Asim disliked it when Sid and Vikas were sharing some laughs. Asim’s warning to Sid to keep away from Vikas didn’t work. Asim turned his frustration on Sid. Asim blamed Sid for “faking” his illness. Asim kept provoking Sid for a fight.

Asim’s Yes ShowtCount plummeted from 65% to 52%, his biggest single-day drop ever.

Rashami didn’t like it when Vikas supported Sid. She asked Vikas to stay away from the fight. But Vikas argued back and said Rashami was clueless about her life and that Arhaan is the wrong man for her. Rashami warned Vikas to not talk about her personal life. But Vikas said that he would talk about Arhaan as Arhaan is untrustworthy.

Vikas’ Yes Showts jumped from 41% to 48%.

Vikas had received 52% (Day 76) -- his highest Yes Showts ever -- when he was praised by Guest Hina Khan for his friendly temperament.

Vikas scored 34% (Day 78), his lowest ShowtCount when he broke his promise to support Arhaan for Captaincy.

Shefali’s Yes Showts skyrocketed from 37% to 44%.

ARHAAN, MADHURIMA AND SHEFALI BAGGA STUCK AT THE BOTTOM

When Asim and Sid were arguing, Rashami said that Sid was exaggerating his illness to get out of chores. Rashami asked Asim why he didn’t ask Sid to do some House chores.

Sid called Rashami a “servant” and asked Asim if she was serving him. Rashami blasted Sid saying that he didn’t know how to respect women. Sid said that “a girl like Rashami doesn't need to school him.”

Will Salman call out Sid and Rashami for their ugly fight? If Salman confronts Sid and Rashami, will Vikas keep his promise and support Sid or will he side with his friend Rashami?

The House stands divided on the Rashami-Sid fight. How will Captain Asim handle the House? Can’t wait to see what happens! Keep Showting!
