Day – 5 of Bigg Boss 8 started with the energetic song ‘Ice Cream’ from the movie Xpose, that made everyone jump on their feet especially Sonali Raut. 

A little friction has the potential of turning things ugly, likewise the atmosphere in the Bigg Boss flight is really heating up. Praneet has started to boss over the other passengers in matters of the kitchen much to the dislike of everyone around him. Picking fights with Gautam early in the morning over kitchen matters, has made Diandra also go against Praneet. 

On the other hand, Bigg Boss has tasked the Secret Society to choose a weakling amongst themselves. The members were asked to identify the weakest member of their faction who would be sent down to the Flight with the rest of the passengers. Being sent into the flight, the member becomes an ordinary passenger losing all control and immunity granted otherwise to a Secret Society member. While they completed their duties conferred upon them with 100% conviction, the group consensus was that Puneet Issar was more empathetic towards the passengers and considered renouncing the punishments and decisions. While Deepshika and Preetam would continue to be members of the Secret Society, controlling the passengers, Puneet would now continue his journey as another member on this flight.

With lights going out and smoke covering the ground around the flight suspense gripped the passengers as Puneet Issar made a larger than life and dramatic entry on the background score ‘Rakht Charitra’. Puneet was welcomed with loud shouts and cheers as their excitement grew even more. While other passenger know of him and were eager to get to know him, Aarya and Minisha have had the experience of knowing Puneet from before. Despite of his familiarity, the feeling of uncertainty grips Aarya as he later doubts the purpose of Puneet being sent down to travel this journey with the rest of them.

Being with the Secret Society, Puneet has been keeping an eye on the passengers, noticing their every move and action. Giving reference of Mythology, Punit Issar reffered to each passenger as a character from the Mahabharat , where Upen seems like Arjun, Gautam like  Karan, Aarya on the other hand resembles Bheem. Sushant is similar to Nakul and Praneet Bhat better known as Shakuni Mama would suit better as Yudhisthir. He ends by referring to himself as  Bheeshma Pitamaha.

As the day started to dawn into night, everyone was seen excited for the clock to strike 12, as Praneet would be the first passenger to celebrate his birthday this season on the flight. With high hopes Praneet made countless requests to Secret Society for his luggage and permission to share his business class goodies with his co-passengers on his birthday.  To buoy his spirits Bigg Boss echoed a message sent to him by his mother, which brought everyone down to tears, including Diandra and Soni Singh.

But all hell broke loose as his pleads were met with a harsh response when only a brownie with a candle and a new costume from of his on-screen avatar were sent to him as gifts to bring in his birthday celebrations. A disappointed Praneet couldn’t control his emotions as he refused to play by the dirty rules and decisions of the Secret Society. 

Will the dejected and disheartened passengers survive the harsh obstacles that this journey reserves?
