Nakul Dhull

Nakul Dhull is an Indian content creator from Faridabad, Haryana, who posts as Mitthu Don. His short videos, memes and livestreams built a following of more than a million on Instagram before television found him, and his week inside Bigg Boss 20 in October 2026 made him a national name for reasons that had little to do with comedy. He entered as the season's second wildcard, was reported to be out of the house within days after a physical altercation, and left behind an audience that arrived faster than his body of work could explain him.

Who Nakul Dhull is

Nakul Dhull is a content creator from Faridabad, Haryana, who publishes as Mitthu Don. He was known before television for short videos built on sarcastic humour, memes and commentary, the register that travels furthest on Instagram reels and the one that made him a recognisable face in a market already crowded with Haryanvi creators.[1][2]

His public profile changed in the second week of October 2026, when he walked into Bigg Boss 20 as a wildcard contestant and walked out of it within days. Indian outlets had already described him as a viral meme face before the show cast him, which is a fair description of a career that was built on being forwarded rather than on being watched for an hour at a time.[7]

Almost everything published about him was written inside a three week window around that appearance, and much of it repeats the same handful of unattributed numbers. This entry separates what named outlets reported from what he has said about himself, and it marks the rest as unconfirmed rather than filling the gaps.

Early life and Faridabad

Nakul Dhull comes from Faridabad in Haryana, the detail that every profile of him agrees on and the one that explains the content.[1][2] His humour is built out of the language, the gym culture and the local male archetype of the region, and the audience that made him travelled from the same places.

India TV put his age at 27 in its report on his entry. He has not published a date of birth, so the year of his birth is a press estimate rather than a record, and profiles that print a full date are working from an unsourced figure.[2]

Inside the house he described himself as a chemistry teacher, and the show's coverage repeated the description without establishing a school or a degree. That is the only professional detail beyond content creation that he has offered in public. No verified account of his schooling or his college has been published by any outlet that covers him.

The Mitthu Don persona

Mitthu Don is a character before it is a handle. The videos that carried the name are loud, deliberately overconfident and built on mock confrontations, and the joke usually turns on the creator being as ridiculous as the person he is arguing with. It is a repeatable identity rather than a single viral clip, and repeatable identities are what platforms reward.[2]

The name is part of the product. An odd nickname is easier to remember than a surname, it survives being typed into a comment section, and it lets the person behind it say things the account could not say under his own name. Coverage of his entry almost always leads with Mitthu Don and puts Nakul Dhull in brackets, which is the clearest measure of which of the two the audience arrived for.[1][2]

That separation became awkward when the persona attracted criticism. A remark defended as a joke by a character is a different act from the same remark made by a named person, and the show put him in the second position, where the audience could see the man and not only the edit.

Content and audience

Reports at the time of his entry put his Instagram following at about 1.4 million, with a single post on the account, which is an unusual shape for a creator whose work is short form video.[2] News18, writing on the same day, described him as having crossed a million followers before the show.[1] A feed carrying a single post is also the reason the show audience had very little to discover once it arrived, since the archive is what usually converts a television viewer into a follower.

He also publishes on YouTube, where the channel carries the same name as the persona. Longer commentary and livestreams sit there, and the split is the standard one for Indian creators: discovery happens on Instagram, and payment and depth happen on YouTube. The stream is also where a creator answers a controversy directly, which is what the channels around him did throughout October.

The remarks about women

Old videos of Nakul Dhull resurfaced before and during his entry on the show. The Economic Times, reporting the backlash on 11 October, described controversy over his comment on women, and the same clips were circulating widely enough that the criticism arrived before his first episode finished.[3]

Inside the house he addressed the clips directly, in a conversation with Asif Khan, Qazi Touqeer and others. He said his words had been taken out of context and that a different interpretation had been spread: "Logon ne chala diya ki Nakul bol raha hai ki inke peeche bhaago, banda nikalo." On the substance he argued that the video had reached people who were not his audience and that the reaction followed. "Aur woh video un tak pahunch gayi, aisi Lanka lagi hai na." On his own position he was unambiguous: "Jo mujhe dekhta hai, usko pata hai ki main very pro-feminist hoon."[5]

The Times of India report that carried those quotes also referred in its headline to an ongoing legal case. The article itself did not describe the case, and no outlet that covered the exchange set out its details, so what exists in public is a reference rather than a record.[5]

The sequence matters for the way the episode is read. A creator whose persona depends on provocation does not get to choose which of his sentences travel, and the ones that travelled here were the ones that could be read as a comment on stalking. The defence he offered was about intent; the objection was about effect, and the two arguments did not meet.

Bigg Boss 20: the wildcard entry

Nakul Dhull entered Bigg Boss 20 as the second wildcard of the season, during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of 11 October 2026, a day after the television actor Manish Goel joined the house.[1][2] Reports of both entries had circulated for a day before the broadcast, and the makers did not confirm either in advance.[3]

His introduction was the standard one for an internet entrant: he told the housemates he was a chemistry teacher, and he told the audience that he wanted his real personality on record rather than the edited one.[2] He walked into a house that had already been running for weeks, with groups formed and histories he had not been part of, which is the structural disadvantage every wildcard carries and the reason so many of them reach for confrontation.

The fight with Gullu and the exit

On 12 October, fan accounts reported a physical altercation between Nakul Dhull and Kushal Tanwar, who appears on the show as Gullu. The Sunday Guardian reported the claim from BB Tak and noted that neither the contestants nor the makers had confirmed it at that point, and India TV wrote the same day that Bigg Boss had reportedly asked him to leave over the incident.[6][2]

The sequence that India TV reconstructed on 14 October began with a conversation involving Qazi Touqeer and ScoutOP. Qazi was describing an earlier moment in which he had spat in Scout's ear during a playful exchange, and he later discussed it with other contestants, including Gullu and Mahhi Vij. Nakul overheard it, told Scout what was being said, and then challenged Qazi for discussing it behind Scout's back rather than addressing it directly. The disagreement escalated, Scout confronted Qazi, Gullu intervened, and a remark from Gullu angered Nakul. What had been an argument became pushing and shoving.[4]

Bigg Boss then called the contestants to the living area and told them that physical violence was a serious violation of the house rules. The eviction was announced that night, and India TV reported that he left at midnight on 14 October. The footage it cited came from the show itself, but no formal statement was issued by the makers, which is why the reporting rests on the broadcast and on what the housemates were told rather than on an announcement.[4]

A week is not enough time for the format to work on anyone. A wildcard needs screen time to become a character the audience has an opinion about, and a wildcard removed early gets the first half of that and none of the second, which is why his exit was covered as a controversy rather than as a game move.

After the show

The audience that arrives during a reality show is the easiest one a creator will ever be handed and the hardest to keep. It comes for the show rather than for the work, and the archive that would normally hold it, the videos that explain who the person is, was largely absent from his profile when the show ended.

The alternative is to double down on the persona that got him cast: louder, more confrontational, more of the register that made the clips travel. That is profitable quickly and expensive later, because the same sentences that produce reach are the ones that make brand work difficult, and the trajectory of creators who have taken that route is well documented by the brands that stopped calling.

What he does next is the open question in everything written about him, and none of the coverage published in October 2026 answered it. At the time of writing he has not given a long interview about the show, the exit or the clips, and the record therefore stops at the doorstep of the house.

What has not been confirmed

Nakul Dhull has not published a date of birth. The age of 27 reported at his entry is a newsroom figure, and profiles that print a specific date are not sourced to anything he or his family said.[2]

His height and weight have not been confirmed by him, and the biography sites that carry figures disagree with each other. His education is the same story in reverse: he described himself as a chemistry teacher on the show, and no outlet has verified a degree, a college or a graduating year, so a claim that circulates about a specific university should be treated as unverified.

His family, his relationship status and his net worth are not public. The earnings estimates on biography aggregator sites are unsourced, and the only measurable commercial asset in the public record is the size of his following as reported by the press during the show.

The legal case mentioned in the Times of India headline about his response inside the house has not been described in detail anywhere that this entry could find. It is recorded here as a reference that exists, not as a fact that has been established.
