    Notes

    • ^1 :   This housemate was the current member of Secret Society and could not be nominated for eviction through the standard nomination process that week. Their identity was hidden from non-members.
    • ^2 : Deepshika, Puneet and Pritam being chosen by Bigg Boss as members of the secret society had to unanimously decide who would face the public vote. This process occurred after the housemates were done nominating. After accessing the results of the standard nominations the trio chose Sonali and Gautam.
    • ^3 : Bigg Boss took away Gautam's right to nominate as a result of him verbally abusing Karishma during the 'Hijack' challenge.
    • ^4 : Sukirti was nominated by Sonali via her "Bigg Bomb" after her eviction.
    • ^5 : Bigg Boss took away Aarya's right to nominate as a result of him taking off the mic and throwing it into the pool. Aarya was also straightaway nominated for being the captain of the losing team of 'Babbars vs Lambas' task.
    • ^6 : Bigg Boss nominated Diandra for her violent aggression towards Sonali.
    • ^7 : Pritam was nominated as a result for being the captain of the losing team of 'Heroes VS Villains' task.
    • ^8 : The captain was given a special power to nominate one or more housemates which would place them directly up for eviction.
    • ^9 : Bigg Boss nominated Ali as a result of him indecently touching Sonali against her will and liking.
    • ^10 : Sushant was nominated as a result of failing the 'Phonebooth' task.
    • ^11 : Housemates could only choose two housemates for nomination between the five nominated by Captain Upen. Housemates not chosen by the captain were hence rendered immune.
    • ^12 : Puneet was banned from the nomination process for being in the jail.
    • ^13 : Dimpy and Renee were made immune to nominations as per Bigg Boss' orders..
    • ^14 : The captain was given a special power to save one or more housemates from nominations.
    • ^15 : Apart from Ali, Gautam and Puneet, rest of the housemates had to unanimously decide on four nominees to evict.
    • ^16 : Upen was nominated by Nigaar via her "Bigg Bomb" after her eviction.
    • ^17 : Bigg Boss nominated Sonali for the rest of the season for her violent aggression towards Ali.
    • ^18 : House Captain Pritam was asked to nominate five housemates directly for eviction and due to this other housemates were not eligible to nominate anyone.
    • ^19 : Voting lines were not applicable this week and due to this no housemates were evicted.
    • ^20 : Bigg Boss nominated every housemate except Captain Karishma for breaking the rules of the house and therefore no housemates were eligible for nominating anyone including Captain Karishma.
    • ^21 : Karishma nominated Praneet as the punishment during the judgement day.
    • ^22 : Though Sonali is the captain of the house this week, but she was not given immunity from eviction. Therefore, she was nominated this week.
    • ^23 : Though voting lines were open this week, no housemates were evicted as it was Salman Khan's birthday week.
    • ^24 : As, no eviction held previous week the same nominees were forwarded to this week.
