Day 81 opens with the peppy number from 'Student of The Year' - 'Disco Deewane' - putting the housemates in a celebratory mood. Surprisingly, Priya takes to speaking ill about her 'friend' Rishabh to Suyyash, Kishwer and Nora. They speak about how he swears at the other housemates and that his violent behaviour with Priya during the jewel thief task was not appropriate. When Priya confronts Rishabh about the swearing, all housemates take Priya's side.
Later, Bigg Boss asks the winner team of the jewel thief task - Rochelle, Kishwer, Prince and Priya - to mutually nominate two contestants for captainship. When all four fail to arrive at a consensus, they decide to pick up chits to decide the two contenders. Eventually, Prince and Rochelle face off during the captaincy task and the two contenders have to convince the housemates to support them. The housemates have to hook themselves up to the housemate they believe is deserving for the captainship and form a chain with the help of belts.
In the evening, the housemates walk into the garden to find the atmosphere set to bring in the New Year. 'Balika Vadhu' fame Sidharth Shukla receives a warm welcome from the housemates as he enters the house and introduces the 'Snapdeal Full On Fashion' New Year event. As the host of the event, he introduces set of awards and also says that he is here to update them about the world of TV outside. He reveals a television made out of cardboard with Gutthi standing inside the box. Spewing hilarity, Gutthi announces the news in a funny way. In her flirtatiously desperate manner, she ends the news by saying that Bigg Boss has confirmed that if Gutthi agrees to marry him, he will reveal his face.
The awards night begins and a slew of fun awards are given away. The first award - Kehna Kya Chahti Ho award - is a tie between Rochelle, Mandana and Nora - and Gutthi gifts them a long tie. The second award is the Bhukkad award and Rishabh and Prince tie for the award, The housemates vote Rishabh for the award. Gutthi brings out a cake and smashes it on Rishabh's face and runs out. After giving Priya the Kaano Ka Khooni award, the Chor award is given to Mandana. Taking it in her stride, she says, "Mein chor hoon, lekin dil ka chor!" After giving her the award, Sidharth asks Mandana for a dance. After giving the sidekick award to Rishabh, 'Naagin' fame Adaa Khan enters the house and puts up an entertaining performance for the housemates on 'Mera Naam Mary Hai' and 'Tukur Tukur'.
Later, Gutthi re-enters the house and entertains the housemates with her typical antics. She says that she is there because she wants to find a boyfriend. She says that Bigg Boss has his eyes on her. In a funny twist of events Bigg Boss announces, "Mein Tumse Jodi nahi banana chahata, Gutthi!" She then calls Prince to the stage trying to impress him and does a belly dance face-off with Nora.
After announcing the three couples as the nominees for the 'Best Jodi' award, the award finally goes to Prince and Suyyash. Both of them bromance to 'Meri Aashiqui Tum Hi Ho'. While the 'Tu Bahar Mil Mein Batata Hoon' award goes to Rishabh and the 'Double Standard' award goes to Mandana, the 'Bigg Boss Pe Boj' award is a tie between Mandana and Suyyash. Keith and Rochelle receive the Fashionable Male and Fashionable Female award. Keith and Rishabh also try to woo Gutthi to the number 'Tumhe Apna Banane Ka'.
Once Bigg Boss wishes the housemates, Gutthi and Sidharth a very Happy New Year, the entertaining night draws to an end.
