	Tasks	Toy Factory The garden area was transformed into a Toy Factory for the 'Team v/s Team Week.' Each team had to create sock puppets using the available thread and needle at their workstations. During each round, the first siren sound indicated that wool, buttons, and socks were about to be sent into the house through a ramp, and puppet creation had to be paused. When the second siren sound played, only two members from each team were allowed to take as many supplies as needed. Once the supplies were taken, puppet creation could resume. Only the chosen team members could work behind the workstation to create puppets, while the rest had to wait. Pooja and Aaliya were assigned as quality-assurance managers for the opposing teams. Once one side created 10 puppets, the quality-assurance manager of the opposite team had to either 'Reject' or 'Approve' the puppets, providing a reason for any rejections. The approved and rejected puppets of each team were placed into separate boxes labelled 'Approved' and 'Rejected.' At the end of the task, the team with the most approved sock puppets would win the challenge and receive Premium Ration and the privilege of not having to do any household duties for the week. Conversely, the losing team would receive a basic ration and be responsible for performing the household duties for the week.

However, Team B will have the freedom to decide whether they want to accept and complete the task or not. In the second round, roles will swap, and Team B will have the chance to dare or challenge Team A with a task of their choosing. Once again, it will be Team A's choice whether to accept or decline the challenge. After the task, viewers will vote to determine which team performed better in completing their respective challenges. The winning team, based on viewer votes, will be granted the privilege of selecting a member from their team to become the next House Captain.

Bigg Boss announces each round, and the hotel manager, Abhishek, decides the staff role for each housemate. The roles include one receptionist, two chefs, and four housekeepers. After the roles are decided, Abhishek places the names of the housemates next to their assigned jobs on a board in the garden area. Then, the guests, who are the family members, enter the house. Once the guests' time is up, they give a star to a housemate who isn't their family member. At the end of the task, the two housemates with the most stars become candidates for the next week's Captaincy.

After that, Bigg Boss announced one of three punishments: 'Laundry Zone', 'Boot Polish', or 'Joker Zone'. The housemate picked by Abhishek had to complete the assigned punishment until Bigg Boss declared its end. The better Abhishek's selection was in choosing the housemate who fit the criteria, the better the ration they would receive.
