Mumbai, Dec 22 (IANS): Actress Isha Malviya has taken the captaincy baton from Munawar Faruqui in ‘Bigg Boss 17’ after winning a task in the controversial reality show.

After much tussle, Team B won the task with two boxes of apples, Team A’s boxes were rejected in the quality check segment of the task. Aishwarya demanded a recheck of the first approved boxes, but Munawar rejected the plea.
