In the Bigg Boss house, the conflict between Shalin Bhanot and Sumbul Touqeer over the nomination and other issues is still going strong on Day 26. Shalin and Soundarya had to decide between Sumbul and Shiv for nominations the day before. Soundarya persisted in saving Sumbul in order to offer her a second opportunity while Shalin took Sumbul's name. She convinces Shalin to agree to her terms. Sumbul was enraged at him for assuming her name in the first place and then apologizing and explaining why he had saved her; as a result, when he requested 5 minutes of her time, she didn't even engage him in conversation.
Shalin visits Sumbul in the present to chat with her and asks her about what transpired because their friendship is solid and he means a lot to her. Sumbul acknowledges his importance to her as well before bringing up the nomination. She requests him to stop testing her constantly during the argument, to which Shalin responds by calling her "Abey yedi" and saying she is annoying him. They later hug their differences out and declare that their friendship is much stronger than the minor disagreements. The friendship between Sumbul and Shalin is still strong today, but recently, they had a fallout, like all friendships do, and have argued ever since.
