Nomination notes
- ^1 : On Day 3, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process. However, Bigg Boss introduced a twist, which meant that only the nominations made by the Baaharwala, Sana S were accepted and finalized.
- ^2 : On Day 6, Bigg Boss instructed the Baaharwala, Sana S, to choose three housemates who would be exempt from the nomination process. The Bahaarwaala selected Armaan, Payal, and Chandrika, rendering them ineligible to vote in the upcoming eviction proceedings. Following this decision, each housemate was then required to nominate two other contestants for eviction.
- ^3 : On Day 6, Sana S was removed from her role as the Baaharwala, as discreetly announced by Bigg Boss.
- ^4 : On Day 9, Sai's wish to save Armaan and Deepak from nominations was granted. He was immuned from the nominations but he gave up his power of Baaharwala to save Sana S from nominations.
- ^5 : On Day 10, housemates were required to nominate in pairs with another housemate. They had the option of choosing between two other housemates, one whom they wanted to save and one whom they wanted to nominate for eviction. If the pair couldn't reach a mutual agreement on a decision, the pair itself would be nominated, and both of their options would be directly saved.
- ^6 : On Day 12, live voting was opened for three hours to determine the bottom two among the bottom three housemates. Once the voting period concluded, the Baaharwala, Lovekesh, made the final decision on whom to evict from the bottom two.
- ^7 : On Day 13, Bigg Boss granted the Baaharwala, Lovekesh, the right to allot a certain number of nomination rights to all the housemates, ranging from one to six. After receiving their respective nomination rights, the housemates proceeded to make their nominations.
- ^8 : On Day 16, Munisha Khatwani and Sana S were declared as the bottom two contestants. The housemates, excluding Munisha and Sana S, had to vote to evict one of them from the Bigg Boss house.
- ^9 : On Day 16, host Anil Kapoor announced the nomination of Armaan Malik for the remainder of the season as a consequence of his act of physical violence towards fellow housemate Vishal Pandey.
- ^10 : On Day 17, each housemate received two letters to write to two fellow housemates, granting them immunity from nominations.
- ^11 : On Day 19, Baaharwala, Lovekesh saved all nominated contestants by sacrificing half of the ration of that week.
- ^12 : On Day 19, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process.
- ^13 : On Day 24, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process.
- ^14 : On Day 25, Bigg Boss cancelled the nominations for that week and directly nominated Adnaan as a punishment for his lack of participation in the Baaharwala Gang's eviction decision, which involved choosing a housemate from the nominated contestants.
- ^15 : On Day 26, Bigg Boss gave power of nomination to Head of House Armaan where he could nominate four more housemates along with him and Adnaan who were nominated by Bigg Boss as punishment while Ranvir got nomination power by winning power of vetto where he could nominate one more housemate for eviction.
- ^16 : On Day 31, all housemates had to count 13 minutes in pair allocated by Bigg Boss. A pair who will be far from count of 13 minutes will be evicted directly.
- ^17 : On Day 33, Bigg Boss gave power of nomination to Head of House Ranvir where he could nominate three housemates as well as Bigg Boss asked Ranvir whether he wanted to save Armaan or not while Armaan would be replaced by other housemate.
- ^18 : On Day 34, Bigg Boss asked all housemates to nominate one nominated housemate in secret ballot who would be evicted in weekend.
- ^19 : On Day 38, two teams competed against each other comprising three housemates. At the end, whichever team loses task, it's all members will be nominated for eviction.
- ^20 : On Day 40, Bigg Boss asked each housemate to nominate one housemate from nominated category who should be evicted.
- ^21 : On Day 40, All housemates were nominated for winning the season.

Reception
[edit]The series premiere episode was reviewed by Grace Cyril for Times Now. She wrote, "Once a powerhouse of entertainment, this season seems to have started on dull note. The High-voltage drama fell flat largely, making it a snooze fest."[25]
Pratidin Time wrote, "While Kapoor exuded his signature suave charm, attempts to engage the audience fell short, perhaps due to peculiar editing choices that diluted the impact, evident in the disjointed laughter track. Even the introduction of the first contestant, the Vada Pav Girl, lacked the anticipated punch."[26]
