Weekly summary

The main events in the Bigg Boss 18 house are summarised in the table below.

Week 1	Entrances	During the Grand Premiere, host Salman Khan welcomed new housemates and introduced them to audience. Chaahat, Shehzada, Avinash, Shilpa, Tajinder, Shrutika, Nyrraa, Chum, Karanveer, Rajat, Muskan, Arfeen, Sara, Eisha, Gunratan, Hema, Vivian and Alice entered house in order.
	Twists	On the Grand Premiere, Bigg Boss predicted that Chaahat would end up in jail, but she could change her fate by convincing two other housemates to take her place. If she failed, Chaahat would go to jail. After successfully convincing Tajinder and Hema, Chaahat avoided jail, while Tajinder and Hema were sent to jail until further orders from Bigg Boss.
		During the Grand Premiere, Bigg Boss also predicted that Vivian and Alice would be the top two contestants of the season, and that voting lines would only open for them if they both reach the finale.
		On Day 2, Bigg Boss presented two options to the jailed Tajinder and Hema: a) they could gain control over ration by remaining in jail until further orders from Bigg Boss, or b) they could be released from jail and become ordinary housemates like the others. Tajinder and Hema chose option a, allowing them to control the ration while in jail. Ration supplies were sent from the storeroom to the jail, where they would distribute it as they saw fit.
		On Day 4, Bigg Boss announced that jailmates Tajinder and Hema could be released if two other housemates took their place in jail. The first to go was Chaahat, who volunteered. Bigg Boss then asked all the housemates who supported the release of both Tajinder and Hema. Karanveer, Eisha and Avinash did not support their release. Consequently, Bigg Boss allowed them to choose another housemate to accompany Chaahat in jail. The three mutually decided on Gunratan, but he declined to go. As a result, since neither Chaahat nor Gunratan successfully went to jail, Tajinder and Hema remained incarcerated.
		On Day 5, Bigg Boss gave Tajinder and Hema the chance to be released from jail if they sacrificed all the rations currently present in the house, promising that they would be provided with basic rations daily. Tajinder and Hema both agreed to this arrangement and were released from jail, while all the rations were returned to Bigg Boss.
		During the grand premiere, a donkey named Gadhraj was sent into the house, where he was tied in the garden near the smoking area. On Day 7, host Salman Khan announced that his time in the house had come to an end.
	Nominations	Maut Ka Farmaan On Day 3, the nomination process took place in the garden area, where all housemates' photos were displayed on the Maut Ka Farmaan board. First, each housemate voiced the name of one contestant they wanted to nominate. After that, the archer would shoot an arrow at the photo of the nominated housemate. If that housemate received three or more nominations, they would be nominated for eviction; if they received less than three nominations, they would be safe. The archer had ten arrows, allowing housemates to nominate a maximum of ten contestants.
		Chaahat, Gunratan, Karanveer, Muskan, and Avinash were nominated for the first week’s weekend eviction process.
	Time God	None
	Tasks	On Day 1, Bigg Boss assigned a task to the housemates to earn rations. During this task, an hourglass was placed in the garden, where housemates in pairs needed to keep an eye on it while sitting on a horse. Each pair would first fill the sand kept near the hourglass up to the yellow line. They then needed to open a knob at the bottom to allow the sand to flow from the hourglass until it reached the red line mark. After that, the pair would stop the knob and hand it over to the next pair, who would repeat the same procedure. However, the housemates failed to comply with the rules. The first violation was by Shilpa, who fell asleep while watching the hourglass, and the second violation was Karanveer, who started the task alone instead of in a pair. As a result, Bigg Boss halted the task and announced that instead of 16 boxes of rations, he would only provide six boxes.
		Task cancelled
	Sponsored	On Day 7, Bellavita gifted perfume to the housemates.
	Exits	On Day 7, no eviction took place. However a donkey named Gadhraj who was introduced as contestant were taken out from the house.
Week 2	Twists	On Day 11, Following the hunger strike, Bigg Boss opened the confession room for the housemates and asked them to state one demand they wanted fulfilled to resolve their problems in the future. Later, Bigg Boss revealed that only Avinash, Shrutika, Tajinder, and Chum requested ration for all housemates. Bigg Boss announced he would provide the ration, but to receive it, the housemates needed to change one significant event from the past. The two events to consider were the release of Tajinder and Hema from jail and the absence of any eviction among the nominated housemates last week. Bigg Boss presented two options for the housemates to choose from: the first option involved selecting any two housemates to go to jail, and the second option was the eviction of one nominated housemate among Chaahat, Karanveer, Muskan, and Avinash. The housemates initially selected the first option but couldn't reach a decision. Eventually, they chose the second option, evicting Avinash by majority vote. Later, Bigg Boss announced that Avinash would exit the house, only to unveil a twist: he returned to jail with control of the house's ration, which Bigg Boss granted in exchange for making the decision.
	Nominations	Tandav Express On Day 10, Bigg Boss announced that, as the Time God, Arfeen was safe from nominations and asked him for two names he wanted to nominate. He named Tajinder and Muskan. Later, Bigg Boss revealed that there would be a task involving a station named Khatra Nagari, where a train named Tandav Express had arrived. Only passengers carrying food items could board this train to become safe from nominations. The last two housemates to enter the train or the two housemates who remained at the station after the train's departure would be nominated. The shopkeepers distributing food items to the housemates in the first round would be Tajinder and Muskan, as they were nominated by Arfeen. In the subsequent rounds, the two housemates who were nominated would become the shopkeepers.
		Muskan, Tajinder, Rajat, Chaahat, Avinash, Shrutika, Shilpa, Karanver, Hema, Alice were nominated for the second week’s weekend eviction process.
	Time God Task	On Day 9, Bigg Boss assigned a task in the activity area for all housemates to compete for the title of the house's first Time God, who would have the power to change decisions from the past, present, and future, as well as control over time in the house. This role was more significant than that of the captain, who merely received immunity and some rights. The task was conducted in two rounds. In the first round, out of 18 housemates, dolls representing nine housemates would be offered to the devil by any housemate. The housemates whose dolls were offered would be eliminated from the race to become the Time God. In the second round, dolls from the remaining nine housemates would be offered, with eight dolls being chosen by any housemate to be offered to the devil. The housemate whose doll was not offered would become the Time God. Arfeen's doll was safe, which allowed him to become the Time God.
	Time God	Arfeen
	Sponsored	On Day 12, Bellavita organized a task involving two teams, with Shilpa and Rajat serving as judges. The setting was an outdoor garden area featuring a stage where Team A would perform first. Their skit depicted Shrutika and Vivian as a couple taking a sweet box as a gift to a Diwali party. Karanveer played the role of a Bellavita salesman, attempting to persuade them to choose a Bellavita perfume box instead of the sweet box. Following Team A, Team B showcased their skit. In this performance, Alice and Eisha portrayed best friends who also planned to take a sweet box to the Diwali party, with Shehzada taking on the role of their salesman. Both teams’ salesmen incorporated Bellavita’s key attributes into their performances, highlighting points such as: “Bellavita perfumes are long-lasting because they contain oils imported from Europe,” “Over the past two years, more than 5 crore bottles of Bellavita perfumes have been sold,” and “With four distinct fragrances, Bellavita offers a unique alternative to traditional sweet gifts. That’s why we say, ‘Think Beyond Meetha, Gift Bellavita.’” After both teams performed, the judges evaluated their skits and decided on a winner. The victorious team received gift hampers filled with Bellavita perfumes. Since the housemates were together during this Diwali celebration, Bellavita also prepared gift hampers for their families outside. Ultimately, the judges declared Team A as the winners, awarding hampers to Shrutika, Vivian and Karanveer for their outstanding performance.
		On Day 13, Harpic India introduced a task featuring a mood-o-meter currently present in the house, which rates the mood after using the bathroom. Whenever a guest arrives, they will provide their mood rating on the Harpic mood-o-meter. If the bathroom is not clean, they will give a sad rating, while a clean bathroom will receive a happy rating. Red Harpic Bathroom Cleaner specializes in everyday bathroom cleaning. All housemates must clean the bathrooms with Red Harpic Bathroom Cleaner to keep everyone’s mood happy, as there will be surprises waiting during the weekend episodes. After this cleaning process, the mood-o-meter can be used, and if the bathrooms remain clean, the effects will be noticed during the weekend. All housemates then cleaned the bathrooms and basins with Red Harpic Bathroom Cleaner, eagerly awaiting the arrival of guests that weekend. During the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, Krushna Abhishek inspected the bathrooms. He was pleased with the cleaning efforts and gave happy ratings on the Harpic mood-o-meter.
		On Day 14, Macho conducted a poll to choose the Macho Toing Man of the Week among the male housemates. The results were announced, and Vivian Dsena was selected as the Toing Man of the Week. He received a gift hamper from Macho as a reward.
		On Day 14, Blue Heaven gifted their range of cosmetic products to the female housemates for always being ready and presentable in the house.
	Exits	On Day 10, Gunratan walked out of the house due to his court case, becoming the first housemate to exit.
		On Day 14, Hema was evicted after facing the public vote, becoming the second housemate to exit.
Week 3	Twists	On Day 18, Bigg Boss called Avinash and presented him with two choices: the first was to be released from jail and live as an ordinary housemate, while the second was to remain in jail but gain additional powers, including control over the household's rations. Avinash opted for the second choice, deciding to stay in jail with enhanced authority. Subsequently, Bigg Boss announced to all the housemates that the jail had now transformed into a powerhouse due to its new privileges. To assist Avinash, one more housemate would be sent to jail, and the others needed to vote for who that would be. By majority vote, they decided on Arfeen, who was promptly sent to join Avinash in jail. Shortly after this, Bigg Boss played an audio clip for all the housemates, revealing a past conversation in which Arfeen remarked that Sara did not deserve to be in the house. Bigg Boss emphasized that Arfeen, now holding power in jail, had significant influence over the dynamics within the house. As a consequence of his words, Sara was instructed to wear a "Expiring Soon" necklace that symbolized her impending eviction, which could happen within the next 24 hours. Later, Bigg Boss introduced a rankings task for the housemates, excluding those in jail, based on their contributions to the show. All housemates, except for Arfeen and Avinash, were required to rank themselves from 1 to 14, with 1 being the most valuable contributor and 14 the least. As the housemates struggled to reach a consensus on their rankings, Bigg Boss intervened by announcing that Arfeen and Avinash, would take over the responsibility of ranking their fellow housemates. Arfeen and Avinash announced the rankings for all housemates, placing them from 1 to 14. The rankings were determined as follows: Rajat, Vivian, Shilpa, Sara, Eisha, Shrutika, Alice, Karanveer, Chaahat, Shahzada, Chum, Nyrraa, Tajinder, and Muskan. As Tajinder and Muskan were at the bottom of the rankings, Bigg Boss informed them that their contributions to the show had been lacking. With the message that "time doesn’t wait for anyone," Tajinder and Muskan were given the Expiry Soon necklace, which they would wear alongside Sara. Additionally, they were warned that they were on a ticking time bomb; their time in the house was limited, and one of them would be evicted soon. Sara, Tajinder and Muskan were up for eviction as they had been given the Expiry Soon tag.
		On Day 20, housemates had to place a "Get Out" sticker on the face of one of their fellow housemates—Muskan, Sara, or Tajinder—who were wearing the "Expiry Soon" tag. The housemates had to vote for whom they believed should leave the house. Muskan received the highest votes, totaling 6, and was subsequently evicted. Tajinder received 4 votes, while Sara garnered 3, indicating that their fellow housemates also felt their time might be coming to an end. Additionally, Bigg Boss announced that Arfeen and Avinash would be released from jail, with Sara and Tajinder taking their place, thus gaining control over the house's ration supplies. Furthermore, Bigg Boss confirmed that the previous nominations for public voting remain valid, meaning one housemate—among Avinash, Rajat, Nyrraa, and Vivian—will face eviction based on the public vote this weekend.
	Nominations	On Day 17, Bigg Boss asked all housemates to name their favorite member in the house. The majority chose Shrutika as their favorite. Following this, Bigg Boss gathered all housemates in the activity area, where a lamp and a chair were set up for the genie. Since Shrutika was voted as the favorite, she was given the power to control nominations instead of the Time God, who wasn’t elected this week. Shrutika will distribute nomination rights to each housemate as follows: four housemates will receive no nomination rights, another four will get 1 nomination right, four will have 2 rights, and four will be granted 3 nomination rights. Each housemate will be called individually by Bigg Boss to approach the lamp and rub it. After doing so, the genie, represented by Shrutika, will inform them of the number of nomination rights they have received. Once notified, each housemate will stand under the light corresponding to their nomination rights and proceed to nominate the number of housemates allowed by their rights.
		Avinash, Nyrraa, Rajat, Muskan, Vivian were nominated for the third week’s weekend eviction process.
	Time God Task	Bigg Boss General Elections On Day 16, Bigg Boss summoned Rajat in confession room and presented him with two choices: he could either secure the contendership for the Time God for himself or give it to another housemate. Rajat opted to claim the contendership for himself, becoming the first contender for the Time God title. Later, Bigg Boss announced a formal election between the current Time God, Arfeen and Rajat, who was vying to become the future Time God. The election setup, complete with campaigning, would take place in the garden area. Rajat, as Contestant 1, was assigned the symbol of the sun, while Arfeen, as Contestant 2, would represent the moon. In the first phase, both contestants needed to promote their candidacies to the other housemates, explaining why they should be chosen as the Time God. Afterward, one housemate would endorse their preferred contender and also share their reasons. At the sound of the buzzer, the second phase commenced. Each housemate then entered the confession room individually to cast their vote in a ballot box. Once the election process concluded, Bigg Boss announced an unexpected twist: there was no definitive result, as both contenders received an equal number of votes—eight each. Consequently, there would be no Time God for the week.
	Time God	None
	Task	Welcome to Hell On Day 19, Bigg Boss offered all housemates a chance to earn rations for themselves. Hell was created in the garden area, overseen by its keepers, Arfeen and Avinash. Each housemate was required to sacrifice a personal belonging in the fire pit and, in exchange, they could request items from Arfeen and Avinash. The two would decide whether to grant any requests, and if so, to what extent; they also had the option to deny requests altogether. Housemates who chose not to sacrifice anything would not receive any rations. After the distribution, any remaining rations would be returned to the jail, under the control of Arfeen and Avinash. Those who did not receive any items would be lined up against a wall. Once Arfeen or Avinash pressed a buzzer, a blast would ensue, dousing the housemate with black ink.
		On Day 21, during weekend ka vaar, There was a task where Salman Khan asked other housemates to choose between Karan and Vivian that which one of them heart was black and giving with the valid reason, they have to fill their heart with the black water. Most of the housemates thought that Vivian's heart is more blackest than Karan.
	Sponsored	On Day 16, Galaxy Jewels presented a key to Avinash, who was in jail and controlling the house's ration supply. This key unlocked a dispenser filled with chocolates from Galaxy Jewels. Avinash had the privilege of sharing these chocolates with up to three housemates whom he considered to have a special bond with. He chose to share the treats with Eisha, Alice, and Muskan.
		On Day 19, My Trident installed a small valve in the bedroom, showcasing their folklore bedsheets made from 100% cotton. One of the bedsheets, which featured the design of Kalpavriksha (the wishing tree), was elegantly laid on the My Trident bed.
		On Day 20, Macho announced the results of the "Toing Man of the Week" poll, which allowed viewers to vote for their favorite male housemate. Rajat was chosen as the winner and received a Macho Sporto gift hamper as a prize.
		On Day 21, host Salman Khan unveiled the Go Cheese Greet Corner, situated near the jail, where Go Cheese will deliver cheesy surprises throughout the season. This time, Go Cheese treated all the housemates to pizza.
	Exits	On Day 20, Muskan was evicted after the majority of housemates voted her out, becoming the third housemate to exit.
		On Day 21, Nyrraa was evicted after facing the public vote, becoming the fourth housemate to exit.
