Bigg Boss 20’s Diwali family week was meant to be the emotional high point of the season. For rapper Yung DSA, it turned into a confession that has set social media on fire. Moments after hearing a message from his parents, he told housemate ScoutOP that he had cheated on his girlfriend around 10 times, and that she may have found out only after he entered the house.
Here’s what happened in the episode, why viewers are calling it out, and what it could mean for one of the season’s front-runners.
What Happened in the “Sandeshein Aate Hain” Task
Ahead of Diwali, Bigg Boss gave the housemates a cruel choice in the Sandeshein Aate Hain task. Recorded messages from their families were ready, but playing one meant someone had to give up one of their remaining lives in the game.
Kanika Mann held the power to play Yung DSA’s message. She first teased that she would choose the game over him, then revealed she was joking and pressed play. The rapper broke down as he listened to his parents.
Yung DSA’s Confession to ScoutOP
What upset him wasn’t what his family said. It was what they didn’t. His mother made no mention of his girlfriend, Samiksha, known as Sama, and Yung started worrying that the relationship was over. When ScoutOP came over to hug him, the conversation took a turn nobody expected.
- Yung told ScoutOP he had “lost” Samiksha.
- He admitted he had cheated on her many times, around 10 times on separate occasions.
- Asked whether she had stayed with him despite this, he said she hadn’t known, and guessed she may have found out after he went into the house.
Why Viewers Are Calling Him a Hypocrite
The backlash isn’t only about the cheating. It’s about timing. Over the past weeks, Yung DSA has been one of the loudest critics of ScoutOP’s equations with Love Gill and Kaashvi Hiranandani, questioning his friend’s loyalty on camera. Fans were quick to point out the contrast once he admitted his own behaviour.
Others said the confession punctured the “green flag” image he’d built in the house, where he often spoke about respecting women and his family’s values. His supporters argue the opposite: that admitting it on national television was honest, and that most contestants would never have said it at all.

Yung has been one of Bigg Boss 20’s most talked-about contestants since Day 1, from an early clash with Qazi Touqeer over mimicry to a physical fight with Gullu. Several fan polls have placed him alongside ScoutOP and Kanika Mann among the likely finalists.
Will This Hurt His Game?
Probably in the short term. Salman Khan usually addresses the week’s biggest controversy on Weekend Ka Vaar, and with Diwali falling on Sunday, this weekend’s episodes will be watched closely. The bigger risk is inside the house: his criticism of ScoutOP’s relationships now looks hard to repeat, and rivals will use the confession against him in nominations.
On the other hand, Bigg Boss audiences have a long history of forgiving contestants who come across as raw and unfiltered. How Yung handles the fallout in the coming days may matter more than the confession itself.
