With only a couple of weeks left for the finale, recently, contestants fought for a straight ticket to finale task. Contestants Anjali Arora and Shivam Sharma were the last two contenders in the race to win a ticket. There were two teams, namely TEAM ANJALI and TEAM SHIVAM. Anjali had Poonam Pandey, Munawar Faruqui, and Ali Merchant in her team, while Shivam had Payal Rohtagi, Azma Fallah, and Saisha Shinde in his team as soldiers.

As per the task, there were four rounds, and the soldiers had to protect their Raja and Rani. If Raja or Rani falls then the round straight away gets over.
