Bigg Boss stated that the show would not continue with any tasks or communications unless the contestants responsible came forward, confessed their mistakes, and promised not to repeat them. Following the announcement, housemates Adhila and Noora stepped up and admitted to sharing their makeup products with others, stating they did so out of friendship. Both issued apologies and pledged to follow the rules going forward. However, the situation escalated when Binny accused Gizele of continuing to hide a concealer, claiming she had seen her using it earlier that day.

Salman Khan could've owned an IPL Team, here's why he said no: 'Pachta rahe...'
Many Bollywood stars have significant investments in the IPL (Indian Premier League). Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla are the owners of three-time champions KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders), while Preity Zinta is one of the co-owners of IPL 2025 finalist PBKS (Punjab Kings). Bollywood's superhero Salman Khan is also very interested in cricket and often tweets about the IPL. An old tweet of his for Preity Zinta's team went viral after Punjab reached the final of IPL 2025. However, Khan is not the owner of any IPL team. On Sunday, he made an interesting revelation that he was offered a team back in 2008, when the IPL first began. Why doesn't Salman Khan own an IPL team? During an event in Mumbai, when asked if he was interested in buying an IPL team in the future, the 59-year-old star replied in his signature style, 'I have become too old for the IPL.' Salman further said, 'IPL was offered to me a long time ago, but I didn't take it at that time. Now it's not like I regret it. I'm happy very happy. I took part in the ISPL league: tennis ball, street cricket, the kind I can play. Big leagues are not within our reach; we are grassroots players, and we're good here.' Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has bought the New Delhi franchise, stepping into the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL). This team will join the league from Season 3 (2025). The ISPL already features several celebrity team owners, including Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Akshay Kumar, Suriya, Hrithik Roshan, and Ram Charan, each representing teams from different cities. Salman's entry is expected to raise both the competition and the excitement. The New Delhi team will aim to make its mark in true Dabangg style, while fans will enjoy the fresh experience of seeing their favorite star as the owner of a cricket team. In Season 2 of the Indian Street Premier League, Majhi Mumbai won the title. This time, in the third season, the mascot of ISPL is Googly Bhai. The league's core committee includes Tendulkar, Asian Cricket Council member and cabinet minister Ashish Shelar, Meenal Amol Kale, and Suraj Samat. Their mission is to connect grassroots talent with professional cricket opportunities. After buying the team, Salman Khan said, 'Cricket resonates like a heartbeat in every street, and when that energy reaches the stadium, a league like ISPL is born. I have always been passionate about this game and am very excited to be associated with ISPL. This unique league not only promotes grassroots cricket in India but also provides an important platform for talented players.'
