Manish Goel Joins Bigg Boss 20 as First Wildcard Contestant; Second Entry Teased
Manish Goel, a veteran Indian television actor known for shows like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Anupamaa, entered Bigg Boss 20 as the season's first wildcard contestant during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. Initially introduced as a guest, his entry surprised housemates and added new dynamics to the show. Goel has also participated in reality shows such as Nach Baliye and won Welcome Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki. A second wildcard entry, possibly social media influencer Nakul Dhull, is anticipated soon.
