Bigg Boss 20: Gullu links Nakul Dhulls nafrat for him to Prince Narula and Elvish Yadavs rivalry

The ongoing tensions between Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, and wildcard contestant Nakul Dhull, also known as Mitthu Don, on Bigg Boss 20 appear to have roots outside the reality show. In a conversation with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer, Gullu opened up about his strained equation with Prince Narula and suggested that the hostility Nakul brought into the house was connected to the long-running rivalry between Prince and Elvish Yadav. Gullu, who was part of Elvishs gang on MTV Roadies XX, recalled how his relationship with Prince reportedly changed after he won the show. According to Gullu, Prince had once indicated that he would confront someone following an online exchange, while Gullu and Elvish were in Goa. Recalling the sequence of events, Gullu told Qazi, Online kisi ne kisi ko kuch bol diya, toh Prince bola, 'Main 4 taarikh ko aaunga 4 bajey aaunga. Aisi baat ho gayi. Uss time hum the Goa; main aur Elvish. Woh phir aaya piche se Gurgaon, Prince. Phir Prince ne diya ek podcast, mere Roadies jeetne ke baad. Kisi ne Prince se podcast mein poochha ki Gullu jeeta toh aapne wish karke story nahi lagayi, toh usne bola, 'Mujhe pata chala Gullu kisi ke side hai.' Phir usney mujey unfollow kiya, Prince ne. Gullu questions Nakuls involvement in the feud During the conversation, Qazi asked Gullu why Nakul had become involved in the matter in the first place. Gullu said he believed Nakul had brought an existing rivalry into the Bigg Boss house, despite having no direct reason to be involved in his equation with Elvish. Responding to Qazi, Gullu said, Ye kuch hoega... Mera Elvish acha dost hai. Main aur Elvish hai bhai, jaise, aur ye nafrat wahan se leke aaya. Iska kuch na lena na dena. Iska kuch kaam nahi. Ye khud chela hoega kisi ka. Iskey ustaad ne koi baat boli hogi toh ye chelagiri mein lag gaya. Nakuls clash with Gullu escalated into a physical altercation, leading to Nakuls eviction from Bigg Boss 20. The confrontation also drew attention to their respective associations with Prince and Elvish, whose rivalry dates back to their time as gang leaders on MTV Roadies XX.
