This is my ever first update for any show anywhere, so please be patient with my amateur update and over look any mistake, Thank you.
The show starts in it's usual style, where the host Aman Varma welcomes everyone to the first episode of the year. He introduces Jury No. 1 in his same old style and the show begins. The contestants come to the stage with their group performance with the song "Shabe Firaq (Aare Aare)" from the movie Chup Chup Ke. It was a fabulous performance by all 10 of them. Then the judges are asked their opinion about the group dance. First goes Madhur B. , who says the whole performance was a "jalwa". Pooja says that the contestants were covering up each other in the group dance, which was hiding the ones dancing in the back. She added since they were all looking so gorgeous they shouldn't be overlapped by each other and take their proper mark on the dance floor. Anupam Kher starts off by saying that that's what they want to do, which is to overlap each other, and win against each other. But he says that their performance was very nice overall.
Next Aman asks the judges their opinion about friendship and professionalism among the participants, whether they should be friends or they should behave as competitors among themselves. Pooja starts off saying that her whole khandan is in movies and they don't even care if anyone belong to their family or not, because a movie is the most important thing to her family. The medium must be taken more seriously and sincerely than worrying over family or friends, because a stage is everything to an actor. Anupam Kher says that one should behave in a friendly manner off-screen but must be very very professional on-screen. These two images may collide but then again "Dosti imtehan leti hain, dosti jaan leti hain". Madhur says that the participants must take advantage of this platform that has been given to them and make use of it to the highest, which requires them to behave as competitors. Aman thanks the judges for their valuable comments and says that the participants can use this advice to go further ahead in their career.
Next they show a small AVI where all the participants talk about how they are going to tackle the new comers in the show (wild card entries) and how they are preparing themselves.
After the first break Aman starts announcing the result. First up is Kartik from Mumbai. Aman says that Kartik has carried a very strong image so far in this show and impressed the jury all along. But his last week's performance wasn't very satisfactory. And Kartik is in the bottom 3. Next is Prabhjot, he was saved by the jury last time and impressed the jury with his last week's performance. He's absolutely safe. Rohit is next in line, jury wasn't impressed by his performance last week and it was said that his performance lacked energy. Also, the jury thought he was trying to copy SRK in his scene. He's in the bottom 3. Hardik from Chicago, USA is next, the jury wasn't very happy with his work last week where as the jury was very happy with Gaurav's performance. It's a safe card between Hardik and Gaurav, and Gaurav is announced safe. Hardik is in the bottom 3 as well.
Next up are the girls. Meenal and Surod are the first pair, and the jury was impressed by Meenal's performance last week where as Surod didn't impress the jury at all. Both of them are in bottom 3. Chandni is announced absolutely safe. Next up is Kanchan, who was the most controversial participant last week. Even though Anupam Kher and Madhur were very impressed by her performance last week, Pooja Bhatt didn't give her any points due to early controversies. Aman also mentions that Madhur has said that if Kanchan can't be a good actress then she can at least be a very good politician. Rachel is sitting next to Kanchan and she received 30/30 from all three judges last week. It's between Kanchan and Rachel now. Kanchan is shown with crossed finger, closed eyes, saying her prayers and Kanchan is the one who is safe. Rachel goes to bottom 3.
The judges are asked their reaction to the public choice. Madhur says he has mix feelings about it. Pooja comes on very hard saying that public shouldn't be allowed to choose. They are there to watch the movies, not choose the cast or the script. If public is allowed to do that then movies won't be made. Public is supposed to like/dislike a movie, accept/reject an actor/actress. Anupam Kher says that he's upset to see Rachel in the bottom 3 since she received 30/30 last week. This means public don't think that we are know our job here. It's a sad thing that their destiny in this show depends on SMS. Then again this is life, we have to accept it.
First the 3 girls in bottom 3 perform one last time with the song "Ishq Kiya Kiya". Madhur reacts to their dance as a thanda performance. Pooja says don't judge yourself by the SMS result; you know what you have in you. Anupam Kher says it's not fair that after being in the bottom 3 they have to be judged again and keep on smiling. He said he is not going to comment on their performance. Then the 3 boys from bottom 3 dances in the tune of "Ae Meri Zoharajabeen", all Himesh numbers. Madhur reacts saying their performance was a "jalwa" yet again. Pooja says it was very energetic and they were all very good. Anupam Kher says their decision won't be based on this one dance performance but the jury would have to rewind everyone's past performance in their head in order to come to a conclusion.
After the break, the judges' verdict is given.
They save Hardik and Rachel, which was very much expected. 👏
Hardik thanks the jury for saving him, so does Rachel. Next all the safe participants have to choose among the remaining bottom lined boys and girls. For this part I will just put a list of who received vote from whom.

So, Kartik and Meenal are saved by the participants. 👏
Rohit is asked to say a few words, and he thanks the jury for allowing him to show them his talent and for reaching this point in the show. He says even though he is sad for himself, he is very happy as his best friend Kartik gets to stay back in the show. He asks Kartik to come and give him a tight hug. Kartik comes down from the safe pit and gives him a hug. Kartik gets very emotional and says that both Rohit and Surod are "power house of talent" and no one can stop them. Rohit promises to everyone that before this show reaches it's finale, he will be on the silver screen. Surod says that she doesn't have any words to say. She only says even Kartik is my best friend "Mujhe kew nehi gaale lagaiya, maine kya gunah kiya ?" and she laughs. Kartik comes down again and hugs her.
Aman takes Rohit and Surod in the back stage where they have the wall of dreams. Rohit leaves a small statue of Ganpati, which his mother gave him earlier. Surod leaves a board that reads "Always give people more than they expect to get", she says this is her funda in life.
And here they both take leave from the stage of India's Best.😔😔
