When Tempers Flared: 5 Bigg Boss Contestants Who Were Evicted for Physical Violence

With Bigg Boss 20 streaming on JioHotstar and airing on COLORS, the reported eviction of wildcard contestant Nakul Dhull following an alleged physical altercation with fellow housemate Gullu has once again brought the show’s strict rules against physical violence into focus. Over the years, the Bigg Boss house has witnessed several confrontations that escalated beyond verbal arguments, resulting in contestants being removed from the show. From a fight during a task to an argument that ended with a frying pan being used as a weapon, here are five contestants whose journeys were affected by physical altercations inside the house.

1. Nakul Dhull – Bigg Boss 20
A wildcard entry reportedly cut short following a clash with Gullu

Nakul Dhull’s journey in Bigg Boss 20 reportedly took a dramatic turn shortly after his wildcard entry. The content creator allegedly got into a physical altercation with fellow contestant Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, following a disagreement involving Qazi Touqeer and Scout OP.

The confrontation reportedly began during a discussion involving Qazi and Nakul. After Gullu intervened in an attempt to calm the situation, an argument allegedly broke out between him and Nakul. The disagreement escalated into pushing and shoving, and other housemates reportedly stepped in to separate the two. Nakul was subsequently reported to have been asked to leave the house following the altercation, just a day after his wildcard entry. However, the makers had not officially confirmed his eviction at the time of publication, so the development should be treated as reported rather than officially established.

2. Sunny Arya (Tehelka Bhai) — Bigg Boss 17
A confrontation with Abhishek Kumar led to his eviction

Sunny Arya, popularly known as Tehelka Bhai, was removed from Bigg Boss 17 following a physical confrontation with Abhishek Kumar.

The incident began when Arun Mashettey confronted Isha Malviya over sleeping during the day. Abhishek intervened because he objected to the way Arun was speaking to Isha. As the argument between Abhishek and Arun escalated, Sunny stepped in to support his close friend. The confrontation then turned physical, with Sunny grabbing Abhishek’s vest and getting into a scuffle with him. The incident prompted Bigg Boss to take action. Sunny was subsequently informed that he was being eliminated for breaking a crucial house rule. His eviction was particularly emotional for Arun, who shared a close friendship with him inside the house.

3. Madhurima Tuli — Bigg Boss 13
The frying-pan incident that ended her stint

Madhurima Tuli’s journey on Bigg Boss 13 was marked by repeated confrontations with her former partner and fellow contestant Vishal Aditya Singh. Their complicated equation frequently led to arguments, with tensions escalating during several exchanges inside the house.

One confrontation became a turning point when Madhurima hit Vishal with a frying pan, leaving him injured. This was not the first physical altercation between the two: Madhurima had previously hit Vishal with her slippers during another argument. Host Salman Khan had already warned them about their behaviour, but the confrontations continued. Following the frying-pan incident, Salman asked Madhurima to leave the show as punishment for her violent behaviour. Unlike contestants who were later brought back after an initial eviction, Madhurima’s departure marked the end of her journey in that season.

4. Archana Gautam — Bigg Boss 16
A heated argument with Shiv Thakare escalated into a physical fight

Archana Gautam’s journey on Bigg Boss 16 came to an abrupt halt after an argument with fellow contestant Shiv Thakare turned physical.

The confrontation reportedly intensified during a heated exchange between the two. Archana lost her temper, threatened to slap Shiv and subsequently got physical with him, holding him by the neck during the altercation. The incident prompted Bigg Boss to intervene, and Archana was evicted from the house for violating the show’s rules against physical violence. Her eviction sparked a strong reaction among viewers, and her absence from the house did not last long. Archana returned to the show a few days later, making her removal and subsequent re-entry one of the season’s major talking points.

5. Zeeshan Khan — Bigg Boss OTT Season 1
A task-related fight with Pratik Sehajpal resulted in his exit

Zeeshan Khan’s journey on Bigg Boss OTT ended after a physical confrontation with Pratik Sehajpal during a task to select the next Boss Man and Boss Lady.

The altercation occurred during the contestants’ participation in the task, when an argument between Zeeshan and Pratik escalated. The situation grew increasingly heated, and Zeeshan pushed Pratik during the confrontation. Other contestants tried to intervene as the fight intensified, prompting Bigg Boss to step in. Zeeshan was subsequently asked to leave the house for getting physical with Pratik. His eviction also deeply affected his connection, Divya Agarwal, who was seen breaking down as he departed. The incident became one of the season’s most talked-about moments and reinforced the consequences of physical aggression inside the house.

From Nakul Dhull’s reported confrontation in Bigg Boss 20 to the incidents involving Sunny Arya, Madhurima Tuli, Archana Gautam and Zeeshan Khan, these moments demonstrate how quickly disagreements inside the house can escalate. While each incident unfolded under different circumstances, physical altercations had serious consequences for the contestants involved, including eviction and, in some cases, a subsequent return.

As the situation surrounding Nakul’s reported exit develops, viewers will be watching for an official announcement and its impact on the dynamics inside the house.
