Why Nakul Dhull Was Evicted From Bigg Boss 20?
The fight began after Nakul heard Qazi bragging about biting ScoutOP's ear and spitting in it. Nakul told Scout that Qazi was mocking him and boasting about it. Qazi said in his defence that 'he was joking'.

Nakul brought up the mockery again. Qazi then pulled Gullu into the matter and asked him to explain on his behalf. Nakul took offence. He said, "Why will he explain me, and why should I listen to him?"
Following an argument, Nakul charged at Gullu, and the two got into a physical fight. The whole house stepped in to pull them apart.
Scout, Love and Yung DSA tried to make Nakul see why he was wrong. Nakul said he was tired of all the drama and backbiting. He also claimed that if Scout had spat in Qazi's ear, Qazi would have played the victim and made a big issue of it.

The housemates backed Gullu and demanded that Nakul be evicted. Several women in the house also spoke against the violence and said they felt unsafe around him.
Later, Bigg Boss called everyone to the living room and scolded Nakul for the fight. He announced Nakul's elimination from the show because of the violence. As soon as the decision was made, Mahhi, Kanika, Gullu and Aasif Khan began clapping.
