Overview
- Producers ran a 'visitor week' during the show's finale phase that let friends, family and rivals enter the Lock Upp jail and use assigned powers to move contestants into or out of at‑risk status, and the grand finale is scheduled to stream on August 5.
- A viral clip of Ram Kapoor kissing Shreya Kalra prompted sustained viewer criticism and led to his wife Gautami entering the house and apologising to Shreya on his behalf for any inappropriate touching.
- Vikas Gupta entered as a visitor, confronted Shilpa Shinde over comments about Shivangi Joshi and Ram Kapoor, and drew heavy online backlash for his tone and the producers' decision to pair them.
- Former Splitsvilla ally Suzzane used a visitor power to place Akanksha Chaudhary at risk while Akanksha accused Yogesh Rawat of having been in a suicidal state during an earlier dispute, a claim that appears sourced to on‑show remarks rather than independent reporting.
- Tasks during visitor week also produced allegations of misogyny against Varun Yadav and widescale social‑media debate, underscoring how the twist has reshaped contestants' public narratives and could influence audience reaction at the finale.
