A week ago, fans were worried about whether Qazi Touqeer would even stay in the Bigg Boss 20 house. On Saturday, he walked away with Rs 5 lakh. In Episode 35, the October 10, 2026 Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan announced that the singer had won the sponsor's Style Icon award, while a bitter fight between Gullu and Arishfa Khan set the tone before the shoot even began.
Qazi Touqeer's Rs 5 lakh moment
Times Now reported that after the film guests left the stage, Salman announced that Qazi had won the Flipkart Style Icon award and Rs 5 lakh in prize money. Kanika Mann joked that she was jealous.
It was a welcome turn for a contestant whose health dominated the week. Filmibeat had reported that Qazi was said to be suffering from dengue, and that Salman was expected to question Scout OP over his behaviour towards him. Our earlier piece, "Bigg Boss 20: Qazi Touqeer's Team Says He Has Fever, Not Dengue Exit — Singer Still Inside," covers what his team said at the time. Guests also singled him out on Saturday: Times Now reported that both Neha Dhupia and Wamiqa Gabbi said they love watching him.
Arishfa Khan breaks down after clash with Gullu
The episode opened with footage from just before the shoot. According to Times Now, Arishfa Khan confronted Qazi and Gullu, whose real name is Kushal Tanwar, over hygiene in the house. Qazi brushed her off and treated her like a kid, and she asked him not to call her "bacchi".
She then called Gullu out for not keeping his things properly. The argument escalated and, as Times Now reported, Gullu teased her until she cried. Arishfa called him a "bully", said people like him are the reason girls get scared to go to school and college, and used the words "ghatiya" and "gutter se aaya hua insaan" against him. The show has not indicated any formal action over the exchange.
The verdict on Uditi Singh's captaincy
When Salman began his session, he sarcastically praised the housemates for showing their true personalities. He told Aasif Khan and Gullu to open up more, and wished Kanika a happy birthday.
He then asked the house to rate Uditi Singh's captaincy. Times Now reported that Gullu, Kanika, Mahhi Vij and Qazi called it "Dimaag Ka Dahi", while Scout OP, Yung DSA, Amrapali Dubey and Love Gill called it "Sahi". Filmibeat reported that Salman also told Kanika she was "back in the game", and that Wamiqa said she saw potential in her.
Gullu's water task and the Roadies gang
Rannvijay Singha came on to promote Roadies, and Gullu, a fan, was visibly thrilled. Salman gave him a special task: name the people he dislikes and pour water on their faces. Times Now reported that he chose Amrapali, Yung DSA and Arishfa, saying he did not like their personalities. Amrapali lost her cool afterwards because her outfit was soaked.
Asked by Rannvijay about Scout OP's priorities, Gullu said Scout and Yung were prioritising Love Gill even though she does not put them first, and he described Amrapali as playing a smart game. Filmibeat reported that Salman praised Gullu's straightforwardness with a "Well done" and said the audience likes his honest opinions. Neha Dhupia, Prince Narula and Abhishek Malhan joined later, and Abhishek said Scout OP is his favourite.
Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi closed the guest segment with a game in which housemates handed out titles to each other, before Salman introduced the season's first wildcard, TV actor Manish Goel.
