Who Is Manish Goel?
Manish entered as a surprise. He was first presented as a guest, and then host Salman Khan revealed he would be staying as a contestant. The actor has decades of experience and has appeared in popular Hindi shows including Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Bhagyalakshmi and, most recently, Anupamaa, where he played Raghav Singh.
He’s also a reality TV veteran. Manish and his wife, Poonam Narula, finished as runners-up on Nach Baliye. He has appeared in Zara Nachke Dikha and Ustaadon Ka Ustaad, won the cooking show Welcome- Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki in 2013 and later hosted BIG Memsaab.
Who Is Nakul Dhull?
Nakul brings a very different background. After entering, he told housemates that he gives tuition classes to students in Classes 11 and 12, while fellow contestant ScoutOP pointed out that he creates content online. His arrival also revived attention to an older controversy involving a viral prank video that drew heavy criticism online.
Why These Entries Matter?
Wildcards often change the house’s balance. A seasoned television actor and a social media creator could form new alliances or challenge existing ones. The house is also coming off a dramatic Weekend Ka Vaar, so fresh faces arrive at a tense moment.
