Bigg Boss 17, the Indian reality show that has taken the nation by storm, once again delivered an episode that left the audience glued to their television screens. As the show progresses, it becomes interestingly captivating. The episode that aired on October 26, 2023, was a rollercoaster ride filled with drama, controversies, and laughter. Here’s a recap of what went down on Salman Khan’s show.
From Mannara Chopra’s spat to Ankita Lokhande’s fights – Thursday Bigg Boss episode had it all
The episode kicked off with a fiery showdown between Mannara Chopra and Khanzaadi, a conflict that soon spiraled out of control. Khanzaadi found support from Ankita Lokhande, Isha Malviya, and others, turning the altercation into a full-blown drama.
Meanwhile, another battle was brewing between Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain. Vicky Jain, feeling cornered, took a stand against Ankita’s behavior. He confronted her constant scowls. Vicky scolded her, saying (originally in Hindi), “This is ridiculous. You haven’t given me anything in life, at least let me have my peace of mind.” His words were scathing as he went on to say (originally in Hindi), “It is the worst side of you that I never saw. I am ashamed.”
Following this intense exchange, a visibly upset Vicky stormed out of the room, leaving Ankita in tears.
Bigg Boss introduced an interesting twist with a rap battle between two isolated housemates, Khanzaadi and Navid Sole. They were given thirty minutes to prepare and perform their rap songs. Both contestants put up an impressive performance, but it was Navid who emerged victorious with the most votes.
Mannara Chopra set boundaries
As the day drew to a close, Abhishek Kumar engaged in a strategic conversation with Ankita Lokhande and Isha Malviya. They discussed Mannara Chopra’s attitude and how she had reacted when Ankita tried to resolve differences with her. It was revealed that Mannara gets provoked when they discuss her cousins, including the actress Parineeti Chopra.
Abhishek recognized Mannara’s weak spot and decided to exploit it in the future. Later in the evening, during a light-hearted gathering near the pool, Abhishek used his newfound knowledge, saying (originally in Hindi), “You look quite similar to Parineeti.” This comment raised eyebrows.
Mannara Chopra had made her position clear in the first week of Bigg Boss 17 – she did not want to discuss her family. In a conversation with Ankita, Isha, and Munawar, Mannara reiterated her stance. She emphasized her journey on the show was based on her talent, not her family name. Munawar assured her that he would respect her wishes and refrain from discussing her family in the future.
