Bigg Boss 16: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Sajid Khan and Gautam Vig trade Rs 25 lakh from the prize money to save Archana Gautam, Sumbul Khan & Soundarya Sharma

Bigg Boss 16 brewed a lot of tension between the contestants especially with the nominations. Host Salman Khan revealed that the eliminations will depend on the fellow contestants rather than the audience this week. He asked the nominated contestants, Soundarya Sharma, Sumbul Touqeer Khan and Archana Gautam to choose one fellow contestant each and let them decide their fate in the house.However, the catch of the game was that if all the chosen contestants choose to save the nominated contestants then there will be a deduction of Rs 25 lakh from the prize money.
Archana Gautam chooses Priyanka Chahar Chouhary, Soundarya Sharma chooses Gautam Vig and Sumbul Touqeer chooses Sajid Khan. The three of them decided to trade Rs.25,00,00 from the prize money and save all the nominated contestants. Host Salman Khan then announced that there will be no elimination this week.
However, this brewed a lot of tension in the Bigg Boss house with Priyanka saying that they should have thought twice before taking such a decision. Later, she gets into an ugly spat with Shiv Thakare over the same.
The episode even stirred drama with Salman Khan schooling Sajid Khan over his pattern of behaviour during the last few weeks, Tina Datta and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary getting into a tiff and more.
