'Bigg Boss 9': Prize money reduces from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 39 lakh!
On Day 8, Bigg Boss gives the housemates a chance to reclaim their lost bags.
Calling it the 'Nilami Task', Bigg Boss tells them that the four contestants without their bags (Keith Sequeira, Suyyash Rai, Prince Narula and Digangana Suryavanshi) will be required to bid for their bags. The minimum bid starts at Rs. 3 lakh and the total sum of the bids will get deducted from the total prize money.
Not understanding the task well, Suyyash, Prince and Digangana think that the highest bidder will get their bags back. They went ahead and bid for their bags. Understanding that he should not bid for his bags because the prize money for all contestants would be important, Keith did not participate and wrote 'zero' on his white board. While the other three received their bags back, Keith's intelligence received everyone's empathy for not having received his bags.
All hell breaks loose when the housemates realise that the prize money now stands at Rs. 39,66,667!
