Bigg Boss 20 Contestants List with Photos, Age, Bio & Journey So Far

Gullu came in as one of reality television's form players, with back-to-back reality wins giving him a ready fanbase. His long friendship with Roadies gang leader Elvish Yadav, the Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, has been a talking point in the house, and Elvish publicly backed him after his clash with wild card Nakul Dhull — the altercation after which Nakul was removed in Week 6. Nominated again in Week 7, Gullu's survival depends on whether his reality-show fanbase converts into Bigg Boss support. Note: his exact date of birth is not reliably verified; secondary profiles give a birth year of 1999, so his age is shown as approximate.

Qazi is the son of Mushtaq Ahmed Qazi, a lawyer who later embraced Sufism, and Syeda Rukhsana, a school teacher; his uncle Qazi Rafi is a well-known Kashmiri singer and his younger brother is entrepreneur Qazi Touseef. Inside the house he has been emotional, musical and confrontational in turn: a clash with Scout, a friendship with Mahhi Vij that cracked in Episode 47 over his closeness with Arishfa Khan and Uditi Singh, an apology to Aasif Khan over a remark Aasif took personally, and then winning the 23 October captaincy task round and handing the captaincy to Mahhi. Qazi kept his personal life private for years; in the house he revealed he married during Covid in 2020. His wife Ifsa (also spelt Hifza/Hifsa in reports) is a dentist nine years younger than him. Circulating photos said to be of his wife remain unverified.

Scout's personal life has become the season's biggest outside-the-house storyline. He has said in the house that he has been in a relationship for around five years with gaming creator Kaashvi Hiranandani, known as KaashPlays (born 28 April 1997, Mumbai, age 29 — a streamer who moved from a finance career into gaming and was named Female Streamer of the Year at the Indian Gaming Awards 2022). Scout has discussed a difficult past relationship and spoken of marriage plans, saying Kaashvi wants to be financially independent first. That is now colliding with his on-screen bond with Love Gill, which both describe as a brother-sister bond but which guest host Rohit Shetty questioned in Weekend Ka Vaar promos, and with Kaashvi's reported Weekend Ka Vaar appearance, in which she is reported to tell him she is finding it difficult to defend him.

Born to Mangte Tonpa Kom and Mangte Akham Kom, Mary Kom took up boxing after being inspired by Dingko Singh's 1998 Asian Games gold and initially hid it from her father. Her stint also brought controversy, including backlash over a remark about fellow Indian sportswomen, after which her team apologised and said her words were misunderstood. She was nominated in Week 7 alongside Arishfa Khan, Uditi Singh, Manish Goel, Aamrapali Dubey, Love Gill and Gullu. On 24 October, ABP Live reported that she had been eliminated after reportedly receiving the fewest votes, with her exit expected to feature in an upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode. That elimination is now CONFIRMED: guest host Rohit Shetty announced it on Saturday's Weekend Ka Vaar (24 October), after Mary Kom lost both her lifelines, with housemates singing 'You Are A Champion' as she left (Republic World, 25 October; Times of India, 24 October).

This season's early game was structured around 'lives' and lifelines, and Yung's Week 1 captaincy shaped it. Reporting early in the season said Yung and Scout approached Qazi in the first two weeks to plan together; Qazi says he chose to stay away and play his own game — a small detail that explains a lot about the house's shifting groups. Yung was among the housemates knocked out of the captaincy race in the volatile 23 October task. His youth and hip-hop community support remains his core audience base. His exact age and date of birth are not reliably verified, so no precise age is published here.

Kanika's route into acting was not straightforward: her father initially opposed acting and wanted her to pursue law — she completed the law degree, then acting won, and he later helped her with her first audition. On entering, she received a 'Puppet Master' power to influence later entrants. Inside the house she has been competitive and emotionally direct, was praised by Salman Khan in Week 5 Weekend Ka Vaar coverage, took a life from Rohed Khan in the Week 2 sequence that preceded his eviction, and featured in Episode 47's key Scout conversation — teasing him about not knowing his girlfriend's birthday, a clip that fed the wider Kaashvi story.

That regional audience is Aamrapali's Bigg Boss superpower: few housemates can match the loyalty of the Bhojpuri belt when she is nominated — and she is nominated in Week 7, on the same list from which Mary Kom was evicted (confirmed on air 24 October). Inside the house her journey has been less about engineered controversy and more about presence in daily life and group equations, including light-hearted kitchen-duty moments in the 23 October episode while the captaincy battle raged around her. Her birthday is 11 January; the birth year (1987) comes from secondary profiles rather than a primary source, so her age is shown with that caution.

Aasif is the son of the late Ayyub Khan and Firdous Khan, and married Zeba on 10 December 2024 in Mumbai. He won the first round of the Episode 47 captaincy-contenders task, knocking Qazi and Gullu out of that race. October also brought a serious personal story into the open: reporting on 23 October, attributed to his wife Zeba, said Aasif had previously suffered a major heart attack, which he had earlier described publicly as acid reflux. A remark by Qazi in a house argument was taken by Aasif as a reference to that history; Qazi apologised and clarified it was not directed at him. That health detail is reported here only as attributed reporting.

Mahhi married actor Jay Bhanushali in 2011; they have a daughter, Tara (born 2019), and foster children Khushi and Rajveer. In Episode 47, Mahhi confronted Qazi over his loyalty after seeing him with Uditi Singh and Arishfa Khan, saying she felt used; Qazi disagreed and chose not to talk it through at that point. Yet on 23 October it was Qazi who won the captaincy task round and declared Mahhi the new captain, succeeding Scout. As captain going into Weekend Ka Vaar, every duty allocation and every defence of her friends will now be read as captaincy, not just personality.

Arishfa reportedly became interested in acting while accompanying her mother, who worked as a stunt performer, to shoots. In the house she has fought against being dismissed as 'bacchi' (a child) — a running tension for the youngest housemate. She is nominated in Week 7, was at the centre of a captaincy-task flashpoint in Episode 47 reporting, and her closeness with Qazi and Uditi Singh is the trigger Mahhi cited in the Episode 47 confrontation that cracked the Mahhi–Qazi friendship.

Aman's Week 3 move in the luxury-ration sequence, taking a life from Yung DSA, showed a willingness to play tactically, and inside the house he built a close friendship group with Uditi Singh and Arishfa Khan. On 23 October he had to clarify, after a viral photo of him holding a UNO 'wild' card caused re-entry rumours, that it was a joke at a podcast interview — he is not re-entering as a wild card. His exact age and date of birth are not reliably verified, so no precise age is published here.

With only two weeks on screen, Rohed never had time to build the alliances or the audience narrative that might have saved him, and he remains the clearest reminder that, in this lives-based format, an unfamiliar face plus an early nomination can end a journey before it starts. His exact age and date of birth are not reliably verified, so no precise age is published here.

Isha's eviction, following Rohed Khan's in Week 2, established the early pattern of the season: the first month belonged to the reality-show and digital fanbases, and film faces without a television or social-media voting machine behind them went home first. Her exact age and date of birth are not reliably verified, so no precise age is published here.

In the Weekend Ka Vaar promo reported on 24 October, Rohit Shetty is reported to tell Love Gill and Scout that physical closeness including massages is 'looking absolutely wrong' from outside. Earlier house coverage also had the makers warning the pair, and Scout reflecting that being in a committed relationship makes house attachments harder. How Love answers on Weekend Ka Vaar — and whether the Fans Ka Faisla audience still backs Love — may decide both survival this week and the wider Kaashvi storyline. Love Gill's exact age and date of birth are not reliably verified, so no precise age is published here.

Reports in early October that Rhiti had been sent to a secret room and would return were subsequently reported as false. Her profession and family background were corrected in this update: season reporting identifies her as a singer-composer and Manoj Tiwari's daughter, not primarily as a dance/lifestyle creator as the old page claimed. Her exact age and date of birth are not reliably verified, so no precise age is published here.

Uditi has played much of the season inside a friendship group with Arishfa Khan and, until his eviction, Aman Gandhi, and her closeness with Arishfa and with Qazi is the specific trigger Mahhi cited in the Episode 47 friendship crack with Qazi. She also won a round of the Episode 47 captaincy-contenders task, removing Yung and Scout from that race. Her exact age and date of birth are not reliably verified, so no precise age is published here.

Manish arrived under a playful cover story, telling housemates he was there to promote a project, before Salman Khan revealed the 'project' was Bigg Boss itself. He is married to actress Poonam Narula (married 2002); they have two children, Aryaveer and Maliha, were runners-up on Nach Baliye 1 together, and he won Welcome – Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki in 2013. In the house, the veteran has had to build bonds from zero against groups formed over five weeks, and he is nominated in Week 7. In the 24 October Weekend Ka Vaar, the Times of India reported that Manish lost a lifeline in the same twist that ended Mary Kom's journey, so he survives with less room for error. No /assets/bb20/ portrait exists for Manish yet, so his card deliberately shows a placeholder instead of another housemate's image.

The reported altercation drew public support for Gullu from Elvish Yadav, Maxtern and Karan Kundrra in outside coverage. Season fact-checking coverage also flagged an earlier viral claim that Nakul was thrown out on Day 1 after a fight with Gullu as unverified and single-source — that rumour should not be confused with the reported Week 6 removal, and is not published here as fact. No reliable age, date of birth or hometown source was found for Nakul in this audit, so none is published. No /assets/bb20/ portrait exists for Nakul, so his card deliberately shows a placeholder instead of another housemate's image.
