Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain in Bigg Boss 17
Salman Khan was back on stage to guide and grill the contestants on Bigg Boss 17 Shukravar Ka Vaar. He addressed all the important matters on the show throughout the week. Right from Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain's fights to Abhishek Kumar calling Mannara Chopra duplicate 'Parineeti Chopra', he delivered an eye-opening episode for the housemates.
The Shukravar Ka Vaar episode kickstarted with Abhishek instigating Mannara by calling her duplicate 'Parineeti Chopra'. For the unversed, Mannara and Parineeti are cousins. The actress got triggered over that term and couldn't hold back her tears. Salman made Abhishek realise his mistake and also asked Mannara not to get carried away by her emotions. She expressed that it is a triggering point for her to talk about her cousins as people might feel she is on the show due to her influence.
The other key highlight of the episode was Salman slamming Vicky and Ankita. He claimed Ankita might be jealous of Vicky who is performing better on Bigg Boss 17 than her. Despite not being a television face, Salman also praised him for getting most of the things right.
Salman made Anurag Dobhal dance to Jhoome Jo Pathaan with Neil Bhatt. After touching upon various key matters, the superstar came to the topic of Munawar and Mannara's closeness. He asked the comedian not to mellow down and be fierce and courageous to tackle the issue. Munawar was shown the mirror and he addressed the matter with the housemates. Munawar and Mannara's proximity was one of the key discussions.

The episode ended with a major argument. Vicky was with Ankita when he called her 'dumb'. The actress reacted to him calling her dumb on national television. Ankita, who has been unhappy with the way Vicky is treating her inside the house, asked him to not use that term for her.
Later in the argument, Vicky snapped back at Ankita for not trying to understand. He said it wouldn't be possible for him to spend the entire day around her. During the conversation, Ankita felt she is being projected as a fake person inside the house.
