level in order to demean or degrade anyone.

Siddharth's mother was sitting in the living area of the house along with all the housemates. Sky was at the kitchen counter and he offers Siddharth's mom bread and butter, to which Siddharth's mom responds quite rudely by saying that she doesn't need any buttering and that Sky can come and sit with the rest of the others.

Juhi intervenes and tells both the boys to back off and stop fighting early in the morning. Sky tells Siddharth to back off and finally the duo are detached from each other as Shonali and Amar intervene and push them apart. After this fight, Sky and Amar unite and decide to discontinue the task assigned to them. They blame Siddharth for ruining their sleep and for being a bad captain and decide to boycott the task so that the captain realizes his mistake. Sunny who is the king's (Symonds) advisor informs the same to the king. Siddharth tries to convince Amar to help him with the task as he doesn't have any personal grudges with him. Amar denies his request and expresses his anger as he could sleep only for one hour due to the erratic fight late at night. The king then calls Amar and Sky in front of Sunny and asks them if they would continue the task assigned to them. Both the boys express that they would do all the household chores but not the task as they had decided to boycott the captain. Symonds is seen rehearsing for the task along with Siddharth, Juhi, Amar and Sky. Everyone teaches Symonds his dialogues so he can be prepared at the time of the task. Sunny is dressed as Mehbooba.

He says that he is playing games and is quite open about the fact. At the end of the day, Bigg Boss announces that the now since there are only 5 members in the house, the contestants can all stay together in the Pink room and the green Room will remain shut.

Sky did not like the way Amar stole his thunder last night and started performing on his song wearing Sky's clothes. Sky picked this up as an opportunity to pounce on Amar. Once Sky move out of scene, Amar and Sidharth get talking about how Sky has now overdone his stay in the house.

Sky, continuing with the humor plays around with Amar when the two are just chilling in the afternoon playing with the phones that have been given to them as props.

Once Amar enters, Sky points it out to the girls that Amar thinks of the girls in the house to be weaklings which Amar pounces back saying Sky is the one who has disrespected women the most on the show. Sky again invites Juhi and Sunny to comment on the topic and Juhi takes no time to jump into the argument and agree to the fact that Amar has been calling the women of the house as weaklings. Amar walks out of the scene and accuses Sky of creating unnecessary drama in the house. Sky laughs it off and pays no attention to what Amar has been saying. Sidharth tries to gain momentum in the fight and tries to talk to Amar about the issue, but Amar plays smart and does not open up much with him. The three boys are seen sitting outside and talking and Sky behaves as if he has forgotten everything. Seeing this Juhi says she can never understand Sky's behavior.

Sid tells Mahek that he feels ashamed of supporting Amar while all of this was going on. He says, that now when Sky is being sweet, it took no time for Amar to stop being with them and bitching about them to Sky.[62] Day 94: The day begins on a very competitive song of 'Muqqabla' as it is an indication for the housemates that the show is nearing its end and soon a winner will be announced. The house continues on the same note as last night's. The trio – Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay and Sky aka Akashdeep Saigal, continue to be irritated with Mahek Chahal and Siddharth Bhardwaj after all that had happened the day before. Sid continues to throw weight around and orders Juhi to get him tea and Amar to wash his cup to which both revolt and soon Sky joins them in too. Soon, Mahek and Sid head to their room and the trio follow them trying to listen to their conversation and taunt them. While Juhi, Amar and Sky taunt them, Sid maintains his stance of not getting into a fight unnecessarily with anyone around. The entire house remains silent for a while but very soon starts interacting and having fun with each other. They all imitate the evicted contestants and recall old memories of how each one would fight over something or the other. In the evening, Sid is seen apologising to Amar and Sky about all the wrongs he has done so far in the show. Amar reacts well and is warm and apologises back while he also taunts him saying Sid has actually hurt him a lot. When Sid approaches Sky, Sky is little cold but smiles and agrees to forget everything too. As time passes, Sky has an outburst where he thinks Sid did not respect him and vents it out first in front of Juhi and Amar and tells them that he will go and clear the same out. Juhi and Amar try to stop him and ask him not to unnecessarily approach Sid and elongate the drama, but he does not listen. Sky goes out and tells Sid how he was the one who saved Sid from kicking Pooja Mishra and getting out of the show for being violent. Sky tells him that if it wasn't for him, Sid would not have been a part of the show any more. Seeing all Sky's outburst, Juhi cribs about how she tried stopping him and tried talking to him but he just would not listen. The day ends on a very awkward note where all the housemates are seen not talking or interacting with each other and suddenly the lights go off.[63]

Controversies

• On Day 12, Pooja Misrra showed a clear sense of fury by kicking a dustbin and breaking kitchen stuff grabbing a lot of public attention. The alienated Pooja Misrra lost her temper on Shonali Nagrani. When Shonali provoked her further, asking, if she would "hit" her, Pooja hinted, she could get physical, if Shonali didn't behave herself. "Get off my back," an irritated Pooja screamed in rage; her blood boiling with anger. What people saw in a trailer of the reality show, was a visibly furious Pooja, who has been cornered by most contestants on the show right from the beginning. All her attempts to make peace with the Housemates have more or less backfired, with them playing games and politics with the troubled soul. "Standing at crossroads with growing impatience, Pooja has been trying her best to keep her cool. But the scheming Housemates are not letting her live in harmony, assuming she is hogging mileage and footage," says public relations expert Dale Bhagwagar, who is a specialist with Bigg Boss hype and hoopla. "Unluckily, for all Housemates, the public has realized that Pooja is a there to provide most entertainment to the audiences in the house. Though the Housemates have been trying their best to ignore her, she has emerged an uncanny favourite with the cameras and the audiences alike," he adds. Pooja M. being saved in consecutive eviction by the audience has further proved how much popular she's got among the couple of weeks. Not to mention Bigg Boss audience have a history of liking the candidate who cause most controversies and disturbance in the house. The incident has also become a huge social media meme as well [69]
• Siddharth Bhardwaj and Shonali Nagrani were seen romancing each other in the Bigg Boss 5 house. Episode aired on 26 October 2011 of Bigg Boss 5 caught Siddharth consoling and hugging Shonali and kissing her hand. Shonali, on her part seemed to reciprocate his affection. When celebrity publicist Dale Bhagwagar was asked if the two were doing it for publicity and to increase TRP, Dale said that all of the Bigg Boss 5 contestants are aware that they are wearing mics and are surrounded by cameras 24x7. Dale Bhagawar added, "They have all gone on the show with personal agendas and roles to portray. They have all gone on it to play and win." Media and the audiences also considered this to be a vague TRP stunt.[70] Later on the show, when Shonali was confronted by other housemates about romancing to Siddharth, she defended herself by saying that she thought that Sid flirts with most of the female housemates and she was just playing along.
• During the show, Contestant Vida Samadzai accused Pooja Misrra of stealing her waist band. Misrra vehemently denied the accusation saying she had picked up the ornament by mistake thinking it to be hers. Misrra said she owned a similar one but Vida refused to believe her. The conversation turned into an ugly spat with house captain Shonali Nagrani called in to intervene. Vida, also, accused Misrra of calling her a Whore which she assumed after unclearly hearing Pooja M. say To the core. Sanjay Dutt, on the eviction night, warned Vida not to make such vague assumptions and hurl pointless accusations on others.[71] After the incident Vida grew even more unpopular with the audience as media sidelined this issue boldly defending Pooja M. and calling her a victim of accusations inside the house.
• Pooja Misrra became the most discussed and debated inmate of Bigg Boss. With every week being nominated for eviction and getting saved by huge margin of votes, the viewers have utterly shown how much Pooja M. is being supported by them. When Pooja was reviewed by the media on her peculiar stance in the house and inside the hearts of the audience, the conclusion that she is most probably the biggest entertainer of the series came erupting as a definite answer. Audience found her comments and gestures during fights hilarious and determined. Her comments like "Rani Hijrawati" to Laxmi, "Mihir Virani Saas Bahu ka baap" to Amar, "Twinkle twinkle poetry" to Pooja B. and "Love me for this, for this, or for this" accompanied by hip postures became famous among viewers and the source of her fan following. During the first two weeks Pooja M. was considered to be a victim of accusations inside the house but with every passing week audiences seem to like Pooja M. for her distinct personality as well. Prior to the events inside the house involving Pooja M. being bullied by housemates, Pooja's retaliation towards these acts has compelled the audience to accept Pooja as their favorite housemate saving her in every eviction by a huge margin of votes. Audiences' support was also seen on Bigg Boss official website where followers "liked" Pooja's profile[72] using their Facebook accounts making her the hottest housemate and, hence, making her win the poll.[73]
• On Week 7's eviction night "Aapka Farmaan", Salman Khan strictly warned Siddharth for his shameful behavior with Mahek Chahal and Pooja Misrra. Salman Khan asked Siddharth to have control over his tongue and actions. Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt severely criticized Siddharth's foul language, character assassination and cheap actions behind Mahek and Pooja M. bringing him to tears. Even John Abraham asked Siddharth to take care of his behavior towards ladies inside the house. On hearing all these, Siddharth apologized and started crying on national television. Salman and Sanjay also questioned Akashdeep for not stopping Siddharth when he was displaying such disrespectful acts of manners.[74]
• On Day 55, Pooja Misrra exhibited an act of violence in retaliation towards Siddharth Bhardwaj's continuous instigation and protests against her regarding her becoming the new captain. After Midnight before going to bed Siddharth provoked Pooja M. to the limit that she pushed him with a slight shove. Following this, Siddharth went on in front of the cameras appealing to the Bigg Boss to eject Pooja otherwise he'll walk out of the competition by climbing the walls of the house. As a result, Bigg Boss ejected Pooja M. the very instance. After the news spread about Pooja's expulsion from the house before the show even aired within hours an immediate uproar from the audience came into existence. What Siddharth thought was a harmful physical assault, audience on the other hand, analyzed it as a mere push. Media and channel reporters gave their verdict on Bigg Boss being bias towards Pooja M. and accusing the show of deliberately getting rid of Pooja M. due to crew's favoritism towards the male contestants of the show. The disappointed audience began posting hate comments against the reality show claiming that they want Pooja M. back in the house with Siddharth evicted in place of her, otherwise, they'll boycott the show and raise protests against it. Viewers perception of the incident was sheer unfair judgement by the Bigg Boss accompanying the fact that they earlier witnessed similar injustice towards Pooja Misrra when Akashdeep Saighal breaking the captain's lounge bathroom door while Pooja Misrra was inside, when Amar scratched Pooja M.'s hand and she needed medical aid along with the display of ill-manners by Siddharth when he almost kicked Pooja M. while he was hurling improper names to her parents. Former contestants of this season of the show have expressed relief. Afghan beauty Vida Samadzai, who got evicted last week, says, "It is great. I am very happy that Pooja is out of the house. It was about time this happened. She is a mean person and a big drama queen." Samadzai however adds, "I hope she learns a lesson from this and becomes a better human being." Singer Raageshwari Loomba, who left the house a month earlier, says, "Though I don't follow the show anymore, I know there have been negative attacks on her. Her behaviour in the house may be because of the unnatural setting of the show that drives a person to the edge. I only hope this helps her positively."[75][76]
• Sunny Leone managed to created much hype with her Bigg Boss stint, but her presence in the show did not go down well with The Indian Artistes and Actors Forum (IAAF), reports Headlines Today. IAAF requested I&B Minister Ambika Soni to take action against Colors for indirectly encouraging and promoting pornography in India via the introduction of an adult entertainer, as per the channel. According to a report published in a daily, Sunny Leone has become the most searched adult celebrity on web and it's becoming difficult to keep the children away from accessing her explicit videos and pictures. "As far as this particular complaint... I haven't heard about it... Of course these complaints come up from time to time over content issues of different channels across the television," Ambika Soni told Headlines Today.[77] Apart from the accusations on her, Sunny became the most searched Indian celebrity on Google beating Bollywood sensations Katrina Kaif, Aishwariya Rai and Kareena Kapoor.[78][79][80]
• Many evicted housemates which include Pooja Bedi, Shraddha Sharma, Raageshwari, Shakti kapoor, Pooja Misrra and Vida Samadzai[81] accused Salman Khan for favoring housemate Mahek Chahal for being partial towards her. Their claims were later, rejected by the actor himself after Mahek got evicted on 11 December 2011, however, just two-week before the finale, Mahek was deliberately made win a wild card entry poll against Laxmi Narayan and Shonali Nagrani who clearly did not have as much of a fan following as her, merely fourteen days after her initial eviction, which indeed confirmed all the allegations against her being Salman Khan's favorite candidate.[82] This stint not only disappointed fans of the inmates inside the house who have been surviving evictions for many week but also certified partial judgments made towards specific housemates by the Bigg Boss.[83]
• Unlike the international versions of Big Brother, in Bigg Boss, the hosts are seen to be intimidating contestants on the show for their conduct and are often witnessed interfering in almost everything exhibiting a partial stance towards few. On the Opening of the season Salman and Sanjay ridiculed Shakti Kapoor after he entered the house saying, "Bigg Boss ko maanna padega! Shakti Kapoor jaise logon ko apne ghar bulaya, hum toh kabhi na bulayen!". Shakti was hurt by these remarks and demanded an apology from Salman, however, was never reached by either Khan or Dutt.[84] Later, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt also lashed out at Siddharth Bhardwaj for being too unmannerly with Mahek Chahal and Pooja Misrra and the same continued with other housemates few weeks later when Salman Khan went inside the house on 17 December 2011 and severely scolded contestants for their behaviour. Such traits showed by the hosts have yet been never witnessed on any international series of Big Brother. On 24 December 2011, Sanjay Dutt displayed infurious attitude towards Juhi Parmar, Akashdeep Saigal and Sunny Leone for bringing out a problem that concerned them regarding Amar Upadhyay's indecent moves on female housemates. Evicted housemate Pooja Bedi after watching the episode, in fury, claimed,"It's clear Salman went in there to demoralise, confuse, hurt and lie to Sky. Any guesses as to why he would misuse his position to do so? Salman previously had threatened Sid, and said, he would kick his arse. Hosts cannot intimidate contestants! Wrong. if contestants are bad, they get nominated and if public dislikes them, they get eliminated. That's reality TV, not hosts threatening, if Salman can get aggressive with contestants, why is he upset they do so with each other?"[85] The hosts are also seen to be very manipulative throughout the season. From altering the results to controlling appearances of celebrities, all was witnessed to be formatted by co-host Salman Khan. Due to the remarks made by Pooja Bedi on Salman's interference with the results and favoritism towards Mahek Chahal, Pooja was banned from attending the season finale to be held on 7 January 2012. The actress was humiliated on this last minute change and expressed, "So what if I disagree with a host and don't like a contestant! Is that reason for Channel not to have me at finale?" Pooja Bedi further stressed, "Have asked channel to state reason I cannot be there at finale to cheer my friends on! Also, till yesterday I was to do a medley! What changed?"[86][87] Bollywood Actor Hrithik Roshan was also refused entry in the finale. Hrithik was supposed to promote his upcoming release Agneepath on the grand finale of the TV show. Sanjay Dutt, the main villain of the film, being a part of the show should have helped the marketing initiative. However, Salman has put his foot down. Khan has now asked Imran Khan to promote Karan Johar's next production Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu on the grand finale.[88][89] Later, Pooja Misrra and Shakti Kapoor also fell targets. They also were banned from attending the finale because of speaking against Khan in the media.[84] Pooja Misrra was later asked to attend the finale.[89]
