Bigg Boss 9 Day 97: Mandana, Keith, Rishabh join Rishabh in the finale!

As today’s episode opens, the cast of Airlift comprising Akshay Kumar and Nimrit Kaur get the adrenaline of the inmates gushing by arranging a boot camp. It all begins when Akshay and Nimrit land in the BB house to promote their new film. The stars usher the housemates to the garden area wherein one by one all the men of the house prove their mettle by crossing the hurdles in minimum time frame to save the ladies. Keith begins the drill, followed by Rishabh and Prince. Funnily, when Rishabh fails to find the key in the pool to unlock Priya’s handcuffs, he leaves her away to rescue Rochelle and Mandana.

Finally, Prince manages to perform the task in the shortest time and wins the goody bag. The cast bids adieu to the house after capturing their memories in a quick selfie.

Soon after, host Salman Khan takes charge of the episode and connect to the housemates via Me TV. He compliments Rishabh for his new haircut and asks him why he got shocked when he was nominated by Imam for the finale round. Rishabh says that he thought Imam would choose Mandana because she was bonding more with him ever since his arrival.  Imam intervenes at this point to explain that he has been spending equal time with everyone in the house as with Mandana; so it is not fair to say he would be biased towards her just for that.

The spotlight falls on the hot favorite Mandana this week as Salman brings up the topic of her attempts to bond with Imam – as noted by Priya and others. Rochelle points out that Mandana’s interest in the new inmate wanes once he or she gets retained in the house. They recall how Mandana had a tiff with Imam when he said something nasty about her new film Kya Super Kool Hain Hum.

Salman shows the clip of the conversation wherein Imam is having a conversation with Keith in the bedroom and he says that KSKHH does not compliment Indian culture. Mandana takes offense and attacks Imam by questioning him how he could pass such a personal comment. Imam defends his case, but Mandana goes on arguing that he should not have said so because she has done the movie going by her own conviction. She further says that it is ok if the movie is A-rated and let the people decide whether they want to see it or not.

When Mandana asks Salman about her movie – whether it has been released or not – how it has been doing – Salman says it a poker face –“It is a big disaster!”

Mandana gets shocked to receive this response and exclaims –“really!”

To this Salman says, “Yes. And you are in a trouble. You may be asked to leave the country! I shall talk to you more about it in the next episode” Other housemates find it funny and burst into laughter.

Soon after, Salman takes a break from Me TV and welcomes Akshay and Nimrit on stage. They share personal anecdotes and play a hilarious game of dumbcharades.

Then after, they connect via Me TV to the housemates and make the girls and boys wear dhoti and sarees respectively. Rochelle wins the game among the girls by styling her dhoti smartly.

Finally, Salman brings the episode to end by announcing that Rishabh, Mandana and Keith will be making their way to the finale along with Prince.
