With few days remaining for the finale, Akash Dadlani decided to patch up with friend-turned-foe Shilpa Shinde. He went up to her and apologised to the Bhabhi Ji actress saying he tends to become selfish because of his competitive nature but now he couldn't stand the fact that the two are not seeing eye-to-eye. Shilpa hugged and forgave him but sadly their revived friendship not even lasted for a day.
Vikas and Hina were seen joking about the fact that they earned Rs 50 lakh prize money for Shilpa Shinde, since she's going to win the show. A new day started and Akash tried to forcibly hug Shilpa Shinde despite her reservations. She later told Puneesh to ask Akash to stay away from her. She then went on to narrate what happened and the housemates have divided opinion on the issue. Akash overheard what he said and told her that she could have said this to him and not to Puneesh and that she also hits him in the butt which is sexual harassment.
Vikas pointed at Luv's ballot box and told Puneesh that his votes looked way lesser compared to the others and the two decided to re-count the votes. When the two found that the total number of votes are just 293 instead of 393, they called Hina and Shilpa and went on to call Luv a liar.
Bigg Boss then announced the task of the day which required contestants to choose the meanest housemates amongst themselves and it was Akash Dadlani who got the 'honour'. A photo frame carrying his photo was then placed in the garden area. Soon, the house reverberated with the tune of Mere Rashke Qamar and Begum Arshi made her re-entry. Arshi told everyone that she had entered in the capacity of task moderator and that each one would have to do the task properly in order to get a special privilege.
Puneesh said that Bigg Boss had sent the right person in the house as Arshi is the meanest, to which Shilpa agreed.Bigg Boss then announced the task that gave housemates a chance to earn a cash prize for themselves.
The task required the housemates to prove themselves mean and the one who proves to be the meanest among all will get this opportunity to earn a cash prize. From time to time, a photo of each contestants will be delivered in the garden area and the housemates have to tell Arshi--who's sitting in the confession corner--how they plan to act mean to their co-contestants. Arshi would select the meanest suggestion and if the contestant is able to complete the challenge, he/she will earn a point. The first name that came out in the delivery box was Shilpa's.
Puneesh told Arshi that Shilpa had only two-three chappals and he would destroy it completely by cutting them. Vikas told Arshi that since Shilpa ate stale food, she had the problem of constipation and he planned to flush her potty powder. Hina suggested she would take away her socks. Akash suggested to throw away her Vicks. Arshi chose Puneesh's suggestion and he picked all the footwear of Shilpa and looked all set to cut it.
But Shilpa's requests and friendship stops him from doing the task and he fails to do it. Then comes mastermind Vikas' turn and Shilpa suggests to ruin 5 of his t-shirt or jackets by dipping them in paint.. Arshi chose Shilpa's suggestion and Vikas was left pleasing to her to not destroy his hoodie as it was a gift. Shilpa in the end gave up the task saying she couldn't be that mean. Vikas later laughed at her in front of Hina saying he said a lie and he didn't care if the hoodie existed or not.
