Host Srimukhi kicked off Episode 13 of Bigg Boss Agnipariksha Season 2 by welcoming the jury members for a packed “Real or Fake” themed task day. Yellow card holders Rohith, Ramakrishna, Shristi, and Gayatri stood on stage to face the initial test of trust, exchanging sharp accusations about who among them was authentic and who was playing a game.
The Blind Card & The Race for Leadership
Tension escalated early as the host unveiled the power of Bhagi Tulluri’s Blind Card: the ability to steal half the total points from any opposing team.
Following a quick lemon-catching challenge featuring Bhagi, Aman, Deepak, Rajkumari, and Ramakrishna, the house moved into the leadership selection tasks:
- The Potato Sack Test: Contestants had to identify who was holding real weighted sacks. Mithilesh guessed incorrectly on Rajkumari, making Rajkumari the first team leader. Shristi correctly identified Ramakrishna’s bag as fake, securing the second leadership spot for Shristi.
- The Juice vs. Vinegar Challenge: Deepak, Aman, and Bhagi drank mystery liquids. Rohith wrongly guessed Deepak was drinking vinegar when it was actually Aman, making Aman the third team leader.
Team Formations & Straw Draw
A straw-pulling round determined each leader’s team size. Aman pulled the longest straw (6-member team), Rajkumari drew the middle straw (5-member team), and Shristi pulled the shortest straw (4-member team, with the advantage of handpicking her squad).
- Team Shristi: Shristi, Rohith, Deepak, RJ Charan
- Team Rajkumari: Rajkumari, Mithilesh, Jhansi, Priyanka, Bhagi
- Team Aman: Aman, Gayatri, Ramakrishna, Shalini, Apoorva, Hemanth
Before the main task began, Bhagi locked in her Blind Card target, choosing to steal half of Team Aman’s total points at the end of the round.
‘Real or Fake’ Main Tasks: How the Rounds Unfolded
Round 1: Taller Man Behind the Wall Challenge: Shristi, Shalini, and Bhagi stepped up for the opening round, where their task was to correctly identify the taller man standing behind a partition wall. Shristi made the accurate call while Shalini and Bhagi guessed wrong. By winning this challenge, Shristi secured the upper hand and eliminated Gayatri from Team Aman.
Round 2: Real vs. Fake Croissant Test: Deepak, Apoorva, and Mithilesh went head-to-head in a visual food identification test to determine which croissant was real and which was fake. Mithilesh and Apoorva both spotted the real pastry successfully, while Deepak missed the mark. Because of Deepak’s incorrect guess, RJ Charan was eliminated from Team Shristi.
Round 3: Real vs. Fake Magician Showdown: Aman, Jhansi, and Rohith took the stage to evaluate two performers and identify the genuine magician from the imposter. All three contestants demonstrated sharp observation and picked the right answer, resulting in every team earning valuable points for the round.
Round 4: Real vs. Fake Doughnut Challenge: Shristi, Ramakrishna, and Priyanka competed in another deceptive food test, where they had to distinguish an authentic doughnut from a replica. Displaying keen attention to detail, all three participants guessed correctly, allowing all competing teams to add points to their tallies.
Round 5: Real vs. Fake Classical Dancer Trial: Deepak, Rajkumari, and Hemanth faced a cultural performance challenge to identify the genuine classical dancer among two options. Each contestant made the right determination, ensuring that every team walked away with points from this round.

The trio maintained the day’s winning streak by all guessing the correct flower, leading to another sweep of points across all teams.
Round 7: The Mother Identification Mystery. In the final challenge of the day, Shristi, Jhansi, and Ramakrishna were tasked with identifying the real mother of a baby standing in front of two women, alongside an appearance by a relative of Navdeep.
