Promoting Student of the Year: After Dark

The project they are promoting is Student of the Year: After Dark, a web series that premieres on 13 November on JioHotstar. NewsBytes reports it is directed by Reema Maya and has a darker tone than the Student of the Year films — and Shanaya Kapoor plays twins, Aayesha and Aditi Malik, in the series.

From the Stage, Not Inside the House

The guests will not enter the Bigg Boss house. NewsBytes reports that Karan and Shanaya will instead interact with the contestants from the stage, with playful banter expected between Karan and host Salman Khan — similar to their recent interaction on Koffee with Karan Season 9. TellyChakkar reports they will take part in fun segments and interact with the host and the contestants.

Salman Is Back to Grill the Housemates

Salman Khan is back on the Bigg Boss sets for this weekend's episode, and Deccan Chronicle reports he is set to grill the contestants. There is plenty for him to take up: Episode 62 alone had the Mahhi–Love kitchen row and the Love–Arishfa kesar fight, both covered in VisitBest's Episode 62 stories.

REPORTED: No Elimination This Diwali Weekend

REPORTED: Deccan Chronicle reports there will be no elimination this weekend because of the Diwali festival, with the makers planning Diwali celebrations for the contestants instead — and Siasat reported on 4 November that no eviction is expected this week for the same reason. But neither report is an official confirmation: Deccan Chronicle itself says to wait for confirmation from the makers.

What It Means for the Nominees

If the no-elimination report holds, the six housemates nominated this week — Mahhi Vij, Aamrapali Dubey, Arishfa Khan, ScoutOP, Uditi Singh and Manish Goel — would all stay on, with the nominations carrying into next week. The nominee list was verified earlier this week; whether the elimination is really skipped will only be clear when tonight's episode airs.

What Happens Next

The big question tonight is whether the reported no-elimination Diwali gift is real — and how Salman handles the week's rows. VisitBest's poll on the show is an Open Poll for audience sentiment only, not an official vote. Read the full contestants guide for every housemate's story.
