After the roles are decided, Abhishek places the names of the housemates next to their assigned jobs on a board in the garden area. Then, the guests, who are the family members, enter the house. Once the guests' time is up, they give a star to a housemate who isn't their family member. At the end of the task, the two housemates with the most stars become candidates for the next week's Captaincy. !Housemate!Guest/Family Member!Star Given to Avinash Pooja Sachdev - Mother Pooja Manisha Manoj Kumar Chandi - Father Abhishek Abhishek Dimple Malian - Mother Elvish Jiya Surekha Gavli - Mother Pooja Pooja Mahesh Bhatt - Father Bebika Elvish Ram Avtar Yadav - Father Abhishek Bebika Shriram Dhurve - Father Pooja !Housemate!Total Stars Avinash 0 Manisha 0 Abhishek ⭐⭐ Jiya 0 Pooja ⭐⭐⭐ Elvish ⭐ Bebika ⭐

		Ration Task - Punishment ZoneA task consisting of three rounds was conducted in the garden area, where a punishment zone was set up. In each round, Bigg Boss announced certain criteria or characteristics of a housemate, and Abhishek was responsible for selecting a housemate who he thought best met the criteria. After that, Bigg Boss announced one of three punishments: 'Laundry Zone', 'Boot Polish', or 'Joker Zone'. The housemate picked by Abhishek had to complete the assigned punishment until Bigg Boss declared its end. The better Abhishek's selection was in choosing the housemate who fit the criteria, the better the ration they would receive. !Criteria!Housemate Chosen By Abhishek!Punishment!Status Who Played the Game the Worst Bebika Laundry Zone Completed Who Entered the House as a Star, But Now is Irrelevant Manisha Boot Polish Completed Who Gossips and Doesn't Voice Out Their Opinions Upfront Avinash and Jiya Jokers Zone Incomplete
