Arishfa Khan Is the New Captain — the Whole House Voted for Her

The Whole House Voted for Her

Bigg Boss gave Arishfa Khan a Diwali gift after she became the only housemate without a family message: a direct ticket to captaincy. Every housemate backed her — and she is officially the new captain of the house for the week.

2X Room or Door No. X

The choice was left to the housemates. Those who wanted Arishfa as captain had to choose the 2X Room; those against her had to pick Door No. X. Qazi, Kanika, Love, Mahhi, Uditi, Yung, Gullu, Aamrapali and Manish all chose the 2X Room — and the live-feed thread records Scout's support too, making the vote unanimous.

From Broken Cassette to Captain

Days earlier, Mahhi Vij had broken Arishfa's family-message cassette to protect her own lifeline, leaving Arishfa without a message from home. Now the house has rallied behind her — and at 23, the season's youngest contestant is its new captain.

Humanity Over Revenge

Before the captaincy was decided, Arishfa was given Aamrapali's family message to pass on — and she gave it to her, sacrificing her last lifeline. She said she had thought of breaking the cassette in revenge, but her mother had taught her never to take revenge.

Aamrapali Hears Her Family

Aamrapali thanked Arishfa as she heard her family's message, and the house applauded the gesture. It was the same kind of family moment Arishfa herself had been denied days earlier.
