Bigg Boss 20: Mahhi Vij Brings Up Aamrapali-Nirahua Rumours

Bigg Boss 20’s latest episode took a detour from tasks and kitchen politics into personal territory, after Mahhi Vij used a small gift to steer a conversation toward Aamrapali Dubey’s relationship status and her long-running link-up rumours with Bhojpuri star Dinesh Lal Yadav, better known as Nirahua.

The gamcha that started it all

It began simply enough. Mahhi noticed a gamcha Aamrapali had received and asked who sent it. Aamrapali said it came from her mother and described her life as "bahot boring." When Mahhi asked if there was no boyfriend in the picture, Aamrapali replied that she has been single for years.

Mahhi then made a comment about her weight, suggesting now that Aamrapali has lost weight, a boyfriend would follow. Aamrapali pushed back, saying being plus-size was not the reason she was single and that "there are many people who like motapa."

From single life to Nirahua’s marriage

The chat kept moving. Mahhi asked whether the Bhojpuri film industry had no single men. Aamrapali mentioned Pawan Singh but noted he is going through a divorce and that they do not share a good equation.

Then Mahhi said she had seen Aamrapali with Nirahua and his children in Bandra, and the conversation shifted to his marriage. Aamrapali said Nirahua had an arranged marriage, that his wife is a homemaker, and that he married before he became an actor. When asked if he had girlfriends before, she replied, "Girlfriends toh rahi hi hongi."

Mahhi’s plan comes out

Later, Mahhi told Qazi Touqeer, Gullu and Kanika that she had wanted to raise Aamrapali’s rumoured relationship with Nirahua indirectly. She said she had heard "bahut charche" about them and brought it up in a roundabout way.

That reveal is the real point of the segment: this was not an organic chat about love and marriage. It was an attempt to bring an outside rumour into the house, and it put Aamrapali in the position of answering for her personal life on camera.

Why this matters for Bigg Boss viewers

For viewers who follow Bhojpuri cinema, the Aamrapali-Nirahua pairing is familiar. The two have worked together since the 2014 film Nirahua Hindustani, and their on-screen chemistry and off-screen friendship have kept the rumour mill running for years. Aamrapali has repeatedly said they are close friends.

Before entering the house, she spoke to Times of India TV about the same topic and made a broader point: women face this kind of judgment in many fields, where praise or success gets twisted into something inappropriate. Even if the Bigg Boss edit plays the moment as light-hearted, that context makes the questioning land differently.

Here is the sequence in short:

• A gamcha from Aamrapali’s mother turns into questions about her single status.
• Mahhi comments on her weight, and Aamrapali shuts down the "weight equals no boyfriend" logic.
• The conversation reaches Nirahua’s marriage and alleged past relationships.
• Mahhi later confirms she planned to raise the link-up rumours indirectly.

For fans watching the episode, the moment is less about any new revelation and more about how easily personal-life gossip becomes a task in the Bigg Boss house. Aamrapali held her ground, but the exchange shows what women contestants often have to manage: answering for rumours they did not start.
