  • ^7 : On Day 15 during third week nomination, Bigg Boss announced that all the housemates can come to a conclusion and grant 2 Deluxe room housemates an exemption from public voting. Hence they choose Dhiwagar and FJ to be exempt.
  • ^8 : Since Praveen and Subiksha received the most coins in the Bigg Boss juice factory task in their own respective teams, they were granted exemption in week 4's nomination process
  • ^9 : Since Praveen was not able to be granted 2 powers which included the nomination free pass and captaincy, Bigg Boss announced that he should grant either his immunity to a co housemate and he chose to grant the free-pass to Kani, hence Kani was granted an exemption in week 4's nomination process
