Week 18 in the Bigg Boss house started off with some lovely guests coming on the show. The cast and crew of Street Dancer 3D, including actors Shraddha Kapoor and Varun Dhawan, Raghav Juyal, Salman Yussuf Khan, and director Remo D'Souza, entered the Bigg Boss 13 house.
Salman Khan was in his element as he tried on a few dance steps with the Street Dancer 3D peeps! Everyone had quite a blast and the audience couldn't stop cheering Sallu on.
Then Varun, Shraddha and Remo entered the house to interact with the inmates and promote Street Dancer 3D. Varun and Shraddha greeted the contestants and Varun was all praise for Sidharth Shukla, who he worked with in his film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.
Varun also added that Sidharth used to be protective of him and Alia while shooting at crowded locations. Later, they gave a task to the contestants wherein they had to play musical chairs blindfolded while Varun and Shraddha kept moving the chairs around. Mahira Sharma won the task, fair and square.
At the end of the episode, it was announced that Shefali Jariwala, one of the strongest contestants on Bigg Boss 13, had been evicted.
This week, another shocking thing was exposed on the show. Bigg Boss revealed Vishal, Asim and Rashami's game plan to the rest of the contestants.
He announced that some of the contestants had broken the house rules and showed a clip of Rashami, Vishal and Asim discussing nominations.
Paras, Arti and Mahira are completely taken aback. While Paras gets furious and accuses Vishal, Arti calls Asim emotionless and someone who is just playing a game.
Later in the day, a nominations task is announced. A dome was set up in the garden area and on every buzzer, each contestant had to sit inside the dome and manually count 17 minutes. The ones whose count was accurate or close to the said number were declared safe from the nominations. Sidharth Shukla, Shehnaaz Gill, Arti Singh and Vishal Singh lost this task, with Vishal making a 'Vishal record' and counting almost 34 minutes!
Much to everyone's delight, a Connections Week was introduced inside the Bigg Boss 13 house. It was announced that contestants' relatives and friends will help them in the weekly task in the Connections Week, making the season all the more exciting! Vikas Gupta entered the house as Sidharth's support and connection.
OMG girl Devoleena Bhattacharjee returned to the house as close friend Rashami Desai's connection. It was nice to watch Devo reconnecting with Rashami and Sidharth, and the three indulge in some fun banter.
Asim's beloved, Himanshi Khurana, too, entered the house as his connection, and to her surprise, Asim went down on one knee to propose to her. Himanshi, however, neither accepted nor rejected his proposal. She instead told him that she needed time and that they would sort it all out outside the Bigg Boss house.
Bigg Boss season 1 contestant Kashmera Shah came back to the house as Arti Singh's connection. In a shocking turn of events, Kashmera called Shehnaaz fake and said that #SidNaaz was finished outside. She also said that #FakeNaaz was the new thing, as was #SidArti.
More and more friends and relatives and ex-Bigg Boss contestants kept pouring in to support their respective inmates. Shefali Jariwala came in for Paras, Shehnaaz' brother Shehbaaz also entered, while Vishal's brother came in for him.
Shehbaaz Gill, Shehnaaz' brother, brought along a cake for her as it was her birthday. Shehbaaz nominated Sidharth Shukla to become the next captain because he felt it was only Shukla who supported and took care of his sister.
Vishal Singh's brother Kunal was the final connection to enter the house. The two shared a joyful hug as Kunal got emotional seeing his brother. Kunal warned Vishal to be careful of Mahira who he felt was out to get him.
Shefali was welcomed back into the house with open arms by Mahira and Sidharth, while Shehnaaz wasn't too pleased with her reentry. As Sidharth and Shefali shared a warm hug, Shehnaaz looked bothered and started an argument with Sidharth once again.
Later, a task was announced wherein the contestants had to recreate popular dialogues of their co-contestants and capture it in the form of a video with a Vivo phone. Mahira and Paras enacted Sidharth and Shehnaaz' conversation, while Shehnaaz and Vishal took a dig at Mahira and Paras.
Rashami and Sidharth recreated Madhurima and Vishal's iconic frying pan moment while Shehnaaz gave Arti's independent game a flirty new twist.
This week, we also saw Asim and Himanshi catching up after a long time. There was a lot of romance and sweet talk that has left us wondering if the two will finally be together once Asim comes out of the house.
Bigg Boss announced an exciting captaincy task titled 'Noton Ki Baarish'. The entire house was converted into a note printing factory and a wall divided it into two halves. While the contestants were workers of the factory printing the currency, the connections had to secure the notes and put it safely in the Tijori assigned to them.
As usual, mastermind Vikas Gupta turned the entire game around towards the end of the first round. Vikas was then accused of cheating and upset with the allegation, Sidharth asked Bigg Boss to eliminate him from the task if Vikas' actions were unfair.
While Asim is head over heels in love with Himanshi, she appears to be a bit reluctant to confess her love for him. Rashami and Vikas noticed this and confronted Himanshi. They asked her to be clear with her thoughts and have a conversation with Asim.
Later, during the tijori task, a fight broke out between Mahira and Vishal's brother, Kunal. Vishal confronted Mahira and warned her not to misbehave with Kunal. Irritated by this, Mahira provoked Vishal when Kunal made a comment directed at Mahira's father.
The task then took an ugly turn when Himanshi Khurana got injured and fell unconscious. The housemates started panicking as someone said that Himashi wasn't breathing, and Asim picked her up and rushed off to take care of her.
