Jiya read the comments that said, “Jad says that Jiya is like his daughter but his actions show otherwise (Their bond is more like lovers and less like a father-daughter, which they claim). However, Jiya was unable to guess who said this and was told by the guest Terence Lewis that it was Abhishek Malhan and Manisha Rani.

Sumbul Touqeer experienced a serious panic attack following an altercation with Shalin Bhanot and Tina Datta in Bigg Boss 16 house. Her chat with her father caused quite a stir in the house, and when she was challenged about it, she burst into tears and suffered from worry and terror. Nimrit had made a request to Bigg Boss to send a doctor for Sumbul as quickly as possible.
Shalin Bhanot was one of the strongest contestants in the Bigg Boss 16 house but after his fight with Tina Datta, he was feeling cornered by everyone in the house and was on the verge of depression and mental breakdown. Shalin could not take it anymore and broke down in the confession room. He asked Bigg Boss to let him leave the house as he doesn’t want to stay in it. Shalin further added, “Is this room soundproof? There are some things. There is no one to talk to in this house. It is stupid. It is ridiculous. Mujhe yeh ghar kaat raha hai. Kaatne ko daud raha hai. I am losing my sh*t right now. Can’t do this. Please get me off the grid.”
One of the most loved contestants from the Bigg Boss 16 house, Shiv Thakare was called into the confession room by Bigg Boss after he saw him being heavy at heart. Shiv broke down in the confession room and revealed that he is missing his family. Shiv further added “I was missing my family and I couldn't hold it back. I wish there was someone with whom I could talk to. I kept feeling that am I going wrong in this game? People think he has done Bigg Boss Marathi, he would do all planning and plotting but I actually play from my heart and I have always kept friendship over all this. I am only concerned about what my mother is watching. I try not to break anybody's heart in this house. People think he must be planning something that's why I have come close to Shalin. I am close to everyone, there is no planning. I just wanted everyone to walk together. When weekend ka vaar happened, I didn't see my name coming up so I got tensed about whether I am playing ok or not. Even one word of appreciation would boost me."
