Olympic boxing medallist Mary Kom has reportedly been evicted from Bigg Boss 20 after seven weeks in the house, receiving the fewest audience votes among this week's nominees. Her exit is expected to feature in an upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode hosted by Rohit Shetty, according to reports published on October 24, 2026.
The eviction vote
Mary Kom was nominated for eviction this week alongside Uditi Singh, Amrapali Dubey, Manish Goel, Arishfa Khan, Love Gill and Kushal Tanwar, known as Gullu. Reports say she received the lowest number of audience votes, ending a run that began when the season launched on September 6, 2026. Voting-trend reports earlier in the week had already placed Mary Kom and Manish Goel in the danger zone.
The eviction has not yet been formally confirmed on air, and reports stress it is based on voting buzz ahead of the weekend episode. But multiple entertainment outlets are reporting the same outcome, and fans have been reacting to the news across social media since the reports surfaced.
A headline-making stint in the house
Mary Kom's time on Bigg Boss 20 was never quiet. The six-time world champion boxer and London 2012 bronze medallist brought a sporting legend's presence to the house, but she also found herself at the centre of controversy. During a conversation with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer about prominent Indian sportswomen, including Sania Mirza and Saina Nehwal, Mary Kom reportedly said no one had achieved what she had. The remark drew criticism from viewers who felt it dismissed other athletes' achievements, and her team later issued an apology saying her words had been misunderstood and that every athlete's medal matters.
Her personal life also drew attention during the season, with reports noting her ongoing legal dispute with former husband Onler Kom, who reportedly filed a criminal defamation case against her. The show has a long history of turning real-life stories into house drama, and Mary Kom's journey was no exception.
What her exit means for the season
With Mary Kom out, the season's dynamics shift again. Seven weeks in, the house has already lost several contestants, including Isha Rikhi and Aman Gandhi, and the remaining housemates now face a game with fewer big names and more room for lesser-known contestants to step forward. Rohit Shetty, who is hosting this weekend's episodes in Salman Khan's absence, is expected to address the eviction on Weekend Ka Vaar.
For Mary Kom, the exit closes a rare reality-TV chapter for one of India's most decorated athletes. Whether fans see it as a fair result or a loss for the season, her seven weeks in the Bigg Boss house gave viewers a side of the boxing champion they had never seen before, and that alone made her one of the season's most talked-about contestants.
