Farah's Secret Task Changes the Game
Farah entered the Lock Upp house with a special task for Varun, Shreya, and Shilpa, who had won the earlier challenge. Their job was to unanimously decide whether Sufi Chamola's secret or Yogesh's secret would be revealed.
The discussion quickly turned into a disagreement. Varun wanted Sufi's secret to come out, while Shreya and Shilpa backed Yogesh. Since the decision had to be unanimous, the group eventually settled on revealing Yogesh's secret, setting off one of the biggest moments of the episode.

Elimination Task Takes an Unexpected Turn
The day's final task brought another major twist.
Ritesh called Yogesh, Madhuri, and Akanksha Choudhary along with the controllers, Shilpa, Shreya, Varun, Pamela, and Dheeraj. The controllers had to decide whether to eliminate two of the nominated contestants or sacrifice their own cellmates instead.
