Nominations, troubles and friendships begin in the Bigg Boss house!

Early to bed, early to rise, makes the man healthy, wealthy and wise. Arvind Vegda is sacrificing his health, and wisdom for the sanity of the other housemates. Realising that his loud snores are disturbing the housemates’ peaceful sleep, he makes the decision of staying up all night to ensure that the rest of the house gets a good night’s sleep. Going to bed only after everyone is sound asleep, Arvind’s generous sacrifice got the empathy of the housemates. Making arrangements to ensure that he sleeps well, the housemates mutually agree that they will take turns to sleep next to his bed. As the clock strikes 8, the housemates are woken up to ‘Bachke Tu Rehna’ indicating that the days ahead are going to be tough from hereon. The housemates are seen discussing about delegation of work when the topic of Digangana and Roopal being inactive crops up. Digangana and Roopal take this comment to heart and go on a cleaning spree. The two are seen scrubbing each and every corner of the washroom and discussing how they are feeling left out while others are having a good time. Adding fuel to the fire, Ankit ends up taunting Roopal indirectly while speaking to Digangana. Roopal choses to avoid Ankit’s comments and continues with her job. Later, Bigg Boss announces the very first budget task of the season that revolves around phobias where one pair elected by Bigg Boss has to challenge another pair to perform the task. The first jodi to take the hit are Roopal and Digangana. Challenged by Prince and Rochelle, Roopal and Digangana face Omphalophobia (fear of belly buttons). The next couple to be challenged by Keith and Mandana are Ankit and Arvind who brave Globophobia (fear of balloons). The third phobia is Obesophobia (fear of becoming fat) and soldiers Yuvika and Vikas marched into the den after being challenged by Aman and Kishwer. Refusing to conquer Peladophobia (fear of becoming bald), Suyyash comes out of the activity room disheartened after Rimi refuses to t

The Navratri fervour is hitting the Bigg Boss hard and Arvind Vegda is only promoting his excitement surrounding his favourite festival. Smelling the coffee and waking up to a medley of songs Tattad Tattad and Bhai Bhai, Arvind is having Yuvika, Ankit and Prince on their feet playing garba to the wake-up call song. Further in the day, Prince is seen taking his game with Yuvika forward full throttle. Expressing to Yuvika how he gets negative vibes from Aman, Kishwer and Suyyash, Prince opens up to all in the house about his feelings for Yuvika. Taking a stand for Yuvika when she is getting brickbats for being klutzy with the paranthas, Prince Charming multi-tasks by also being her Knight in Shining Armour! On the other hand, Mandana’s mood is beginning to create quite a ruckus inside the house. In the morning, she is seen telling partner Keith how his girlfriend Rochelle needs to take a chill pill and that she is not here to break them up! She is also seen fuming at Aman when he is playfully stopping her from punching him. The phobia task continues, gathering momentum, even as Bigg Boss is upping the ante and announcing that the luxury budget will be delegated to the pair who wins the challenge. In a surprise turn of events boyfriend Suyyash along with Rimi is seen challenging girlfriend Kishwer and her partner Aman to the Melophobia(the fear of music) task. Playing the mouth organ inside a dead fish’s mouth, Kishwer and Aman are demonstrating how music can indeed be scary! Featuring in the hit list of the house, Kishwer and Aman are once again being challenged by Vikas and Yuvika for the Trichophobia(the fear of hair) task. Donning a shampooed hair mask on their face for a total of five minutes, the duo succeeds in completing this task too! A double whammy for the rest of the house – it is looking like double trouble is just sneakily hiding around a corner. The next challenge which is surrounding the fear of needles or Trypanophobia is given to Suyyash

Recapping the night’s episode, the inmates are trying to find some relief from Arvind and Vikas’s snores by sleeping next to them in turns. During this conversation, Mandana is adamant that she will not move her bed regardless of who is snoring and who is not. Adding that she is not a part of this discussion, she says that the other housemates can plan around this. Realising that the cause and effect relationship would put him and his partner in a lose-lose situation, Keith is taking Mandana aside to have a private word with her. Giving her logic behind why they should adjust, Keith tells her that Yuvika has had sleepless nights too and has not said a word against anyone. Convinced, Mandana tells Yuvika that she is now willing to adjust because she thinks Yuvika is a sweet girl. But trouble strikes Mandana and Keith’s partnership once again when Mandana refuses to exchange beds with Keith while Rochelle wants to sleep next to Keith. Mandana throws a fit and uses a condescending tone while speaking to Rochelle. All hell breaks loose when Rochelle losses her cool and gives it back to Mandana stating that she has all the right in the world to question her about her boyfriend. The situation further intensifies and turns into an ugly catfight between Mandana and Rochelle while Keith remains unaffected. Following a yelling match between Rochelle and Mandana, Rochelle breaks down and is seen sobbing in her boyfriend’s arms. Refusing to let go of him, Rochelle tells everyone that she needs some time alone with Keith to get over the situation. Setting the tone of the day, Bigg Boss Nau inmates are woken up to the song Kisme Kitna Hai Dum. Little do they know at this point that the day ahead would test all their patience levels in a way it never had before. Observing that her partner Aman can do a bunk when it comes to work, Kishwer playfully jokes around about how Aman smartly avoids doing the household chores. While on one hand this joke has a hidden message o

After the drama which brought the house down yesterday, the housemates are ensuring they spend quality time with each other during the day. During a conversation with the housemates, Prince reveals a peevish prank he played as a kid. As a ritual in the pre-monsoon season when Prince was setting fire to the dried up leaves, he saw that a long-haired woman was drying her hair and his evil mind lit her Rapunzel-like hair on fire. Laughing out loud at his little prank, the housemates are surprised at how Prince is wired. Bigg Boss proves that all good things comes to those who wait when he announces that on the account of being the best performer jodi and winning the captaincy task, Kishwer-Aman and Vikas–Yuvika will receive their bags back. Happy to receive his clothes back after a week, an overjoyed Vikas immediately changed into his own clothes. Feeling bad for her partner, Rochelle requests Bigg Boss to return Prince’s clothes since his performance during the luxury budget task was par excellence. The house is gradually turning into Yuvika’s pet peeve. Telling her housemates that the game has begun to get to her, she declares that she is missing her home and wants to go back. Further in the episode, we see how the contestants without bags are getting accustomed to living out of their partner’s bags. Roopal who especially requested for partner Digangana’s clothes back is having a heart to heart girl talk with Digangana about her past. She reveals that while she cannot trust ex-boyfriend Ankit anymore, she definitely still has a soft corner for him. This and other things – like the lack of caffeine in the house – are seriously testing Roopal’s patience and she is seen requesting Bigg Boss to give her some coffee – please! Gathering momentum, the Garba bug goes viral in the house when dancers enter the house to celebrate the festival and introduce the Snapdeal task. With a limited amount of time, the housemates are required to shop for necessary a

Isolations, fights and politics is one thing inside the Bigg Boss house, but then there is Love ka angle too that changes the whole game. While a few last, some also fail after a couple of touchy moments. Here, we already have two couples in the house, Kishwer Merchantt-Suyyash Rai and Rochelle Maria Rao-Keith Sequeira. Though they have been paired with different contestants, we do see brief moments of love flying coz of them. However, it now seems that a new couple is set to make a debut on the show soon. We all know that Prince Narula has a soft corner for Yuvika Chaudhary and he has revealed his feelings for her too. The Captain of the Bigg Boss 9 house has not given the green signal to Prince, but she is quite smitten too as she indulges in long conversations with the hunk. But the latest gossip will make your eyes pop out. No, they haven't become a couple but the duo are set to go on a date tonight after Alia Bhatt gives a stunning gift to Prince. Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will be on Bigg Boss 9 tonight to promote their upcoming film, Shaandaar. So the Shaandaar duo will enter the house, meet the contestants and also give out special gifts. The biggest gift will be to Prince Narula. Alia is fond of Prince and she will give him an opportunity to take a co-contestant on a date tonight. The venue will be the Sky Lounge which is a part of the Bigg Boss house. Will this change Yuvika and Prince's equation? If they become a couple, will they survive the test of time like Upen Patel and Karishma Tanna? Or will they go separate way post the show like Tanishaa Mukherjee and Armaan Kohli?

Welcoming his Prem Ratan Dhan Payo co-star Sonam Kapoor, superstar Salman Khan kick-started the Sunday episode. Elated to have Sonam on Bigg Boss Nau, Salman makes a grand entry with the lady by shaking a leg with her on the title track - Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. The duo then speak about their experience of shooting together for the film in Rajasthan and how Sonam had to battle swine flu. To Sonam’s surprise, Salman went on to say that Sonam sings that title song quite melodiously while she sings her favorite line from the song. Further Salman takes Sonam inside the house through ME TV to interact with the housemates. Being influenced strongly by Mandana’s accent, Salman Khan makes a grammatical error while interacting with Sonam Kapoor and blames the Iranian lass for his folly. When Salman asks Aman Verma who he believes will be eliminated from the house, Aman says he would not be surprised if Arvind-Ankit or Digangana-Roopal were evicted. Adding further, he says that it would be shocking if Vikas and Yuvika got eliminated! Playing a fun guessing game with the housemates, Salman Khan shows a volley of candid pictures of the inmates and asks them to guess what the person might be thinking at that moment. Showing them four pictures – Keith giving Mandana a massage while enjoying a pedicure from girlfriend Rochelle, Rochelle giving an almost cock-eyed expression, Rimi staring into nothingness, Ankit’s funny body language while talking and Digangana looking at her Rapunzel-like hair – Salman Khan enjoys getting the inmates’ perspective while leaving them in spits. Further, we also see Salman Khan playing an intense compatibility test with the inmates. Testing the compatibility of the contestants, Salman Khan has each pair write answers to his questions on 2 different white boards facing away from each other. During the Snapdeal call of the week, Keith is asked why he never took a stand for Rochelle when Mandana said that his girlfriend is not the brightest

Upset that ex-boyfriend Ankit Gera got evicted, Roopal Tyagi has an emotional outburst when Ankit bids goodbye to the Bigg Boss house. Guilty about nominating him for eviction, Roopal’s tears are being pacified by the housemates. While Digangana, Suyyash, Kishwer and Prince are telling Roopal that she can now be friends with Ankit outside the house, Roopal is unsure if they will even talk outside. Looking at Roopal’s condition, even Digangana and Kishwer cannot help themselves but shed a tear or two. Seeing that her emotions are playing havoc with her, Rochelle and Keith also try to make the damsel in distress feel better. On the other hand, Prince, Vikas and Yuvika feel bad for Arvind who is missing Ankit badly. They feel that Arvind is on the show to really live life and has a lot of dreams pinned on this show. Caught in a private conversation and comparing themselves to Suyyash and Kishwer, Keith and Rochelle speak about how they do not want anyone else to interfere in their issues. They say that if there ever is a problem, they will solve it then and there. Adding on, Rochelle says that her equation with Mandana has become better and they now understand each other well. Worried that her partnership with Rimi will have her evicted, Rochelle opens up to boyfriend Keith about her concern. Pacifying her, Keith says being nominated does not necessarily imply that she will be evicted and advices her to hold strong. Not wanting to call it a night, Roopal and Digangana discuss the next day’s nominations with each other after lights go out. According to them, Prince is playing a game and he cannot be trusted. On the flipside, they believe strongly that Aman is a really good guy who has been misjudged. Mandana, Keith and Rochelle are discussing how the Snapdeal call revolved around the trio and why everyone wants to make a big deal out of Mandana-Keith’s bond. Stating that she would not even care if Keith and Mandana are alone in the pool together, Rochelle r

As the contestants wake up to the famous Mitwa from the patriotism instilling movie Lagaan, the theme for the day is unknowingly set. The first conversation in the house revolves around heartbeats almost stopping when Prince declares that he would reclaim his bags for Rs. 30 Lakhs. Staying true to the theme of the song, Bigg Boss announces the Lagaan task. Appointing Aman and Kishwer as the zamindaars and Arvind Vegda as the supervisor of the task, the rest of the housemates are given the role of workers. All corners of the house barring the garden area are cordoned to the workers and zamindaars are given the duty of cutting tax every time a ‘worker’ contestant wishes to visit any of the obstructed areas. As per the task, the workers are required to ground flour in pairs and sell a packet full of flour to the zamindaars for a negotiable price. The winner is to be declared depending on which team has the most number of coins. The zamindaars are against the workers and can manipulate the ‘tax rate’ according to their whims and fancies. Realising that the task is in favour of the zamindaars, the worker contestants immediately put a strategy behind their game. The task sends the whole house into frenzy and changes equations across the house, creating rifts between partners and other housemates alike. While problems between Mandana and Keith surface in front of all housemates, new difficulties arise between Rochelle and Vikas. As a result of Vikas and Mandana are also seen at loggerheads for quite a few reasons. Rochelle and Mandana team up and claim that Vikas has a strong male ego while his partner Yuvika also bears the brunt of dehydration and faints. Later, Rochelle is seen telling Keith how she also wants to become the captain of the house but Rimi is going to be the antagonist in fulfilling her desire. Announcing that the housemates are breaking rules in the house, Bigg Boss pulls up captain jodi ‘Yuvikas’ for the housemates speaking English. Followi

At wee hour when the entire house is asleep, Suyyash and Prince are seen toiling at the Lagaan task to earn few extra brownie points. As people wake up to ‘Chakkar Ghumiyo’ they are dreading the thought of churning flour under the scorching sun. Meanwhile, determined at dutifully meting out his responsibility, Arvind tries to keep a watch but falls asleep on the park bench. Rimi declares that she wants to give up because she has lost the will power to push herself through the task while others are in agreement with her. Tired by the arduous Lagaan task, the contestants are coming up with innovative techniques to win the task and end their ordeal. Rochelle and Mandana are trying hard to sustenance and continue with the task. At the same time, they also discuss how Yuvika is wasting too much time while making paranthas. Bigg Boss has a conversation with Keith about their performance after which Keith comes up with an idea of stealing coins from the pot. While everyone is contemplating this thought, Suyyash decides to opt out as he cannot betray his zamindaar girlfriend Kishwer. Taking this thought forward, Mandana and Keith let go off all inhibitions and steal the coins. Claiming that they are helpless and ‘fugly’, Mandana is chanting the slogan ‘Zamindaar Murdabad, Fugly Log Zindabad’. She is also seen dancing with joy at the thought of winning against the zamindaars… or is it just the thought of seeing Kishwer in distress? At the same time, other contestants are guilty about stealing the coins from zamindaars as their conscience begins to prick them. As a team, the housemates arrive at a consensus of returning the coins to the zamindaars and also apologizing them. Mandana is evidently upset with this decision and insists on counting all the coins before returning them. Furthermore, the conversation takes a steep route and turns into a heated argument between Mandana and the other housemates. Furious and annoyed Mandana removes her belt and mike and

With the song Meri Marzi waking the house mates out of deep and much needed slumber, it set the mood to own their freedom in the house for the day. Taking the wake up song seriously, Yuvika asks Rimi if they should work at all. Lazily conversing, Rimi wonders out loud the consequences if Suyyash and Prince ever become captains. Pretending to check on Mandana who is asleep on the bed, Prince hugs Mandana – making her visibly uncomfortable. Throwing yet another decision-making exercise at the contestants, Bigg Boss asks the worker team to come to a consensus about one Jodi who was instrumental in their loss. At this point, a clear rift between the two trios – Mandana-Keith-Rochelle and Prince-Suyyash-Kishwer is conspicuous. Neither of the sides is willing to reveal the name of the worst performers. Majority of the house agrees that Keith and Mandana did not perform well blaming Mandana for having thrown her belt and mike aside. Rochelle immediately jumps to Keith and Mandana’s defence saying that Keith indeed did most of the work. This comment aggravates Prince and Suyyash and they begin justifying themselves, claiming that they did most of the work through the night. Blaming Rochelle and Rimi for having wasted two hours in getting ready during the course of the task, Suyyash points a finger at the duo. Rochelle, irritated with Vikas for having ignored her inputs during the task, also gets agitated. After the temperature of the house cools down, Kishwer is seen discussing with Suyyash and Prince that Rochelle’s over-protectiveness for Keith will backfire on her. Rimi separately explains to Rochelle the same logic outside. She suggests Rochelle to keep a cool mind and not hyperventilate when it comes to Keith because it could reflect badly on her. Later, Bigg Boss announces that since Aman and Kishwer have won the Lagaan task, they will now compete for captaincy. A game of tug-of-war will decide the captains. The housemates will be divided into Team Kishwe

Soon after Suyyash confronted Rimi and told her that she did a very wrong thing by not participating in the task and now everyone will bear the brunt for her actions. Further he decided to take a stern action against Rimi and punished her for her wrongdoings by taking away her mattress.
