Reported: Kanika's Captain Power Fires the First Shot

REPORTED — not yet shown on air. TellyChakkar reports that newly appointed captain Kanika Mann has received a special power to nominate one contestant directly for this week's elimination, and that she uses it on Mahhi Vij. The same power was previewed in the precap of the 1 November episode, as noted in JustShowBiz's written update. Until tonight's episode airs, treat this as a report, not an on-air result.

Mahhi Passes It On: Aamrapali Is Next

TellyChakkar reports the task then works as a chain reaction: Bigg Boss calls Mahhi and asks her to nominate another contestant, and Mahhi chooses Aamrapali Dubey. One nomination has now become two, and the chain is only just starting.

Aamrapali Names Arishfa

Aamrapali Dubey then passes the nomination on to Arishfa Khan, TellyChakkar reports — the third link in the chain. The same six-name chain list appears in the BBTak nomination update quoted in the IndiaForums discussion thread of 1 November, which matches TellyChakkar's account link for link.

Arishfa Names Scout

Arishfa Khan then nominates Scout, TellyChakkar reports. Scout — who has already survived several nomination weeks and was at the centre of the last two Weekend Ka Vaar episodes — is back in danger, this time through a chain he did not start.

Scout Names Uditi — Then the Chain Reaches Manish

Scout then selects Uditi Singh, TellyChakkar reports, and Uditi further nominates Manish Goel. No verified portrait of Uditi Singh was available for this story, so she is named here in the chain text rather than given a photo page. The chain now stands at six names.

Manish Stops the Chain

With the chain at Manish Goel, Bigg Boss gives him a crucial choice, TellyChakkar reports: continue the chain reaction or end it. Manish chooses to STOP it, preventing any further contestants from being added to the list. The task ends with six housemates nominated.

After the Task: Aamrapali and Arishfa Clash

TellyChakkar reports a heated aftermath: after Aamrapali nominates Arishfa, the two get into an ugly confrontation, with Arishfa making a sharp personal remark about Aamrapali during the exchange. This story does not repeat the remark itself; the report is that the nomination fallout turned personal, fast.
