Festival like Diwali, is the time to rejoice with your close ones and indulge in grand celebrations. But Bigg Boss contestants are away from their family and are sad that they will have to celebrate this festival away from their loved ones. Known to go the extra mile and cheer them up with frequent surprises, Bigg Boss wasn't going to let them be gloomy this time around. Bringing in the festive spirt with a bang were the special guests – Bharti Singh and Aditya Narayan who promised a night full of entertainment for the housemates. The duo brought gifts from their families which the contestants had to earn by completing the challenges given to them.

Aditya and Bharti were the judges of these challenges and gave a coin to the most deserving contender as an award. The contestants who received the coins had to put it in the ‘Kushiyon Ka Pitara’ to receive the gifts. It was an emotional moment for all the contestants when they received love in the form of gifts by their families.

Deepak got a letter from his sisters and a picture of his grandfather, Dipika got a soft toy along with her wedding reception photo, Rohit got a family picture that was taken on his birthday, Surbhi got a soft toy from her nephew.

Sreesanth couldn’t hold his tears when he received a hand- written note, a drawing and school uniform from his daughter, as she recently joined school while Sreesanth was here.

Srishti received a frame that had her first salary that she gave to her father. Romil received a tiny bag which had his son’s dress which made him shed a tear, as he misses his son the most. All these made them feel special and closer to their families.

Not forgetting that it was Weekend Ka Vaar, and as a tradition, it was time for the Sultani Akhada.  Salman Khan nominated Karanvir and Shivashish for a face off in the akhada. As the day was coming to an end, the anxiety levels of the nominated contestants was soaring as one of them was about to get ousted of the Bigg Boss house.

Whose journey will come to a standstill and who will celebrate Diwali with their family?
