Bigg Boss 17 Day 87 Highlights: Mannara Chopra breaks down, calls Ankita Lokhande jealous after Vicky nominates her

The morning began with Vicky Jain stating that a softness is missing in his relationship with Ankita Lokhande. Hearing this, the actress stated that he should go away from her life. In a conversation with Munawar Faruqui, Vicky stated that he's not a 'ghulam' and claimed that he will make her taste her own medicine. Munawar explained that Ankita expects a certain exclusivity from him, which is not unfair. Meanwhile Ankita tried to hug Vicky. Later Ankita apologized to Mannara Chopra for making her and Vicky uncomfortable the other day. Mannara explained that she's not feeling embarrassed and awkward.

The nominations began with several taunts from Bigg Boss. Vicky, Abhishek Kumar, Munawar, Ayesha Khan, Arun Srikanth Mashettey, Samarth Jurel and Mannara were nominated for evictions. Captain Ankita and Isha Malviya were the only safe contestants. One highlight of the nomination was when Isha told Abhishek that he keeps sleeping all day and wakes up only during tasks. Hearing this, Abhishek told her he’s her ex-boyfriend and she should focus on her current beau Samarth instead. Meanwhile Vicky bhaiya left everyone shocked when he nominated Mannara. Munawar, on the other hand, didn’t press the buzzer for Mannara. When asked about the same, he said, “I don’t nominate friends.” However, he did agree with Isha’s reason for nominating Mannara and Bigg Boss pointed this out.

Post the nominations task, Munawar told Ankita he does not want any relationship with her. Hearing this, Bigg Boss described this as ‘convenience’. Munawar ignored the taunts and tried to make Ankita understand why he did not nominate Abhishek and instead nominated Ayesha. Meanwhile Vicky went over to Mannara to explain why he nominated her, even though they were growing close in the last few weeks. Vicky was upset that Mannara didn’t nominate Abhishek even though she was against his return to the show after he slapped Samarth. He also didn’t like that Mannara was being awkward with him even after Ankita apologized to her. Even Isha chimed in to slam Mannara for not nominating Abhishek, and accused her of thinking he’s an ‘open door’ for her. Mannara lost her cool when Isha accused her of playing safe with Abhishek. Isha concluded by stating, “For Mannara, Bigg Boss is all about Munawar Faruqui.” Abhishek jumped in and stated that Isha is not over him. In the end, Vicky told Mannara that her friendship with Samarth is of convenience because no one is talking to her.

This deeply hurt Mannara and she began screaming through tears. She called Vicky a ‘bad’ and ‘fake’ man. Samarth tried to pull her away but she didn’t stop. Vicky also accused her of not talking to him. Mannara once again clarified that it was because of Ankita and she does not want to be a ‘daraar’ between the husband and wife. Abhishek and Samarth tried to calm her down while Mannara accused Vicky of not seeing his wife’s hypocrisy. She even called Ankita ‘jealous’. Meanwhile Isha got upset with Samarth for taking care of Mannara during her breakdown. Mannara later told Isha that the way the latter hates Abhishek is the same way the former hates Munawar. Ayesha was also trolled by Munawar and Vicky for nominating Mannara and then trying to calm her down during her breakdown. She went out and angrily confronted them.

Later Ankita went and calmly tried to talk to Mannara. The Pavitra Rishta star told her that maybe her friendship with Samarth is not of convenience, but Mannara’s bond with Vicky is. This made things worse and Mannara continued crying. At the end of the episode, Munawar was called to the confession room where he was asked if relationships are more important for him or the game. Munawar chose the game but confessed that he did make bonds in the house. Meanwhile Ankita, Isha and Abhishek talked about how wrong Munawar was in nominations. Later Samarth told Mannara that unlike Vicky, he feels their friendship is organic. But it seems like their growing closeness is now affecting Isha.

Tonight, family members of contestants will enter the BB house.
