While Priyank packs lucky shoes for his mom, Luv packs the T-Shirt he wore for the audition of Bigg Boss. Shilpa gets very emotional with the family photograph she packed for her brother. Hina packs a basket with lots of stuff and Puneesh packs the ring he had made for Bandagi in the Bigg Boss house. Akash, as usual, puts some weird gifts like a deodorant and tissues out of which the only sane was a surkasha kawach.

Vikas is upset as he thinks he will not be able to see his mom and Shilpa tells him to take this as a game.

Bigg Boss understands the fix of the family members of choosing the best basket so he trades captaincy and in return allows everyone to see their family members.

Luv meets his mother in a very long time and couldn’t hold back his tears as they met. His mother consoles him and compliments that he is playing well. Luv introduces her to the rest of the housemates and he takes her blessings as she leaves. The housemates were in awe of Luv’s mother's calmness.

Finally, Bandagi enters and Puneesh’s happiness knows no bounds as he keeps complimenting her on her checks. Bandgi says a hi to everyone from distance and tells Puneesh that he is playing really good. They finally manage to steal a kiss before she leaves.

Hina’s beau Rocky enters the house and they kiss each other on the cheeks. Hina asks Rocky if she can win the game and he assured her that she is the winner already (rolling eyes). He finally bids goodbye to her and the other contestants. Shilpa and everyone once again poke fun at the way Hina cried last time. However, appajaan does not cry this time.

Akashi’ mom is the next to enter and he takes her blessings. She advises him to play an individual game. Akash touches her feet and she blows kisses for the rest of the housemates and leaves. Akash conveys his mother's words to Shilpa and Puneesh that they should play their individual game, Shilpa and Puneesh get influenced by this and decide to play their game.

It’s time for Vikas’ mother to enter the house and the moment she enters he picks her up in his arms and they both hold each other and cry inconsolably.
