Bigg Boss OTT written update August 24 2021: Akshara-Milind and Neha-Pratik are the new connections in the house

Muskaan, Millind and Shamita were seen cooking in the kitchen, while Nishant and Pratik were helping them after Divya and Akshara refused to cook. Moments later, in the garden area, Muskaan and Nishant started discussing the nomination strategies. The former said that they should nominate each other as the contestants get nominated in connections (pairs), while the latter urged her to pick Pratik as her connection.

Nishant also tried to resolve the differences between Muskaan and Pratik and told them to talk to each other but she indirectly refused to do so. On the other hand, Gaba and Bhasin were seen in a conversation about their earlier tiff. Milind said that both of them need to make their connection strong.

Akshara, Neha, Pratik, Millind and Nishant were seen taking part in a friendly but a little aggressive mock trial among their group, about who’s manipulating whose connection. 

In the afternoon, Muskaan finally went to meet Pratik and said sorry to him for her rude tone while talking to him a day prior. In order to convince him to accept her apology, she affectionately kissed him on the cheek and left a lipstick mark on it. Akshara teased him further stating that he is looking ‘beautiful’ with the mark on his cheek.

In an afternoon sitting, Bigg Boss reminded all the contestants that the theme of Bigg Boss OTT is #stayconnected, which is really crucial and they must have got it now. Moments later, it was announced that now all the connections have been dissolved and now everyone is free to choose a new partner as a connection in the house and informed them that it’s going to take place like a task, where boys will sit in different chairs in the garden area and the girls will sit in front of them on a bench. One girl will offer a heart-shaped card to the boy she chooses. The boy can accept or reject the card and explain his decision as well.

Shamita, Muskaan and Akshara’s cards were accepted by their earlier connections - Raqesh, Nishant and Pratik respectively. The latter accepted the card with a little drama. After that Neha took her card but didn’t gave it to anybody and threw it in the bin and explained that at this point she doesn’t want to make a connection with anybody. Both the singers (former connections Milind and Neha) were seen in a tiff post that. After that, suddenly, Pratik felt that he doesn’t want to be with Akshara anymore and thus, threw the heart she gave him. Divya gave her heart to Zeeshan, her old connection, which was firmly accepted by him. Meanwhile, Akshara again gave her heart to Pratik and refused it again. Neha gave the card to Pratik, which he accepted and in the end, Akshara and Milind became new connections in the house. The former gave her heart to the latter and he accepted it after Neha and Pratik became the new connections.
