After all the wrangling and mud-slinging on Saturday, 21 October - what with the accusations that the inmates levelled against each other, today, on Sunday 22 October the mood is heartening with a lot of affection in the air. The episode begins with. Salman Khan singing the acoustic version of the Selfish song from the movie Race 3. But in this reality show a song is never just a song. It’s a sign of the impending doom that could follow if the contestants don’t follow the selfish mantra and pull up their socks!
And of course, there’s the question of the eliminations!
Sreesanth and Romil Chaudhary take their animosity to the Sultani Akhada. They initially outwit each other with their words and later with a prop. Romil wins this match!
Popular news anchor Dibang hurls allegations against the contestants and the defendants try to prove him wrong. Manish Naggdev, Bhuvaneshvari Sreesanth and Shoaib Ibrahim defend their partners in the family katghara. Shoaib manages to defend Dipika. When Srishty is accused of being image conscious, her man Manish works hard to nullify the allegation but in the end gives in and accepts the idea!
But it’s Sreesanth's wife Bhuvaneshwari who emerges as the scene-stealer with her well-argued defences. Bhuvaneshwari says that if Sreesanth can spit on the ball before bowling which is considered as his bread and butter, it shouldn’t be a sacrilege for him to do so otherwise. Dibang and Salman are impressed by her contentions.
It’s an emotionally charged episode as Salman Khan shares the heartrending story of his pet’s death and even showcases a video to commemorate him.
And here’s the moment of truth - Saurabh Patel gets evicted!
