Bigg Boss Bangla nominations prediction: Dipendu and Jhilam face the closest scrutiny this week

Dipendu Biswas and Jhilam Gupta are the two contestants to watch in Bigg Boss Bangla’s nominations this week. That is a prediction for the week beginning October 5, 2026, not a confirmed list of housemates facing eviction. Last week’s result offers an important distinction: Bharat Kaul, Durnibar Saha, Nandini Dutta, Niranjan Mondal and Rajveer Dey were in danger, but none left the house in the October 4 episode. Their names should not be carried over as though they have automatically been nominated again.

Dipendu and Jhilam make for a particularly close call because neither was among last week’s five nominees. If the housemates turn their attention away from familiar targets, the next vote could look markedly different. But a housemate receiving nominations, making the final eviction list and leaving after a public vote are three separate steps. It is too early to treat any one of those outcomes as settled for either contestant.

Why Dipendu is a name to watch

Dipendu has already faced nomination in earlier rounds this season. His absence from the most recent five-person list therefore does not establish that he is safe in the next one. In a smaller field, a handful of housemates choosing the same person can make an individual nomination more consequential than it was when almost everyone faced the vote.

The case for including him is a cautious one, rather than a claim that a particular alliance has decided to target him. The decisive detail will be how this week’s nomination process works: housemate choices may not be the only factor if the show introduces a task, an exemption or a direct nomination. Until those conditions are clear, Dipendu belongs on a watchlist, not on an asserted eviction ballot.

Why Jhilam could enter the picture

Jhilam is the other leading possibility in this prediction. She was not among last week’s five nominees, so her appearance on a new list would represent a shift in the house’s immediate focus. Whether that happens depends on the votes and any protection available during the nomination round, rather than on how prominently a contestant features in conversations about the show.

There is also a reason not to jump from a possible nomination to an eviction prediction. A nominee’s public support is tested only once the voting choices and window are established. Saying Jhilam could be nominated this week is not the same as saying she would receive fewer votes than Dipendu or anyone else. No such result can be inferred from the previous round, when all five at-risk contestants stayed.

Could last week’s nominees return to the list?

Yes. Durnibar is a plausible alternative to the Dipendu–Jhilam pairing because he has appeared on nomination lists more than once this season. Bharat, Nandini, Niranjan and Rajveer likewise remain possible choices for housemates. The October 4 decision saved them from that week’s exit; it did not grant them continuing immunity.

The nominations have also proved difficult to predict by simply counting recent disagreements. Earlier this season, rule-related decisions and a house task substantially changed who faced eviction. That history matters more than a claim that one conversation or clash guarantees a place on the ballot. This week’s format could narrow the field, protect someone expected to be at risk or bring back a familiar nominee.

For now, the useful answer is a short watchlist: Dipendu Biswas and Jhilam Gupta are the leading picks, with Durnibar Saha a credible alternative. The confirmed names will be the ones announced through the show’s nomination process. Until then, last week’s five-person list is a record of a completed round, not this week’s result.
