Before Nakul Dhull had even stepped into the Bigg Boss house, his old videos had stepped out of the archive. Who is Nakul Dhull, the social media creator popularly known as Mitthu Don? The question has been climbing Google searches since he entered Bigg Boss 20 as the second wildcard contestant, after actor Manish Goel.

The timing has put a spotlight on old videos containing remarks about women that have faced online criticism.

He joined the Salman Khan-hosted show during Weekend Ka Vaar, and the wildcard entries came in the fifth week of the season. Both newcomers were expected to create ripples and affect the existing equations in the house.

Two Wildcards, One Weekend

The entries were staged as a double twist. Manish Goel appeared on stage with Salman Khan and the two played a prank on the housemates, suggesting he had come to promote an upcoming project, before the real reveal followed. When his entry was announced, the housemates appeared both surprised and excited. At the end of that episode, Salman Khan revealed that a second wildcard would enter on 11 October.

The two arrive from very different worlds. Goel is a television actor with a long run across daily soaps including Anupamaa, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Nakul Dhull, by contrast, built his following online.

From Faridabad To The Bigg Boss House

Nakul was born and raised in Faridabad, Haryana, and earned a degree in Civil Engineering from VIT Vellore, where he studied from 2016 to 2020.

With more than one million followers on Instagram, he is a familiar name to a young online audience. He is described as an influencer, content creator and comedian reportedly based in Haryana. How he describes himself, though, is less settled. Inside the house, he told fellow contestants that he teaches students in Classes 11 and 12, but ScoutOP identified him as a social media creator.

The Videos That Resurfaced

The clips at the centre of the row show him talking about following a woman at night so that she would understand fear, and describing women as a lower gender. They began circulating again amid reports that he could join Bigg Boss 20 as a wildcard.

In one of the resurfaced videos, he is seen speaking to his friends about following a woman at night. Both videos triggered reactions online. The clips are old, but their return to timelines coincided with the one moment he was most visible.

A Wildcard Under Scrutiny

Several users urged Salman Khan and the Bigg Boss 20 team not to give a platform to people associated with such remarks.

Whether the remarks will be raised inside the house, or by the host in a coming Weekend Ka Vaar, is not yet known. As of the latest reports, no statement from Nakul Dhull or the show's makers addressing the videos has been found.

Day 1 Rumours: What Is Confirmed, What Is Not

Within hours of his entry, claims spread online that he was removed on Day 1 after an alleged altercation with housemate Gullu, also known as Kushal Tanwar. The claims remain unverified, with no official confirmation from the makers. An Instagram post has since disputed the alleged fight, though that claim has not been independently verified either.

According to the circulating claims, the confrontation involved pushing and a slap, and other contestants reportedly stepped in. None of these details has been confirmed. The claim has spread mainly through social media posts and short videos, and one widely shared post itself noted that none of it had been officially confirmed. Another report pointed out that a post declaring him evicted ended with a request to wait for final confirmation, which makes it speculation rather than a confirmed development.

What Happens Next

Viewers looking for a clear answer will have to wait for the show's telecast or an official statement from the makers. History offers a cautionary note for any newcomer. In Bigg Boss 15, for example, wildcards Raqesh Bapat and Neha Bhasin entered the house but could not survive for very long. Entering mid-season, among housemates who have already formed their equations, is rarely an easy task.
