Bigg Boss 20 opened its tenth week on a tense note. Episode 65, which aired on November 9, saw captain Arishfa Khan and Scout OP trade sharp words over the house’s no-sleeping rule, while a role-play skit between Qazi Touqeer and Manish Goel turned into one of the season’s most uncomfortable confrontations. Adding to the pressure, reports from the house say the entire Bigg Boss 20 house, except captain Arishfa, has been nominated for eviction this week after repeated rule violations.
The episode came a day after the Diwali special Weekend Ka Vaar on November 8, where host Salman Khan announced there would be no eviction. That left 11 housemates in the game going into Week 10, and the calm did not last long.
What Happened in Bigg Boss 20 Episode 65
According to Times Now’s episode highlights, the day began with a debate over kitchen hygiene. Arishfa, in her role as captain, flagged unwashed utensils and asked Qazi Touqeer to clean up after being told that Mahhi Vij had left her dishes in the sink. Aamrapali Dubey and Mahhi also argued over kitchen chores, and Arishfa reminded Scout OP not to sleep during the day.
That reminder set up the episode’s first major fight. The second came from an unlikely source: a comedy skit meant to lighten the mood. The episode closed on a festive note, with singer Jasmine Sandlas performing for the housemates as part of the Diwali celebrations.
Arishfa Khan vs Scout OP: The Captaincy Clash
Despite earlier warnings, Scout OP was found asleep in the bedroom during the day. Promos for the episode, reported by Zoom TV and Filmibeat, showed that he did not get up even after several wake-up alarms played by the Bigg Boss team.
Arishfa was present when the alarm rang and reprimanded him for ignoring her instructions. The exchange escalated quickly. Scout objected to her use of words like “sharam” and told her to complete her education before raising issues with him, while Arishfa raised her voice during the argument. It was the latest chapter in a rivalry that has run through much of the season, and JioHotstar’s own reality handle summed up the mood in a single line.
Qazi Touqeer and Manish Goel: A Skit That Went Wrong
The more serious flashpoint involved Qazi Touqeer and wildcard entrant Manish Goel. Qazi staged a comic act dressed in a lehenga, playing a character he called “Qazina”, and Manish joined in. As Filmibeat’s written update notes, the moment that triggered the dispute was Manish carrying Qazi towards the washroom area during the bit.
Later, while sitting with Uditi Singh, Qazi said he felt his physical boundaries had been crossed. He then confronted Manish directly, saying he had been uncomfortable when Manish came close to him and touched him during the role-play. Manish asked him to take it in a sporting spirit and not turn a joke into something else.
Manish Goel’s Response
Manish pushed back firmly. He said he has a wife he loves and is a parent, and that he has never misbehaved with women and understands boundaries. Filmibeat quoted him as saying, “Tu kare toh masti, koi dusra kare toh not good!” and, “I respect women a lot. Don’t play woman card with me.” The two eventually agreed to stay out of each other’s way.
The truce looked fragile. Times Now reported that Qazi later told Aamrapali in the kitchen that he would keep teasing Manish, and Aamrapali advised him to go easy on the actor, describing Manish as a straightforward person. JioHotstar Reality posted a clip of the exchange asking viewers who was at fault, and it drew more than 450 replies.
Week 10 Nominations: Entire House in Danger
The bigger story of the week may be the nominations. According to a TV9 Bharatvarsh report, captain Arishfa Khan was safe and was given a special power to directly nominate one housemate. She used it on Scout OP. In the nomination task that followed, every other housemate could vote out up to eight players.
The same report says Bigg Boss also reprimanded Scout OP, Love Gill and Kanika Mann for repeatedly ignoring house rules despite warnings, issued a final warning to the whole house, and declared every housemate except Arishfa nominated. Filmibeat had earlier reported that the nomination round would carry a surprise in which everyone but the captain is nominated. The full nominations sequence is expected to play out on screen this week, so viewers should treat the details as reported until the episode airs.
Who Is at Risk?
TV9 noted that unofficial social media trends place Qazi Touqeer at the top of the popularity charts, with Scout OP, Love Gill and Yung DSA also drawing strong fan support. The same buzz suggests Manish Goel or Mahhi Vij could be the most vulnerable. These are unofficial trends, not voting results, and the actual outcome will only be known at Weekend Ka Vaar, expected on November 14 and 15.
Diwali Night With Jasmine Sandlas
After a day of arguments, the episode ended with Jasmine Sandlas performing in the house. The housemates danced to her songs, and several of them were visibly emotional. Before the performance, Yung DSA was seen telling Scout that he was being “used and thrown”, while Love Gill playfully asked Gullu to pretend to propose to her. Bigg Boss also promised the contestants several surprises during Diwali week.
What’s Next in Bigg Boss 20
The next flashpoint is already lined up. A new promo from JioHotstar Reality shows Arishfa throwing away Love Gill’s food in anger, which suggests the captain’s tough stance on rules will keep producing friction this week.
New episodes stream daily at 9 PM on JioHotstar and air at 10:30 PM on Colors TV, including the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes.
Conclusion
Episode 65 showed how quickly the mood in the Bigg Boss 20 house can shift, from a festive Diwali night to a rules standoff and a serious personal accusation in the space of a single day. With nearly the whole house reportedly facing eviction after the Diwali week reprieve, every argument now carries more weight. Arishfa’s captaincy, Scout’s defiance and the Qazi-Manish fallout are likely to be central talking points when Salman Khan returns for Weekend Ka Vaar.
