The episode kicked off with Rohit Shetty inviting stand-up comedian Pranit More for a special roast segment. Pranit delivered sharp one-liners about Rohit’s films, stunts, and explosions, even joking about why each contestant deserved a role in a Rohit Shetty production.
The filmmaker sportingly told Pranit he had a “free pass,” resulting in comedy gold that left both Rohit and the housemates laughing throughout.
