Archana says that everyone made her bathroom really messy, and Bigg Boss corrects that it's not her own bathroom. The Bigg Boss asks why Archana always comes to the living room assembly last every time.

The Bigg Boss house court begins, and Ankit and Gori are declared judges, while Nimrit and Stan are lawyers. Gautam is the accuser, and Stan is his lawyer, while Nimrit will argue against Gautam.

The first accusation is that Gautam and Soundarya’s relationship is fake, and for the cameras only. Nimrit discusses her arguments with Shiv and Tina. Stan also discusses his arguments with Gautam and Sajid.

Bigg Boss scolds Soundarya for speaking in English and whispering to Gautam. She reveals that she had said ‘this is what they were playing for’ in relation to her eviction. Bigg Boss says that there will be no more vegan rations in the house, as punishment for Soundarya.

Shalin is the first witness, called by Nimrit. Stan calls Sajid, and asks why he thinks that Soundarya and Gautam’s love is true. Nimrit calls Shiv, who says that they had stayed together to prove people who called them fake, wrong. Stan calls Gautam next, who talks about how Shalin had initially suggested a ‘love angle’.
