Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 has entered a phase where wildcard entries are becoming a major talking point among viewers. However, as of September 28, 2026, there has been no official confirmation of a wildcard contestant entering the house this week. Names including Akriti Negi and Rhiya Ahir have been circulating in reports and on social media, while actor Karan Wahi has now clearly denied speculation about joining the show.
Akriti Negi and Rhiya Ahir in Wildcard Speculation
Akriti Negi and Rhiya Ahir are among the names being discussed as possible wildcard contestants for Bigg Boss 20. Reports suggesting their potential entry emerged in September, with some outlets describing the pair as possible additions to the house.
However, there has been no official announcement from the show’s makers confirming either contestant. A September 25 report noted that Akriti had addressed the speculation but that there was still no formal confirmation regarding her entry.
Rhiya Ahir’s name has also continued to appear in wildcard discussions. She was initially part of the special audience-vote twist before the premiere, where viewers chose between Rhiya and Love Gill. Love Gill won that vote and entered the house, while Rhiya’s initial Bigg Boss journey ended before she became a regular housemate.
The possibility of Rhiya returning as a wildcard has since become a topic of online speculation, but no official confirmation has been issued.
Karan Wahi Clears the Air
The biggest clarification this week came from Karan Wahi, whose name had been linked to Bigg Boss 20 because his former partner Uditi Singh is currently a contestant.
Earlier reports and social media discussions gained momentum after Wahi shared an image involving an UNO Wild Card, which some fans interpreted as a hint about Bigg Boss. He subsequently addressed the speculation directly during an Instagram interaction and said that the post referred to the UNO card game, not the reality show. Wahi stated that he was not coming to Bigg Boss this year.
The speculation was further amplified because Uditi had spoken about her past relationship with Wahi inside the house. She had earlier said that she had moved on and would not object to his possible participation.
No Confirmed Wildcard Entry Yet
For now, Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 continues without an officially announced wildcard entry for this week. Akriti Negi and Rhiya Ahir remain names associated with reports and speculation, while Karan Wahi has ruled himself out for the current season.
With the show’s makers yet to announce any new entrant, viewers will have to wait for an official promo or confirmation before treating the wildcard reports as final
