Rohed Khan's eviction from Bigg Boss 20 is now confirmed — he was voted out during the September 20 episode, becoming the season's first exit. Week 3 has since introduced a new nomination format, and it's produced an unusually narrow result: just two contestants, house captain Yung DSA and Isha Rikhi, are actually up for eviction this week.
Is Rohed Khan's eviction actually confirmed now?
Yes. We flagged this as reported but not yet officially confirmed when the news first broke, since several outlets were running ahead of the on-air announcement at the time. That's no longer the case — Rohed's exit aired as part of the September 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, making him the first contestant eliminated from the Bigg Boss 20 house. He'd entered the danger zone as one of three contestants punished for discussing nominations in advance with Yung DSA, alongside Aasif Khan and Tanmay "ScoutOP" Singh, both of whom survived the vote.
What's different about this week's nomination format?
Week 3 flipped the usual process on its head. Instead of naming housemates they wanted to see nominated, contestants were asked to name two people they wanted to save from the danger zone. Anyone who received zero save votes ended up on the nomination list by default — a mechanic that puts a very different kind of social pressure on the house, since it rewards being liked broadly rather than simply avoiding being disliked by a majority.
Under that system, only two contestants came away with zero save votes: Yung DSA and Isha Rikhi. That's a notably smaller nomination pool than the four-contestant rounds the season has run in earlier weeks, and it means this week's audience vote is a much more direct, high-stakes read on exactly two people's standing in the house rather than a wider field.
Why is Yung DSA's nomination particularly notable?
Yung DSA has been at the center of this season's format since day one — he was the show's first house captain, and he was directly involved in the Week 1 punishment nomination controversy that got Aasif, Rohed, and ScoutOP nominated in the first place, though his captaincy shielded him from nomination at the time. That protection is gone now: he's already lost one of his two lifelines following a separate ration task involving Aman Gandhi, meaning a poor showing in this week's vote would put him in genuinely fragile territory for a contestant who's been this central to the season's biggest storylines so far.
How does Week 3 compare to the season's pace so far?
This season has moved unusually fast by Bigg Boss standards. In the space of three weeks, the house has already been through a cancelled nomination task and punishment nominations, a lifeline-stripping captaincy twist, a staged health scare from Salman Khan himself, a genuinely confirmed eviction, and now a nomination format that's never quite worked this way before. For comparison, past seasons have often taken considerably longer to build to this level of format experimentation, typically easing contestants and viewers into the season's core dynamics before introducing this many structural twists back to back. Whether that pace is sustainable for a full season run, or whether it's front-loading drama that a slower middle stretch will struggle to match, is worth watching as the show moves into its second month.
What's the status of the vote, and when does it close?
Voting for Yung DSA and Isha Rikhi is open now, with the window running until 10 AM on Friday, September 25. Unofficial trend trackers online have shown Yung DSA leading, with Isha Rikhi trailing — but it's worth repeating what we've said before about these trackers: they have no actual connection to JioHotstar's real vote count, and figures can shift meaningfully before the window closes. If you're planning to vote yourself, we've put together a full guide on where to vote, how the process works, and which sites claiming to run "official" polls are fake.
What else is worth knowing about the house dynamic right now?
Isha Rikhi's presence in this week's nomination round adds an extra layer of attention given her real-life divorce from Badshah was confirmed publicly while she's been isolated inside the house. Notably, an earlier episode already saw her asked directly about Badshah by a fellow contestant unaware of the connection — she gave a brief, guarded answer rather than engaging further, which tracks with how carefully she seems to be managing that subject on camera. Whether the show addresses the divorce news with her directly at some point remains to be seen.
