Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of actor-singer and politician Manoj Tiwari, has been eliminated from Bigg Boss 20 in a surprise mid-week twist. Her exit took place on October 1, 2026, shortly after she faced criticism from host Salman Khan during a recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode over her behaviour and remarks inside the house.
Rhiti Tiwari’s Unexpected Exit From ‘Bigg Boss 20’
Rhiti’s stint on the reality show came to an unexpected end less than a month after the season premiered on September 6, 2026, on Colors TV and JioHotstar.
Unlike the usual elimination process based on audience voting, her eviction happened as part of a captaincy task. Yung DSA, Mahhi Vij and Uditi Singh, who were competing for captaincy, received a special ‘vardaan’ that allowed them to take away another contestant’s lifeline.
Rhiti had already lost one of her two lives, making her vulnerable to the twist. The contenders chose her, resulting in her immediate elimination from the show.
Her departure is the first mid-week eviction of the season and comes after Rohed Khan and Isha Rikhi were previously eliminated.
Salman Khan Had Confronted Rhiti During ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’
Rhiti’s time in the Bigg Boss house had already attracted attention following her disagreements with contestants Qazi Touqeer and Uditi Singh.
The controversy intensified during a ‘diss battle’ task when Rhiti used abusive and derogatory language. Her comments drew reactions from other housemates and viewers.
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode aired around September 27, 2026, Salman Khan addressed her conduct. He questioned Rhiti over her choice of words and her remark directed at Qazi Touqeer, in which she referred to her father by saying, “Mere papa hote toh dekh lete.”
Salman also questioned which aspect of her father she was referring to when making the statement, asking whether she meant singer, actor or politician Manoj Tiwari. He further compared her conduct with that of former Bigg Boss contestant Dolly Bindra and advised her to change her approach.
Manoj Tiwari Responds to the Controversy
The situation also prompted Manoj Tiwari to address the discussions surrounding his daughter’s participation in the show.
He rejected claims that he had used his influence to help Rhiti secure a place on Bigg Boss 20. Later, he asked viewers not to take the events inside the house too seriously, describing the show as a game meant to be watched and enjoyed.
His comments came between September 27 and September 30, 2026, as the controversy surrounding Rhiti continued to attract attention.
Rhiti’s sudden eviction comes soon after her confrontation with Salman Khan and the subsequent comments from her father, marking another unexpected development in the ongoing season of Bigg Boss 20.
