Overview
- Manish Goel was revealed as Bigg Boss 20’s first wildcard during Weekend Ka Vaar on Saturday when host Salman Khan turned a guest appearance into a surprise contestant entry.
- Goel is a veteran television actor with more than two decades of work on shows such as Bhabhi, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and he told Mid-day he had not watched the season before joining and was called specifically for the wildcard.
- Producers rolled out a promo for a second wildcard after Goel’s entry and media outlets identified social‑media creator Nakul Dhull as the likely candidate, with at least one report saying Dhull has since entered the house.
- Coverage highlights a clash of profiles: Goel’s established TV career and measured approach contrast with Dhull’s influencer fame and past controversial videos, a mix reporters say could change nominations, alliances and on‑camera confrontations.
- Wildcards are a routine Bigg Boss device used to reset midseason dynamics and re-engage viewers, so the new entries are likely to reshape relationships inside the house and drive fresh audience discussion on Colors TV and JioHotstar.
