The latest episode of the popular reality show ‘Bigg Boss 20’ aired on September 9, 2026, showcasing a dramatic captaincy task that sparked fierce confrontations among contestants. This week also marked the first nominations for eviction, with Kanika Mann, Uditi Singh, Love Preet Gill, and Arishfa Khan facing the threat of elimination.
In the captaincy race, Kushal Tanwar (Gullu), Asif Khan, and Young DSA were given a special advantage before competing. They were taken to a unique “2X room,” where they faced a crucial decision: to either gain an extra lifeline or take one away from another contestant. Each housemate had two lifelines, leading to a strategic choice. Ultimately, Asif opted to take Arishfa’s lifeline, Gullu chose Uditi’s, and Young targeted Kanika’s.
Following this twist, nominations took place, resulting in Love, Arishfa, Kanika, and Uditi being put at risk of eviction. The episode also featured a heated altercation between Arishfa Khan and Aamrapali Dubey. Arishfa became upset after being called a “child,” asserting that she should not be treated like one, as she is an adult.
The conflict intensified when Aamrapali stood her ground, prompting Mahi Vij to intervene and question Arishfa’s remarks about the other housemates. Despite the tension, Arishfa was later seen apologizing to Aamrapali.
‘Bigg Boss’ is the Indian Hindi-language version of the international franchise, airing on Colors TV. This season’s theme, ‘Tathastu,’ offers contestants two lifelines to help them stay competitive in the game.
The season’s house was designed by Varsha Jain, featuring a theme inspired by ‘Civilization’ and a fantasy world. Approximately 16 to 17 well-known personalities have entered the house, including Mahi Vij, Aamrapali Dubey, Aman Gandhi, Mary Kom, Kanika Mann, Esha Rikhie, Arishfa Khan, Kushal Tanwar (Gullu), and Kazi Taukeer.
