Bigg Boss 16 October 29 Day 29 Live Written Updates: Gautam Vig Makes A Problematic Choice

In last night’s Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan was seen in his true element after last week’s hiatus. The actor more than made up for his absence by setting the contestants right. While Sumbul Touqeer and Ankit Gupta bore the brunt of not “standing up” enough, Abdu Rozik was applauded for his genuine personality. We expect tonight’s episode to be a spicy extension of last night’s entertainment. The best bit? Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khattar, and Siddhant Chaturvedi are all set to add glamour, fun, and tadka to the show. Read on for live updates from this not-to-be-missed episode:
