Quick Answer
Arishfa Khan — the last confirmed captain
Arishfa Khan is the last confirmed captain of Bigg Boss 20 (Week 10). She became captain after a unanimous housemate vote in Episode 61 — the earlier 2X Room captaincy vote had only been reported before that confirmation. As captain she was immune in Week 10 while all 10 other housemates were nominated.
Her captaincy ended in Episode 67 (aired 11 November 2026), when Bigg Boss removed her as captain after housemates broke several rules and announced a new captaincy task in the same episode. The next captain is yet to be decided — no successor has been named as of 12 November 2026. This page is a living page: it is refreshed when a new captain is confirmed on air.
Captain History · This Season
Every Captain of Bigg Boss 20 So Far
Every captain the site's records establish, in order. One honest note: the table does not claim to be a complete week-by-week list — the captain for some early weeks is not recorded in the site's data, and Mahhi Vij's week number is not pinned in the records, so her row gives the date instead. Nothing here is guessed.

 Yung DSA |
Week 1 | First captain of the season (site records). |
 Aasif Khan |
Week 5 | Captained in Week 5 (site records). |

 Mahhi Vij |
23 Oct 2026 | Qazi won the captaincy task round on 23 October and declared Mahhi the new captain, succeeding Scout (her record). The week number is not pinned in the site's records. |
 Kanika Mann |

What the Captain Gets
What the captain actually gets
The captain's biggest advantage is simple: immunity from that week's nominations. Arishfa Khan was immune in Week 10 while every other housemate was nominated — that is the protection the captaincy buys.
The captain also gets a direct say in nominations. Kanika Mann used a captain's power to nominate Mahhi Vij directly in Episode 58, and Arishfa Khan used her captain's power to nominate Scout directly in Episode 66. Beyond that, the exact powers and duties vary by task and are announced by Bigg Boss on the show each week — this page lists only what the season itself has shown.
The New Captain
A new captain is coming — who will it be?
Episode 67 (aired 11 November) removed Arishfa as captain and announced a new captaincy task, as covered in Times Now's episode highlights. No new captain has been named, and this page names none.
