Vikas Gupta, Arshi Khan, Kashmera Shah, Manu Punjabi and Rahul Mahajan have stepped inside the house to make things difficult for Abhinav Shukla, Rubina Dilaik, Jasmin Bhasin and Eijaz Khan.
The Salman Khan-hosted show had its mid-season finale last weekend where the audience got to see the exit of singer Rahul Vaidya and actor Nikki Tamboli. Apart from them, Kavita Kaushik and Aly Goni also left Bigg Boss 14. But, the exit of Tamboli and Goni left the viewers upset, with many demanding their re-entry. Thus, Aly Goni and Nikki Tamboli are also back in the game and Rahul is yet to enter.
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, challengers promised to make it difficult for the contestants to win the show. While Gupta believes he will go ahead in the show with his mind games, Rakhi Sawant, who will enter the show tonight, said she will bring real entertainment to Bigg Boss 14. Arshi Khan, who was seen in Bigg Boss 11, told indianexpress.com that she has come on the show to add some ‘tadka’.
“The season desperately needs some tadka. I am going to be the entertainment quotient on the show. We will also be adding fuel to the fire. So it’s going to be a lot of fun with our arrival in the house,” said Arshi.
In Monday's episode of Bigg Boss 14, Vikas Gupta gets frustrated and takes action against Arshi Khan. After getting into a verbal spat with her, Vikas pushes Arshi in the swimming pool.
Jasmin and Aly, in conversation with Arshi and Abhinav, say that they are disappointed with Manu becoming captain.
Manu tries to solve things with Vikas, but the latter refuses to mend his ways and continues to break the rule of speaking in English. In his defence, Vikas says he cares a lot about the show, but he has taken a lot from Arshi and now, he is done.
Vikas asks Jasmin why she did not clarify her misunderstandings with him. Jasmin says she cannot be friends with Vikas.
Arshi and Vikas get into a verbal spat again. Aly tells Vikas that he is coming off very weak. As Vikas speaks in English, he gets a warning from Bigg Boss, but he refuses to follow instructions because he is bothered by Arshi's action.
Salman tells housemates that Abhinav is not getting evicted. Jasmin and Rubina celebrate the news.
After knowing that Abhinav is evicted from Bigg Boss, Jasmin cries and promises that she will not fight with Rubina anymore. Vikas assures Abhinav that he knows Abhinav won't get evicted. Rubina also breaks down and refuses to speak to Abhinav when he tries to bid goodbye.
Salman informs housemates that Abhinav has been voted out, but the host informs the audience that there are no evictions this week.
When Salman announces that Kashmera is out, the contestant says she found gutsy friends in the show who nominated themselves for her. Kashmera says she feels blessed to have met such people on Bigg Boss.
Salman asks Rakhi and Rahul to take the shower challenge. During their question and answer session, housemates break into laughter.
Salman invites contestants to the shower zone for a task. The first contestant to enter is Rubina. Salman asks Rubina if she thinks she is boring. Rubina says no and housemates agree. Salman asks if she thinks she can be the winner of the show, Rubina agrees, but the housemates disagree. When Salman asks if Rubina is smarter than Abhinav, housemates disagree.
Salman asks housemates to share their opinion on who between Arshi and Vikas should be out of the house.
Salman asks Bigg Boss 14 housemates if Rahul should be back in the game. Rahul, Vikas, Rubina and Abhinav say Rahul is a deserving candidate. Arshi says Rahul deserves to be in the show. Nikki says she wants to continue her friendship with him. Kashmera says she respects Bigg Boss and because Rahul disrespected the game, he should not come back. Eijaz agrees with Kashmera.
Salman asks Rahul if there is an advantage in entering the house now. Salman says Rahul has proven that he is not mentally strong to be in the show.
Salman informs Rahul that now Bigg Boss house is full of big players. Rahul says he does not get affected by anyone.
Rahul says he wants to re-enter Bigg Boss 14 house. The singer also says he is confident that he will get his fans' support.
Salman makes Rahul stand in the witness box. Salman asks him if he was scared of getting evicted. Rahul says he left the show only because he was homesick. He adds that in Bigg Boss, the popularity of a contestant doesn't matter as the audience votes as per one's conduct in the show.
Rahul Vaidya says fans showered so much love on him during his stay in the Bigg Boss house. He says his mother also wanted him to come back on the show.
Salman Khan welcomes Rahul Vaidya on Bigg Boss stage and asks him why he is back on the show.
