Production

House theme

The house theme mainly focuses on aesthetics to adapt to the underlying premiere twist for the ninth season which revolves around the housemates entering the house in pairs rather than as individual housemates.[5] The house sections are replicated to depict places in history and around the globe. The exterior of the house is crafted to recreate the Garden of Eden.[6] [7] It features a fortune teller machine and a wide canopy. The kitchen contains most of its sculptural and art pieces from the architecture of Santorini while the bathroom area follows a glitzy Las Vegas theme.[8] The bathroom walls are lined with mirrors and most of the furniture is crimson. The bedroom contains all double bed and the confession room is situated between the kitchen and the living area as with every series since 2011, featuring a royal themed chair.[9] The housemate wall has been installed for the first time in house with the LED screens to keep track of housemates' status.

    Housemates entered the house in seven pairs. Each pair nominated another pair with consensus when called into the confession room. Vote against a pair added one vote against each individual in the respective pair. Housemates therefore faced eviction individually.

    Pairings were revised prior to this week's nominations.

Each of those pairs had to then decide among themselves which one of them would voluntarily put themselves up for eviction saving the other. Vikas and Yuvika were saved as they were the first house captains of the season.

    After being nominated as the worst performers for the 'Lagaan' task, Keith and Mandana were nominated for eviction for week 3.

It was told to the housemates that she is not evicted and to make her angry all have to say bad things behind her back so she can nominate two housemates but in reality the two will be saved while the rest will be nominated for eviction. After re-entery Mandana saved Prince and Rochelle.

    Keith re-entered the house on day 48 as a surprise birthday present for Rochelle.

    Priya won the immunity task as was the new captain for the next two weeks.

    Digangana was evicted after the housemates voted her out while Suyyash were saved.

    The week 10 nominations were carried forward for week 11 after there was no eviction.

    After the Double Trouble Room, All Housemates were nominated except for Kishwer, Priya and Rochelle.

    On Day 89, Kishwer left the house with the bag of money which contained 15 Lakh whilst Prince won the Ticket To Finale task.
