In a shocking twist, hours after the housemates eliminated Simba Nagpal from Bigg Boss 15, three more contestants were shown the door after a task conducted by Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiya. Early on in the show, it was announced that Bharti and Haarsh, who had to leave during a fun task a few days back, when things got out of hand inside the house, were back for a task, that would ultimately end in elimination.
The contestants were divided into the top 5 and bottom 5, with the bottom 5 contestants being tasked with trying to get reactions from the others, who were told to ignore them. Contestants were informed that the task will be judged by a live audience who would decide who is safe and who gets to go home.
While Umar Riaz and Rajiv Adatia seemingly were very involved in the task during the episode, Vishal Kotian, for the sake of the task, shaved off his beard and dressed up as a woman to get some response. While Neha Bhasin gave somewhat of a reserved performance, Jay Bhanushali, seemingly gave up midway and reserved himself to a corner of the Bigg Boss house.
Following the task, Bharti announced that not one but three contestants will be shown the door, stating, “Ye aapne jo entertain kiya hai, ye janta ka faisla hai. Jitne bhi mere dost hai, chahe woh Rajiv ho, Neha ho ya Jay bhai ho, ye janta ka faisla hai aapke performance ke upar. Aaj hum ek nahn, do nahin, teen logon ko leke jaa rahe hai ghar ke baahar. (This is the audience’s decision based on how you have entertainemd them. All my friends inside the house, be it Rajiv, Neha or Jay, the audience has decided who stays and who goes. Today, we will not eliminate one or two, but three contestants from the house).”
Subsequently, following the task, while the celebrity couple announced that Umar and Rajiv are safe with the higest audience votes, Jay Bhanushali, Neha Bhasin and Vishal Kotian are eliminated.
The audience were also given a glimpse of the wild cards entering the house, when Bigg Boss informed the contestants that there will be new entries inside the house.
