What Gullu Said on Bigg Boss 20

In a conversation with fellow contestant Qazi Touqeer, Gullu confirmed for the first time that he was married. He said the marriage lasted about four to six months and that he was not in love; he entered it because of family and community pressure. He described 2024 as an important year that brought lasting personal experiences, and called the divorce period a “low phase.” He said everyone thought it was wrong and he kept trying, but eventually understood it was not working. Gullu also said his family cut ties with him over the decision, citing reputation and social standing, and that the matter took about a year to settle. He said wedding images were leaked while he was in Goa with the Roadies gang, and he lip-synched “Divorce” on camera, leaving Qazi stunned.

• Marriage duration: about 4–6 months, per Gullu’s on-screen statement.
• Reason cited: family and community pressure, not love.
• Family fallout: relatives cut him off, citing reputation and social standing.
• Photo leak: Gullu said wedding images were leaked while he was in Goa with the Roadies gang.

Context and Caveats

The divorce and marriage details come from an entertainment television episode and news reports based on it, not from independent legal records. Google Trends confirms that many Indians searched for gullu on September 23, 2026; it does not verify what was said on the show. Readers should treat the personal details as reported claims from Bigg Boss 20 coverage dated September 23, 2026.
