Bigg Boss 20 took an emotional turn this week. An old video of Sidharth Shukla left several contestants in tears inside the house. The moment came right after the show named Young DSA as the season’s first captain. It added a sentimental twist to an otherwise combative week on the reality show.
A 20-Year Journey Brings The House To Tears
As reported by India TV News, the makers screened a nearly 24-minute reel in the Assembly Room. It took Bigg Boss 20 contestants through highlights from the previous nineteen seasons. It also mixed in old friendships and love stories, some of which turned into real marriages, along with several heated fights and arguments. Jio Hotstar had earlier confirmed Young DSA’s win with a social media post, noting that the rapper comes from Yerwada in Pune and is better recognised in music circles under that stage name than his real one.
The most touching stretch centred on Sidharth Shukla. Seeing him again with Shehnaaz Gill was what hit hardest. Mahhi Vij, Arishfa Khan and Amrapali Dubey were among the contestants who could not hold back their emotions. It showed just how deeply Bigg Boss 20 still feels the late actor’s presence, even years after his run on the show ended.
Mahhi Vij’s Personal Connection To Sidharth Shukla
For Mahhi Vij, the tribute carried extra weight. Cameras caught her dabbing at her eyes as visuals of Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill played on screen. Reports noted that the two were genuinely close friends outside the show as well. That friendship made the segment hit closer to home for her than for most other housemates.
Sidharth Shukla had claimed the Bigg Boss 13 title before this, a season fans still bring up because of the tension between him and Asim Riaz. He also clashed with Rashami Desai fairly often through much of that run. What people talk about most, though, is his easy chemistry with Shehnaaz Gill, a pairing fans nicknamed ‘SidNaaz’ that people still count among the show’s most discussed friendships. He lost his life in September 2021, and clips like this one keep reminding Bigg Boss 20 viewers why that bond still resonates today.
Drama Continues Beyond The Tribute
Away from the tears, Bigg Boss 20 has hardly slowed down on conflict. Young DSA’s new captaincy quickly sparked friction with Kanika Mann. He accused her of ignoring him near the washroom and called out to her loudly. Kanika hit back sharply, telling him that becoming captain did not make him “the ruler of the place.” She then mocked his earlier remarks in front of the other housemates, which only added more fuel to the argument.
Kanika, along with Uditi Singh, Love Gill and Arishfa Khan, is already facing the season’s first elimination threat, so tensions in the house were bound to run high regardless. With nominations already out, every small disagreement now carries a little more weight for the contestants involved.
Elsewhere, the mood turned lighter. Asif Khan ran a playful acting session for Amrapali Dubey and Young DSA, giving both contestants a scene to perform together. Kanika Mann and Gullu’s friendship also kept growing stronger through the week. Between the fresh arguments and the fond memories of Sidharth Shukla, Bigg Boss 20 is proving that this season has room for both nostalgia and plenty of new drama, and audiences are watching closely to see which side wins out as the days go on.
