Bigg Boss 20: Nakul Dhull Loses a Life, Not His Spot
Reports say Bigg Boss 20 makers spared wildcard Nakul Dhull after his fight with Gullu and docked one of his Tathastu lives instead.

Bigg Boss 20 has its first big rulebook flashpoint of the wildcard stint. After new entrants Nakul Dhull and Kushal Tanwar, better known as Gullu, came to blows inside the house, social media quickly began asking whether Nakul would be sent home. The short answer, at least for now, is no; the longer answer is that the show may have reached for a very different punishment.
As per an India Forums report, a source close to the show has said the makers have decided not to evict the social media influencer. Instead, they have reportedly taken away one of his lives under the season’s Tathastu theme and issued a strict warning. The same report adds that any repeat of the behaviour could lead to immediate eviction.
What happened between Nakul Dhull and Gullu?
The argument between the two wildcard contestants escalated into a physical altercation, with fellow housemates stepping in to separate them. A promo for the upcoming episode hinted at Bigg Boss pulling up the contestants over the rule violation, which only added to the eviction chatter. Nakul had entered the show as a wildcard just days before the clash, so his run was already under scrutiny.
Right after the fight, several reports suggested he may have been asked to leave. That is the part viewers should treat with care: no official confirmation has come from the makers yet.
The reported penalty: one life, not an exit
The latest report indicates the punishment will be more structured. Here is where things stand:
- Eviction: not happening as of now, according to the source.
- Life lost: one of Nakul’s lives has reportedly been deducted.
- Warning: a repeat could mean immediate exit from the house.
The season’s Tathastu theme is key here. As described by the report, it gives contestants a route to stay in the game after a setback, and docking a life fits that format. It also means this decision, if confirmed, becomes a precedent for how the show handles the next major violation.
Gullu’s team is not satisfied
Meanwhile, Kushal Tanwar’s team has taken a harder line. In a statement, they referred to Nakul as a “goon” and called for his immediate eviction. “Bigg Boss is a show, not a place where people should be allowed to threaten or physically attack others,” the statement read in part.
That is the central tension for fans: should Bigg Boss stick with its reported Tathastu punishment, or treat physical violence as an automatic red card? The show’s own message has historically been strict about physical altercations, so viewers will be watching the next episode to see whether the makers confirm the reported softer route or change course.
What to watch next
Until the makers confirm the penalty, the safest reading is that reports have spared Nakul an eviction, not the show. Keep an eye on the official Bigg Boss 20 handles and the upcoming episode. If he stays, the next question is whether the warning actually changes his approach in the house or simply delays a bigger confrontation.
