The wait is finally over, and India’s biggest reality television show is back with a bang! Hosted by superstar Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 20 premiered on September 6, 2026, bringing together an eclectic mix of champions, actors, musicians, and digital creators. The drama inside the house intensified almost immediately, with the season witnessing its very first eviction nominations within the debut week.
If you missed the explosive episode that aired on September 8, here are all the details on who got nominated, the intense captaincy task, and the fights that are already dividing the house.
Who is Nominated for Eviction in Week 1?
During the first nomination process, housemates were asked to vote for the contestants they believed should be eliminated. Tensions ran high as early alliances and friendships were put to the test.
Following the voting process, four contestants found themselves in the danger zone for the first week’s eviction:
- Kanika Mann
- Uditi Singh
- Love Gill
- Arishfa Khan
Arishfa Khan was notably upset after the task, realizing she had been nominated by someone she considered a close friend, highlighting just how quickly equations can shift inside the Bigg Boss house.
The “2X Room” Task: Lifelines Snatched
A major twist in the nomination process was the introduction of the “2X Room.”
Each housemate was granted two lifelines. The contestants were presented with two doors during a crucial task:
- The ‘2’ Door: Granted an extra lifeline.
- The ‘X’ Door: Allowed a contestant to strip another housemate of one lifeline.
The housemates largely opted for the ‘X’ door, directly impacting the nominations:
- Aasif Khan chose to take away Arishfa’s lifeline.
- Kushal Tanwar (Gullu) took away Uditi’s lifeline.
- Yung DSA targeted Kanika, taking away her lifeline.

The Race for the First Captain of Bigg Boss 20
While the nominations brought the heat, the fight for power set the stage for fierce competition. A ‘bitter-sweet’ cake game was introduced to determine the contenders for the season’s first captaincy.
Three finalists emerged from the grueling task to battle for the coveted captain’s title:
- Yung DSA
- Aasif Khan
- Kushal Tanwar (aka Gullu)
The captaincy challenge was far from smooth. Tempers flared between Yung DSA and Qazi Ahmad Tauqeer, leading to a heated argument that quickly escalated during the task.
Major Fights of the Week: Arishfa vs. Aamrapali
It isn’t Bigg Boss without a massive verbal showdown. The first week saw a massive confrontation between digital creator Arishfa Khan and Bhojpuri star Aamrapali Dubey. Arishfa called out Aamrapali for repeatedly addressing her using the word “bacha” (kid).
Arishfa strongly objected, stating that she is an adult and refuses to be treated like a child. Aamrapali refused to back down, leading to a tense exchange. The fight widened when actress Mahhi Vij stepped in, questioning Arishfa for calling the rest of the housemates “hypocrites,” adding more fuel to the fire.
