The captaincy task gave ex-captains Munawar Faruqui, Mannara Chopra, and Aoora the authority to choose the new captain. Munawar supported Ankita, while Isha favored Samarth. Despite initial differences, Munawar convinced Isha to support Ankita, leading to Lokhande winning the captaincy.
However, Samarth, expecting an advantage through Isha’s influence, was disappointed as Isha chose to support Ankita and remove him from the race. Mannara, too, expressed dissatisfaction with Munawar for not standing up for her candidacy. Nevertheless, Ankita became the new captain, receiving congratulations from the housemates.
