Salman Khan says goodbye to housemates. All the housemates think that there will be no elimination. Bigg Boss calls all contestants into the living room and tells them that there will be an elimination, which puts housemates into a shock. Bigg Boss says this week voting lines were closed, therefore housemates have to decide among themselves and take one name among Sreejita, Tina, Ankit, and Vikas for elimination. Bigg Boss says, since Sreejita and Vikas spent less time in the house compared to Tina and Ankit, housemates will take the name of one contestant for elimination based on his/her performance in last 24 hours.
All housemates except Priyanka and Sajid take Ankit's name for elimination. Bigg Boss announces Ankit's elimination and tells Ankit to come out of the house. Priyanka hugs him and cries inconsolably.
