On Sunday, it was revealed that Shehbaz’s exit was a result of receiving the fewest votes. The episode opened with host Salman Khan and Riteish gearing up the housemates for yet another surprise.

Riteish asked contestants to predict who they believed might leave. Farrhana Bhatt and Tanya Mittal pointed towards Shehbaz, while Gaurav Khanna and Amaal Mallik pointed at Malti Chahar. Following which, Riteish shared that Shehbaz has been evicted. The news left the house emotional, especially Amaal.

After the announcement, Salman told him that he would now be recognised as Shehbaz in his own right, rather than just as the brother of actor and Bigg Boss 13 contestant Shehnaaz Gill. Shehbaz shared that appearing on the show had been a long-held dream and apologised for previously accusing the makers of being biased.

Shehbaz was the first wildcard contestant of the season. He earlier lost a public vote against Mridul Tiwari during the grand premiere.
