Mary Kom Evicted From Bigg Boss 20: How Her Two Lifelines Ran Out on a Saturday
Last updated: 25 October 2026. This article covers the Saturday, 24 October Weekend Ka Vaar and reporting available before Sunday's episode.
Mary Kom is out of Bigg Boss 20 . Guest host Rohit Shetty announced the boxer's eviction during Saturday's Weekend Ka Vaar, seven weeks after she entered the house. ANI reports that the announcement came after she lost both of her lifelines. Manish Goel, who was also nominated, survived the round but lost one of his lifelines, leaving him with one.
The result also arrived early. WION reports that the eviction came on Saturday instead of Sunday. This guide sets out what is confirmed, how Mary Kom's two lifelines were lost, and where outlets describe the mechanism differently.
What happened on Saturday - - Mary Kom evicted from Bigg Boss 20
Seven housemates were nominated for Week 7: Uditi Singh, Amrapali Dubey, Manish Goel, Arishfa Khan, Lovepreet Gill, Gullu ( Kushal Tanwar) and Mary Kom, according to Deccan Chronicle.
Ahead of the result, NewsNation reported that Rohit Shetty said in a promo that the house would not wait until the next day. Two lifelines would go that day, it reported. A housemate holding two would lose one, and a housemate holding one would leave. Deccan Chronicle and India TV carried the same description. JioHotstar Reality also shared promotional material on Instagram, and NewsNation embedded one of its reels in that report.
The outcome, as reported by ANI, is that Mary Kom was eliminated after losing both lifelines. E24 Bollywood says she and Manish Goel were the bottom two.
Amrapali Dubey broke down in tears, ANI reports, and the housemates sang "You are a champion" as Mary Kom left. In her farewell, Gulf News reports, she said she hoped the housemates would miss her and joked that she would not have spared any of them in the ring. She also told Gullu to play well and said Arishfa Khan reminded her of her daughter.
Mary Kom's lifeline timeline
Mary Kom evicted from Bigg Boss 20 - The season's format gives each housemate two lifelines. DHE Studio's lifelines explainer covers the basics. This is how Mary Kom's two were lost:
When | What happened | Source |
Weekend of 3–4 October (Day 28) | No regular eviction after Rhiti Tiwari's mid-week exit. Mary Kom received the fewest votes and lost her first lifeline. | |
Weekend of 17–18 October | Aman Gandhi was evicted. Mary Kom was reported among the bottom three. | |
Saturday, 24 October | Nominated again, she lost her second and last lifeline and was evicted. |
Once a housemate has lost one lifeline, finishing last the next time they are nominated puts them out of the house. Under the format as reported, that is what ended Mary Kom's stay.
Was this a new rule? What the reports say
Outlets do not describe the mechanism in the same way.
Gulf News, citing News9 Live, says Shetty introduced a new rule on lifelines during the episode. It adds that the Indian Express reported Mary Kom lost her second lifeline as a result.
E24 Bollywood describes the outcome in terms of low votes plus lifeline use, with Mary Kom and Manish Goel in the bottom two.
Pre-episode reports described the promo as saying that anyone with two lifelines would lose one and anyone with one would go.
Two points remain unclear:
Vote counts. None of these reports gives official vote figures, and such figures are not normally published.
How the rule was applied. Read literally, the promo suggests every nominee with two lifelines would lose one. The reports name only Manish Goel as losing a lifeline this week. How the condition applied to the other five nominees has not been explained in the coverage reviewed.
DHE Studio's explainer also noted that no published rulebook could be found, so the exact mechanics should be treated as reported, not as official rules.
What it means for Manish Goel and the house
Manish Goel entered as a wildcard, and his position is now narrower. WION reports that he has one lifeline left. Under the format as reported, a last-place finish in a future vote he faces would end his stay.
Confirmed lifeline counts for the other housemates have not been reported in the coverage reviewed, so we are not listing them. For earlier context, see DHE Studio's Week 5 nominations and voting trends coverage.
What else happened in the episode
Mary Kom's exit was one part of a busy episode. Sunday Guardian's highlights report that Rohit Shetty questioned the closeness between Scout OP and Lovepreet Gill,. Love described Scout as her brother, and Shetty said the interactions did not look right on screen. For background on the gamer, see DHE Studio's Scout OP profile.
Shetty also questioned Aasif Khan over his recent confrontation with Qazi Touqeer. Qazi's background is covered in DHE Studio's Qazi Touqeer profile.
WION reports that a promo for Sunday's episode shows Scout OP's girlfriend, Kaashvi, entering the house. What she says on the show is a matter for the episode itself.
Unofficial claims before the episode
Before the episode aired, Sunday Guardian reported that an X account claimed Mary Kom had been evicted. It noted that neither the makers nor official channels had confirmed it as of 24 October. The claim turned out to match the broadcast, but a social-media post is not a result. The episode itself, or reliable reporting on it, is the confirmation.
Mary Kom's stay in brief
Mary Kom entered at the 6 September premiere as the season's most senior contestant, and Priyanka Chopra sent her a video message of support, according to Gulf News. Gulf News notes that viewers noticed her time in the kitchen and her workouts with other housemates. It adds that some of her comments about her own sporting records
Gulf News. describes her as a six-time world amateur champion, a London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist and a Padma Vibhushan recipient.
