• On the grand premiere, host Riteish Deshmukh announced a special entry twist for the housemates, requiring them to choose one of two doors to enter the house. The first door, termed the Shortcut Door, offered exemption from household duties to those who selected it. The second door, known as the Hardship Door, required the housemates who chose it to perform regular household duties and face additional responsibilities within the house.

• Power Key Task

During the grand premiere, the contestants who chose the shortcut door were awarded a Power Key by Bigg Boss, resulting in a total of six housemates holding special powers. Bigg Boss then summoned all the Power Key holders to the Power Chamber in pairs: Sonali–Ruchita, Karan–Prajakta, and Deepali–Tanvi.

On the very first day, Karan had taken Ruchita's Power Key and later clearly refused to return it. As a result, Ruchita failed the task and was directly nominated for eviction. In the task between Deepali and Tanvi, Tanvi pressed the buzzer first, making her a contender for the captaincy, while Deepali was nominated for eviction. Due to Ruchita's nomination, Sonali also became a direct contender for the captaincy. In the final pairing between Prajakta and Karan, Prajakta emerged as a captaincy contender, while Karan was nominated for eviction. ^[18]

The nomination task involved a kite-cutting activity, in which only the captaincy contenders—Sonali, Prajakta, and Tanvi— were granted the power to participate. During the task, they were allowed to cut kites bearing photographs of the housemates they wished to nominate for eviction. Cutting a contestant's kite directly resulted in that housemate being nominated. Meanwhile, Ruchita, Deepali, and Karan had already been directly nominated for eviction. ^[19]

As a result, Ruchita, Deepali, Karan, Roshan, Radha, Prabhu, Anushri, Sagar and Divya were nominated. ^[19]

Housemates were divided into teams and given farm-related materials, including cotton, to create sheep. Each sheep symbolised a secret confession previously made by one of the contestants. After completing the sheep, the teams were required to identify which contestant each confession belonged to. A correct identification resulted in the elimination of the named contestant from the task, while an incorrect guess led to penalties, including the elimination of the person making the guess. Prajakta competed against Sonali, Tanvi and Anushri in the decisive phase of the task. Tanvi was eliminated first after Anushri correctly identified a confession related to her school life. Anushri was subsequently eliminated when she failed to correctly guess a confession. The final round was contested between Prajakta and Sonali. Prajakta correctly identified that a confession about hiding professional struggles belonged to Anushri, which led to Sonali's elimination. ^[20]

As a result of winning the BB Farm Task, Prajakta was declared the new house captain.

• Ulta-Pulta Room

Bigg Boss introduced a special room called ‘Ulta-Pulta Room.’ Designed with all objects placed upside down, the room symbolised unpredictability, with its decisions having the potential to significantly impact the course of the game. The outcome of this room was expected to determine whose game would strengthen and whose journey in the house could come to an end. As the captain at the time, Prajakta was summoned by Bigg Boss to the Ulta-Pulta Room, where she was presented with a crucial choice. Bigg Boss informed her that if she wished to become a contender for the captaincy, she would have to take the Power Key held by Karan. Prajakta accepted the offer, took the Power Key from Karan, and consequently made herself a captaincy contender. ^[21]

• Power Key Task

The Power Key Task was conducted using two symbolic doors—the Dung House and the Wax House. Contestants were divided into trios known as “sparrows,” while the remaining housemates acted as “crows.” In each round, the crows eliminated one sparrow by sending them into the Dung House, after which the eliminated contestant chose one of the remaining two to be eliminated. The final remaining contestant entered the Wax House and received a Power Key. Across all rounds, Vishal, Roshan, Ayush, Prabhu, and Raqesh emerged from their respective groups by entering the Wax House and securing the Power Key, giving them a strategic advantage in the captaincy race. ^[22]

• Planet Task

The Planets Task was introduced by Bigg Boss as a decisive round to determine the captaincy contenders. Only contestants holding a Power Key were eligible to participate, with two spots available for the captaincy race. In the task, the Power Key holders were assigned the roles of planets in a solar system setup, with a central buzzer referred to as the Sun. Upon Bigg Boss activating the buzzer, one planet had to rush forward and press the Sun buzzer. Following this, two other contestants were designated as eclipses, who consulted with the buzzer-pressing contestant and jointly selected any two planets to place under an eclipse. Contestants placed under an eclipse were immediately eliminated from the captaincy race.

By the end of the task, Vishal, Prabhu, Prajakta, and Raqesh were eliminated, while Ayush and Roshan remained and were selected as the final captaincy contenders. ^[23]
