Bigg Boss 20 Episode 66, which aired on November 10, turned the kitchen into a battleground. Captain Arishfa Khan and Love Gill clashed over house duties, and the argument ended with Arishfa throwing away the food Love was cooking for herself. Later in the day, the Week 10 nomination task reopened the Qazi Touqeer and Manish Goel row, and Manish broke down in tears after Qazi’s remarks about his conduct. Kanika Mann then confronted Qazi, accusing him of double standards.
The episode followed the tense start to Week 10 covered in our Episode 65 recap, where Arishfa’s strict stance on house rules and the Qazi-Manish skit had already set the tone for a difficult week.
What Happened in Bigg Boss 20 Episode 66
According to Times Now’s episode highlights, the episode opened in the kitchen after Jasmine Sandlas’ Diwali concert in the house. Love Gill told Arishfa that she would not cook breakfast or dinner for the house and would make her own food instead. The next morning, Arishfa expressed her frustration that Love had not washed the utensils from the previous night, and she also pulled up Scout OP for sleeping after the lights were switched on.
ABP Live reported that Arishfa asked Love to clean the kitchen slab and that Love refused. Arishfa then complained to Yung DSA, saying her patience was running out.
Arishfa Khan vs Love Gill: The Kitchen Fight
The disagreement came to a head when Love began cooking breakfast for herself. Times Now reported that Arishfa asked Mahhi Vij to cook breakfast for the house, then turned off the gas on Love’s stove. Love switched it back on, and the back-and-forth continued until Arishfa took the pan off the stove and threw away the food. Mahhi tried to stop her and criticised her for the move.
ABP Live’s account adds that Love pushed Arishfa during the argument, prompting Arishfa to tell her not to touch her. Arishfa said that if Love would not do her duties, she would not let her cook. When Gullu stepped in and asked her not to snatch Love’s food, Arishfa insisted she had not done so, shortly before the situation escalated further. The two accounts differ on the exact sequence of the physical contact, so the full picture will depend on how the house and the makers address it.
JioHotstar’s official reality handle put the question directly to viewers, and the post drew hundreds of replies.
Scout OP and Yung DSA Argue Over Love Gill
The fallout spread quickly. When Scout OP learnt what had happened, he confronted Arishfa. He also turned on Yung DSA for not taking a stand for Love. Yung replied that he had called Arishfa out, but said he could only comment on the situation and not on how people behave, and the exchange turned into another verbal spat between the former friends.
Week 10 Nominations: Who Nominated Whom
In Room 20, Bigg Boss asked captain Arishfa to name one housemate to save or nominate. She chose to nominate Scout OP directly. The task then confirmed what earlier reports had suggested: with the captain safe, the rest of the house is in the danger zone this week.
ABP Live reported some of the choices made during the task:
- Arishfa Khan nominated Scout OP directly.
- Mahhi Vij nominated Aamrapali Dubey and Uditi Singh.
- Scout OP nominated Uditi Singh and Aamrapali Dubey.
- Kanika Mann nominated Mahhi Vij, Aamrapali Dubey and Qazi Touqeer.
Manish Goel Breaks Down After Qazi Touqeer’s Remarks
The most emotional moment came during the nominations. Qazi Touqeer brought up the skit from Episode 65, in which Manish had carried him towards the washroom area while Qazi was playing his “Qazina” character. According to Times Now, Qazi compared Manish’s behaviour to that of an eve-teaser who harasses women on the street. The Indian Express reported that Qazi has said the experience made him think about the harassment women face in public spaces.
The comments upset Manish, who broke down in tears. He said he loves his wife, his daughter and his mother, and several women in the house told him they feel safe around him. Earlier, Manish had rejected Qazi’s allegation, telling him, “I respect women a lot. Don’t play this woman card with me.”
Kanika Mann Calls Out Qazi’s ‘Double Standards’
Kanika Mann and Love Gill confronted Qazi over what they saw as an attack on Manish’s character. Filmibeat reported that Kanika told Qazi not to play safe, questioned his gameplay and said she had never seen him take a stand when it mattered. She also objected to his repeated attempts to provoke Manish and said the remarks were not funny.
Mahhi Vij and the ‘Home Breaker’ Remark
The nomination task also revived the row over Mahhi Vij’s comment about Love Gill. Uditi Singh revealed that Mahhi had called Love a “home breaker”, and Love confronted her. According to ABP Live, Mahhi said she had used the term after Love called her “ping pong”, and later said she was taking the word back. Kanika and Arishfa also questioned Mahhi, while Scout asked housemates to keep his personal life out of the argument and called it a last warning.
Social Media Reactions
The Qazi-Manish row has moved well beyond the house. Indiatimes reported that Manish Goel’s team posted a statement on his X account on November 10, saying, “Being respectful is a quality, not a weakness, and being kind should never be mistaken for being an easy target!” The statement also accused Qazi of “deliberately twisting” the context to question Manish’s character.
Manish’s son Aryaveer also defended his father. Free Press Journal reported that he wrote that “what happened yesterday crossed a line” and asked viewers to use their own judgement. On X, fan opinion is divided: some viewers have argued that Qazi’s discomfort deserved to be heard, while others felt he should not have used the incident as a reason to nominate Manish. Arishfa has also drawn criticism from a section of fans over the kitchen fight.
What’s Next in Bigg Boss 20
A new promo from JioHotstar Reality suggests more trouble for the captain, teasing that housemates sleeping during the day will cost Arishfa. With almost the entire house nominated, every alliance will be tested before the votes are counted.
New episodes stream daily at 9 PM on JioHotstar and air at 10:30 PM on Colors TV. Salman Khan is expected to address the week’s controversies at Weekend Ka Vaar.
Conclusion
Episode 66 showed how quickly small disputes are escalating in Week 10. A duty argument became a fight over food, and a skit from the previous day became a question of character in the nomination task. Arishfa’s handling of the kitchen fight, Qazi’s remarks about Manish and Mahhi’s “home breaker” comment are all likely to come up when Salman Khan takes stock of the week at Weekend Ka Vaar.
