Bigg Boss 15: Why does Karan think Nishant is a snake?

Tejasswi and Karan lose their VIP status. Nishant is saved.

Wednesday's episode resumes with the punishment task where Pratik Sehajpal and Simba Nagpal debate each other.

All the VIP members praise them for taking the task seriously and giving their best. Karan Kundrra, Tejasswi Prakash, Umar Riaz, Vishal Kotian and Nishant Bhat finally decide to let Pratik go into the house.

They carry on the task with Simba still on the debating chair. The last person to go up against him is Rajiv Adatia.

Rajiv is angry with the VIP members as they had promised to let him compete with Pratik, making it easy for him to debate. But that doesn't happen and Rajiv goes against his good friend Simba.

Since Rajiv doesn't have anything negative to say for Simba, the latter wins the debate, and Rajiv ends up in jail.

Umar later tells Karan and Tejasswi that they should stop overthinking and strategising as their plan backfired and now they all are looking silly on television. Karan feels they are going very wrong in the game.

They also discuss about Nishant and how he was smartly supporting Pratik in the punishment task.

Karan says it out loud that Nishant is indeed a snake.

The next morning, Karan has a quick chat with Umar and asks him about his changing equation with Tejasswi.

The former says he doesn't like Tejasswi's behaviour since the past few days.

Karan tells him to talk with Teja and sort things out as it's just a misunderstanding and he doesn't want them to become foes.

He then sits with Tejasswi and tells her that Umar regrets talking to her rudely and they should clear the air.

In the evening, a new task is announced specially for the VIP members. Karan, Tejasswi, Vishal, Umar and Nishant will compete against each other to earn a special power.

At the same time, some of them will lose their place from the VIP zone. The task requires VIP members to collect cotton in their respective baskets and make sure their basket is the heaviest.

The non VIP members will weigh their baskets in every round and will eliminate the member with the lowest weight.

The task begins and Neha is the monster in the first round. Tejasswi and Vishal's basket weighs the lowest. Hence, they go in front of the monster for the elimination.

Neha decides to eliminate Tejasswi and with that, she loses her VIP tag.

In the next round, Kundrra tries to cheat and Pratik gets angry. He removes cotton from his basket which irks Karan.

They start arguing and fighting. In a fit of rage, Karan throws his basket. The housemates try calm the situation.

Ultimately, Karan is left with no basket and Nishant's basket weighs the lowest.

Umar and Vishal are safe. Since Simba is the monster in the second round, he eliminates Karan and saves Nishant.

Both Tejasswi and Karan end up losing their VIP status.
