Bigg Boss 20: Nakul Dhull’s wildcard entry sparks backlash online

Bigg Boss 20 is set to add a fresh twist in its fifth week, and the conversation has already moved beyond the game.

Nakul Dhull, a social media creator also known as Mitthu Don, is expected to enter the house as a wildcard alongside Manish Goel during Weekend Ka Vaar. Filmibeat first reported the development, citing a reliable industry source.

“Things are about to get spicier and edgier with the entry of wildcard contestants in Bigg Boss 20,” the source told Filmibeat.

Who is Nakul Dhull?

Dhull is a content creator and influencer who has built his audience around memes on Instagram and YouTube. Unlike a daily soap face, he comes from the sarcastic comedy space, which could bring a very different energy to the house.

But his rumoured casting has brought an old clip back into circulation, and that is where the trouble starts.

Why the backlash is growing

In the viral video, Dhull makes a crude remark about chasing a girl late at night and scaring her. The comment has been widely called out as misogynistic, and criticism has spread beyond the clip itself. A Reddit thread was created specifically to slam the remark after his Bigg Boss 20 connection started doing the rounds.

For a show that thrives on personality, the backlash puts Dhull in an unusual position: he is being discussed more for what he said off the show than for what he might do inside it.

What we know so far

• The expected entrants: Nakul Dhull and Manish Goel.
• The timing: The fifth week, during Weekend Ka Vaar.
• The flashpoint: Dhull’s old comments about women resurfacing after his name leaked.
• The response: Social media criticism and a Reddit thread slamming the remark.

Bigg Boss has a long tradition of wildcard entries changing the game mid-season. The two names suggest the makers want to mix different kinds of followers and fanbases. But online history now travels into the house faster than ever, and viewers are quick to dig up old clips the moment a new name is attached to the show.

What to watch now

Wildcard entries are designed to break existing equations, and two new contestants should do exactly that. The question is whether Dhull’s arrival will be framed as comedy, confrontation, or something he has to answer for.

As of now, the makers have not issued an official confirmation, so treat the names as strong indications rather than a final lineup. If Dhull does walk in, he will enter with a section of the audience already watching him closely.
