Week 6 of Bigg Boss 20 opened with one of the longest nomination lists of the season. According to Filmibeat's Episode 37 coverage and its nomination round-up, eleven housemates were put in danger after the Monday nomination task that aired on October 12, 2026: Qazi Touqeer, Yung DSA, Kanika Mann, Love Gill, Arishfa Khan, Scout OP, Gullu (Kushal Tanwar), Uditi Singh, Aman Gandhi, Mary Kom and Mahhi Vij.
Only a handful walked away safe. Filmibeat reported that captain Aasif Khan, wildcard entrants Nakul Dhull and Manish Goel, and Aamrapali Dubey were not nominated. The episode streamed on JioHotstar at 9 PM IST and on Colors TV at 10:30 PM.
The full Week 6 nomination list
Eleven names is a crowded danger zone. It means more than half the house is now fighting for viewer votes, and the ones who just survived Week 5 are back on the chopping block. Our earlier report, "Bigg Boss 20: Mary Kom Is Safe as Aman Gandhi Loses a Lifeline — No One Leaves the House in Week 5," covered how Mary Kom cleared the previous result while Aman Gandhi spent a lifeline instead of leaving. Both are nominated again.
Filmibeat also noted that Mahhi Vij was nominated directly by captain Aasif Khan. A captain's direct nomination is one of the sharpest moves in the Bigg Boss format: it skips the usual peer-vote pile-on and puts a single name on the list by authority.
How the nomination votes broke down
Filmibeat published a detailed vote breakdown of who nominated whom. Treat the list as reported by that outlet until the show itself confirms every line on air:
Qazi Touqeer was nominated by Yung DSA, Arishfa Khan and Scout OP. Kanika Mann was named by Love Gill, Yung DSA, Arishfa Khan and Aamrapali Dubey. Uditi Singh was nominated by Qazi Touqeer, Yung DSA and Mahhi Vij. Scout OP was named by Qazi Touqeer, Uditi Singh and Aman Gandhi. Arishfa Khan was nominated by Qazi Touqeer, Kanika Mann and Gullu. Yung DSA was named by Qazi Touqeer and Kanika Mann. Gullu was nominated by Arishfa Khan and Aamrapali Dubey. Mary Kom was named by Uditi Singh and Arishfa Khan. Aman Gandhi was nominated by Kanika Mann. Love Gill was nominated by Kanika Mann. Aamrapali Dubey received no nominations.
The pattern is familiar. Cross-firing between Qazi's circle and the Kanika–Arishfa–Yung cluster produced most of the names. Mary Kom's two nominations, including one from Uditi, echo last week's captain-driven pressure on her, even though Uditi is no longer captain.
Why Aasif naming Mahhi matters
Aasif Khan's captaincy began after the chaotic Weekend Ka Vaar that also brought in wildcards Manish Goel and Nakul Dhull — a stretch we covered in "Bigg Boss 20: Salman Khan Slams Scout OP and Yung DSA Over the Lollipop Row as Nakul Dhull Walks In as the Second Wildcard." Using his first big captain power to nominate Mahhi Vij sets a clear tone: he is willing to pick a high-profile television name and put her in danger.
Mahhi has already spent time near the bottom of reported voting trends in Week 5. A direct nomination raises the stakes for her fan base and for anyone in the house who was hoping she would stay insulated by status.
Who looks safest — and who does not
On paper, the safe four — Aasif, Aamrapali, Nakul and Manish — have the clearest path through the week. Aasif has captain immunity. The two wildcards are still new, and Filmibeat's reporting kept them off the list. Aamrapali drew zero nominations in the Filmibeat breakdown, which is a strong house signal even when captains can still override.
Mary Kom, Aman Gandhi and Mahhi Vij are the names to watch. Mary is famous outside the house but has already needed a Sunday save. Aman has no lifeline left. Mahhi is a captain's pick. Kanika Mann, with four nominations against her in the reported tally, also enters the week with heavy house heat.
What happens next
Voting on JioHotstar will decide who survives. The season, which premiered on September 6, 2026, has already seen exits for Rohed Khan, Isha Rikhi and Rhiti Tiwari, according to earlier episode recaps. Week 6 could finally produce another departure after two consecutive weekends without a full eviction.
