Ages are as reported in media coverage and are not all officially confirmed.
A few of them in more detail:
Yung DSA is the stage name of Harsh Vijay Machare, a rapper from Yerwada in Pune who blends Marathi street influences with trap production. His breakthrough track “YEDA YUNG” was released through Divine’s Gully Gang Records in 2024. He was the season’s first House Captain.
ScoutOP is Tanmay Singh, one of the most prominent figures in Indian esports and widely regarded as a pioneer of competitive mobile gaming in India. His casting brought a major gaming name to mainstream television for the first time.
Arishfa Khan started as a child actress before building one of the largest social media followings of any contestant in the house reported at around 29 million.
Love Gill, also known as Lovepreet Gill, entered the house by winning the Fans Ka Faisla public vote against Rhiya Ahir. She made her debut in a Karan Aujla music video before moving into Punjabi films.
Rhiti Tiwari, evicted on Day 28, is a singer-songwriter and the daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari, himself a Bigg Boss 4 contestant.
Every eviction so far
| Day | Housemate | How they left |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Rhiya Ahir | Lost the Fans Ka Faisla public vote to Love Gill and never entered |
| Day 6 | Uditi Singh | Evicted by public vote but used her second life and stayed |
| Day 14 | Rohed Khan | Lost his first life to Kanika, then was the least-voted contestant |
| Week 3 | Isha Rikhi | Evicted at the third Weekend Ka Vaar |
| Week 4, Day 28 (Ep 27) | Rhiti Tiwari | Season’s first mid-week eviction, after losing both lives |
Rohed Khan, 31, is an actor and model born in Afghanistan and based in Austria. Isha Rikhi, 33, is a Punjabi film actress from Chandigarh.
The “Tathas-two” twist explained
This is the season’s defining rule, and it’s why the eviction list looks unusual.
Every housemate entered with two lives. Being voted out doesn’t automatically end your game — it costs you a life. Only when both lives are gone does a contestant actually leave the house.
That’s why Uditi Singh was “evicted” on Day 6 and is now House Captain. She lost a life, not her place.
Lives can also be taken by other housemates through tasks. Rohed Khan lost his first life when Kanika Mann took it during a captaincy task, which left him vulnerable when the public vote went against him.
The theme name is wordplay on “that’s two.”
House captains so far
| Week | Captain |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | None |
| Week 2 | Yung DSA |
| Week 3 | Gullu |
| Week 4 | Gullu |
| Week 5 | Uditi Singh |
Gullu held captaincy for two consecutive weeks, winning the Week 3 task by collecting the most apples after Rhiti Tiwari, Mahhi Vij and Kanika Mann made it through the opening round with him.
Gullu: the two-time reality winner in the house
Kushal Tanwar, known as Gullu, arrived with the strongest reality TV record of anyone in the house. He won MTV Roadies XX: Double Cross representing Elvish Yadav’s gang, then won MTV Splitsvilla X6 with partner Kaira Anu in May 2026, sharing a INR20 lakh prize.
He has also appeared in Maa Hai Na.
Inside the Bigg Boss house he’s been one of the dominant players, taking captaincy twice in a row and using the Week 4 position to recover Kanika’s and Uditi’s lost lives along with 80% of the week’s ration.
Inside the house
The Bigg Boss 20 house sits in Film City, Mumbai, covers roughly 10,000 square feet and uses 104 cameras. Designed by Varsha Jain, it follows a “Wonderland” theme built around duality, with surrealist and animal-inspired elements throughout.
Highlights include a BB Food Truck kitchen, a pink teapot installation used as a throne, a shark-themed swimming pool, a snake-wrapped tree used as seating, and a 17-bed bedroom decorated with scorpion and chameleon motifs.
Two rooms carry secrets: Room 20, which replaced the previous season’s Assembly Room, and Room 2X, which has two differently sized doors.
