Sumbul Touqeer, Shalin Bhanot and Tina Datta, who were also nominated, were saved. Interestingly, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary engaged in a war of words with Sumbul Touqeer when Bigg Boss asked everyone to share the rules that were broken during Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia's captaincy.

WHEN EKTA KAPOOR ROPED IN TEJASSWI AS NAAGIN

Both Priyanka Choudhary and Sumbul Touqeer have earned a significant fan following while playing the respective roles in Udaariyaan and Imlie.
