Rhiti Tiwari leaves Bigg Boss 20 in sudden mid-week exit after captaincy task

Rhiti Tiwari has exited Bigg Boss 20 in the season's first mid-week elimination following a captaincy task rather than the usual public vote. The season premiered on September 6 and is hosted by Salman Khan, with Rhiti entering the house alongside her father, actor-singer and politician Manoj Tiwari.

The Exit

Contenders Yung DSA, Mahhi Vij and Uditi Singh received a special power during the captaincy task to strip another contestant of a lifeline. Since Rhiti was down to her final life, the decision ended her time on the show. Her departure follows the earlier exits of Rohed Khan, who was the first contestant to leave, and Isha Rikhi, the second person to be eliminated.

House Controversies

Rhiti's time on the reality show featured multiple clashes with other housemates, notably involving Qazi Touqeer after an issue regarding his health. Tensions worsened during a diss battle task where Rhiti used harsh language toward Qazi and Uditi Singh. Host Salman Khan addressed the incident during Weekend Ka Vaar, calling her performance the worst diss ever and questioning her conduct while comparing her behavior to former contestant Dolly Bindra and mentioning her background as a star kid.

Context

Reality television shows frequently use mid-week eliminations and special twists during captaincy tasks to increase drama and catch contestants off guard. These surprise exits bypass regular audience voting methods to alter the power balance inside the house.
