Housemates choreograph a song

All the housemates have been given a task to choreograph a song in pairs of twos. The song highlights the three stages of a couple's life together -- before marriage, the wedding and post-marriage, to be dedicated to the bridal couple.

A dholak and a book of lyrics were given to them to help them learn the songs for the various functions over the week.

Sara and Hrishant decorate the house

A game called Untying the knot was played among the housemates to bring about a sense of togetherness among them. Sara's hands are tied up by the boys and Ali was asked to untie it with his teeth, and then vice versa. Whoever took lesser time to untie the knot could ask the other to do a funny or an embarrassing dare.
