Bigg Boss 20 Hindi Week 5 nominations: Eight contestants named, including Mary Kom and Gullu
Eight contestants have been named in reports of the Bigg Boss 20 Hindi Week 5 nominations: Qazi Touqeer, Mary Kom, Mahhi Vij, Aman Gandhi, Love Gill, Arishfa Khan, Kanika Mann and Gullu, also known as Kushal Tanwar. The nomination task is due to be shown in the episode scheduled for Monday, October 5, 2026. Because some early lists name only seven contestants and leave out Gullu, the televised announcement remains the clearest way to confirm the final lineup.
Who is nominated in Bigg Boss 20 this week?
- Qazi Touqeer
- Mary Kom
- Mahhi Vij
- Aman Gandhi
- Love Gill
- Arishfa Khan
- Kanika Mann
- Gullu (Kushal Tanwar)
This is the reported Week 5 lineup, not the larger group nominated in Week 4. That distinction matters for anyone checking a nominations page that has not yet moved on from last week. It also explains why a recently published list may include housemates who do not appear among the eight names above.
Why do some lists say seven?
The difference appears to be Gullu. Several early updates listed Qazi, Mary Kom, Mahhi, Aman, Love, Arishfa and Kanika, while other accounts of the task included Gullu as an eighth nominee. The available descriptions of housemates’ choices say Arishfa and Yung DSA both named him. Readers should treat the count as subject to confirmation in the broadcast rather than assuming that every circulating list reflects the completed result.
Being nominated means a contestant is at risk in the eviction round; it does not mean that person has been eliminated. Nor does the order in a circulating list indicate who received the most votes from housemates or who is likely to leave. No Week 5 eviction result has been established by the nominations alone.
How did the nomination task work?
The task uses a boxing-ring setup built around Mary Kom. Housemates are asked to choose two fellow contestants for nomination by placing their pictures on punching bags, which Mary Kom then punches. The choices put several existing house dynamics into the open: accounts of the task show multiple housemates naming Qazi and Aman, while Kanika and Love also drew more than one nomination.
Captain Uditi Singh had a separate power to nominate someone directly and used it on Mary Kom. That is an important detail because Mary Kom’s reported place on the list did not depend on receiving the same kind of housemate nominations as the others. It also means her role in the boxing-themed task should not be confused with immunity from the eviction round.
The reported choices help explain the disputed eighth name without turning every individual vote into a separate result. Arishfa and Yung DSA are both said to have chosen Gullu, while Gullu himself is reported to have named Yung DSA and Aman. As with the overall lineup, the episode is the place to check how those choices were counted and announced.
What happens next?
Once the final nominees are announced, viewers can follow the voting instructions presented through the show’s authorized channels. Independent fan polls may display the same contestants, but votes cast in those polls are not votes in the programme’s eviction process. A fan ranking cannot establish who is safe, who has the fewest official votes or who will be eliminated.
For now, the useful answer to “who is nominated this week?” is the eight-name reported Week 5 list above, with one qualification: early accounts disagree about Gullu. The distinction should be settled by the show’s nomination announcement, not by Week 4 lists or unofficial polling totals.
