The highly popular reality show 'Bigg Boss Marathi' has entered its ninth week, and the intensity inside the house is at an all-time high.

This season kicked off with 17 contestants, including wild card entries, but now only 8 members remain, making the battle for the 'Bigg Boss' title even more thrilling.

In a recent twist, Arbaz Patel, one of the stronger contestants, was unexpectedly eliminated from the house. His exit has left both viewers and fellow housemates stunned. 

Speaking after his eviction, Arbaz admitted that he never imagined leaving the house so early, calling the elimination one of the biggest shocks of the season. Now, with Arbaz out of the game, the spotlight has shifted to his close ally Nikki, and fans are eager to see how she navigates the game without him.

Arbaz and Nikki have been close from day one, forming a group alongside Jahnavi and Vaibhav. Although the group eventually fell apart, Arbaz and Nikki continued to play together, forging a strong bond. 

However, Arbaz’s exit has visibly shaken Nikki, leaving her emotional and uncertain about her next moves in the house.

Just as tensions were rising, 'Bigg Boss' introduced a new task for the housemates. In this latest challenge, contestants are required to target each other by naming two members who fail to express their opinions assertively.

Once again, Ankita singled out Suraj, which sparked outrage among netizens. Ankita's repetitive targeting of Suraj has drawn criticism from viewers, many of whom took to social media to express their displeasure with his actions.

Nikki, still reeling from Arbaz’s exit, also responded strongly to Ankita’s decision. She quickly remarked, “Look... she's just trying to corner you by acting brotherly.” The comment highlighted the growing tension within the house and has further fueled fan reactions online.

Many believe this new ‘target’ task will set the stage for this week’s nomination process, and the house is expected to see more drama unfold as contestants scramble to avoid elimination.
