Kanika Mann – A personal conversation inside the Bigg Boss 20 house took an emotional turn when actress Kanika Mann spoke about her first relationship and the abusive behaviour she experienced during her college years. While sitting with Qazi Touqeer, Manish Goyal, Asif Khan and Gullu, Kanika recalled how her former boyfriend allegedly slapped her in front of other students, damaged her phone and later threatened and intimidated her. She also described the frightening incident that finally prompted her to seek police assistance. Her account brought attention to the importance of recognising abusive behaviour and finding support when a relationship becomes unsafe.
How a College Relationship Turned Abusive
The conversation began when Qazi Touqeer suggested that everyone share memories of their college romances. Responding to his question, Kanika opened up about a relationship she had entered after moving to Chandigarh for higher studies.
She explained that she had not been in a relationship until Class 12. However, the transition to college life gave her a sense of independence. Seeing other hostel students spending long hours talking to their partners made her curious about dating. She eventually created a Facebook account and started communicating with a boy who showed interest in her.
Kanika said she did not think carefully about the relationship before accepting him as her boyfriend. With time, however, his behaviour became controlling and abusive. She recalled that he would sometimes turn up at her classroom without informing her, making her uncomfortable.
Boyfriend Allegedly Slapped Her in Front of Students
Recalling one particularly disturbing incident, Kanika said her boyfriend became angry because she had worn a suit with straps. According to her account, he slapped her in a college corridor in front of other students.
The incident became even more distressing because she had recently got an upper-ear piercing. She said the slap caused bleeding around the newly pierced area.
Kanika further alleged that her boyfriend took her mobile phone and smashed it on the floor during the confrontation. He also threw away the key to her hostel room, adding to the distress she was already experiencing.
She said the man threatened to contact her father and insisted that she accompany him. He eventually called her father, although the call was not answered. Looking back, Kanika said she wished her father had picked up because his involvement might have helped her get away from the situation sooner.
Threats and Blackmail Made the Situation Worse
Kanika told the housemates that her former boyfriend continued to pressure and blackmail her. When Manish Goyal asked how she eventually ended the relationship, she described an incident that became the turning point.
According to Kanika, the man followed her from the hostel towards her college department. When she was entering the building, he allegedly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
She said he was wearing a hoodie and had a knife hidden inside it. He then took out the knife and began inflicting deep injuries on his own hand. Given his earlier behaviour, Kanika feared that he might also attack her.
Police Intervention Helped Her Escape
Kanika recalled that another student, whom she identified as Arjun, happened to pass by during the incident. She asked him to call the police, and he immediately contacted the authorities.
She also alleged that her former boyfriend pulled her hair and made threatening remarks during the confrontation. When the police arrived within a short time, the man appeared frightened, giving Kanika the confidence to explain what had happened.
She told the housemates that she finally shared the details of his behaviour with the police. According to her account, that intervention helped her break away from the relationship.
Housemates Listen to Kanika’s Account
The revelation left the conversation among the contestants focused on Kanika’s difficult college experience. What began as a casual discussion about first love turned into a serious account of controlling behaviour, intimidation and personal safety.
Her story also highlighted how abusive relationships can begin without obvious warning signs and gradually become more dangerous. Seeking help from trusted people and contacting authorities when facing threats can be crucial in such situations.
Conclusion
Kanika Mann’s account on Bigg Boss 20 revealed a painful chapter from her college years. She described alleged physical abuse, threats, blackmail and an incident involving a knife that eventually led her to seek police help. By sharing the experience with fellow contestants, Kanika brought attention to the importance of recognising unhealthy relationships and speaking up when personal safety is at risk.
