Bigg Boss 20, September 21, Episode 17 brings a major twist to the nomination process as contestants are asked to save fellow housemates instead of directly nominating them. Yung DSA and Isha Rikhi fail to receive a single saving vote and land in the danger zone. The episode then takes another dramatic turn when Aman Gandhi wins a ration opportunity and takes away one of Yung’s lifelines, leading to a heated clash between the two.
Yung DSA and Isha Rikhi Get Nominated

The nomination process takes a different route this week. Instead of naming contestants they want to nominate, the housemates are asked to choose two contestants whose lifelines they want to save.
Yung DSA and Isha Rikhi are the only two contestants who fail to receive any saving votes. As a result, both are nominated for eviction this week. For Yung, the situation becomes even more difficult because he soon loses one of his two lifelines during the luxury ration task.
Aman Gandhi Takes Yung DSA’s Lifeline for Ration
The housemates are given another opportunity to earn luxury ration after the earlier ration task does not provide them with enough food. The contestant who reaches Room No. 20 first gets a special power connected to the ration.
Aman Gandhi manages to reach the room first. He is then given the choice of taking away one lifeline from a contestant with two lives in exchange for luxury ration. Aman chooses Yung DSA, leaving the rapper with just one lifeline while Aman secures the ration basket for the house.
Key moments:
- Aman Gandhi: Reaches Room No. 20 first and wins the special power.
- Yung DSA: Loses one of his two lifelines.
- Isha Rikhi: Enters the nomination list after receiving no saving votes.
- Gullu: Becomes part of the discussion surrounding the decision.
