Anushka’s Entry and Secret Challenge

The episode began with Anushka entering the Mischief Den, where Mischief Makers Nia Sharma and Uorfi Javed revealed what her boyfriend Mohit had been doing behind her back with Sadhaaf. Once again, Anushka was asked to choose between Pyaar (Love) and Paisa (Money).

2. Do a romantic slow dance with Gullu
3. Throw Sadhaaf Shankar’s clothes into the pool
4. Spread a rumour that Mohit has bad breath and body odor

After returning to the villa, Anushka began completing her secret missions:

• She successfully threw Sadhaaf’s red dress into the pool.
• She performed a romantic slow dance with Gullu.
• She spread the rumour about Mohit’s bad breath and body odor among the girls.
• She failed to complete the massage task with Deeptanshu.

Puppy Lehri Task: Rules, Pairs, Teams, and Results

All Pyaar Villa contestants reached their next challenge location, where hosts Sunny Leone and Karan Kundrra introduced the Puppy Lehri task. The winning team would earn immunity from the next dome session.

Rules of the Puppy Lehri Task:

• The competition took place between two teams, each consisting of three pairs.
• Each pair had to cross a pool on a raft in a relay format.
• While rafting, contestants needed to measure the size of smiley emoji boards using their hands.
• Then they had to capture the matching smiley emoji hanging above the pool using their mouth and place it on the board.
• The team whose three pairs completed the entire task first would win immunity.

Participating Pairs:

1. Gullu and Anisha
2. Vishu and Suzanne
3. Anjali and Ayush
4. Gauresh and Akanksha
5. Deeptanshu and Soundharya
6. Sadhaaf and Mohit

Note: Since no one chose Anushka, she did not get a chance to win immunity. However, if her team won the task, she could gift immunity to another contestant later.

Teams for the Puppy Lehri Task

Team 1:

1. Deeptanshu and Soundharya
2. Sadhaaf and Mohit
