The latest episode of Bigg Boss 20 saw conversations around relationships, food-related tensions and an uncomfortable exchange over sexuality. Amrapali Dubey opened up about dating rumours with Bhojpuri actor Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua, during a chat with Mahhi Vij. Meanwhile, Mahhi got upset over food portions, while Aman Gandhi and Nakul Dhull's disagreement raised tensions.
Mahhi asked Amrapali Dubey why she did not have a boyfriend, saying she would get one now because she had lost weight. "Abhi toh tu patli bhi ho gayi hai (Now you are losing weight)." Amrapali responded that even when she was heavier, many men were interested in her, but she had chosen not to make anyone her boyfriend.
Mahhi then asked whether Amrapali liked anyone from the Bhojpuri film industry. Amrapali explained that most of the actors were married and that she did not share a particularly close equation with Pawan Singh, who is unmarried. Mahhi also asked her about Dinesh Lal Yadav, popularly known as Nirahua.
The conversation took another turn when Mahhi recalled seeing Amrapali with Nirahua and his children in Bandra. She asked about his marriage, prompting Amrapali to explain, "She is a housewife. Arranged marriage. Wo actor bane usse pehle hi unki shaadi ho gayi thi."
Mahhi then asked whether Nirahua had married only once and if he had ever had a girlfriend. "Girlfriend toh rahi hongi (He must have had girlfriends)," said Amrapali, before Mahhi added, "But he didn't leave his wife?" To this, Amrapali agreed.
Food-related tensions continued when Mahhi asked for an extra piece of chicken. Captain Aasif Khan, who was distributing the food, divided it equally and gave Mahhi a piece along with some curry from the extra bowl. However, Mahhi later expressed displeasure over how the situation was handled, criticising Aasif for his "chindiigiri" and remarking that food-related matters should be handled more considerately. Kanika and Qazi Touqeer stepped in to console her as the disagreement unfolded.
During a conversation about Mumbai, Aman spoke about the city's safety for women and its acceptance of LGBTQIA+ culture. Nakul then asked Aman whether he was straight or gay. Aman clarified that he was straight, but Nakul continued questioning him about his views on gay people and whether he would consider being with a man. He also brought up the term âhomophobic', making the conversation increasingly uncomfortable for Aman.
Nakul later told Gullu and Qazi that he had deliberately used the term to tease Aman because he noticed that the conversation was bothering him.
