Mary Kom, a boxing champion, was evicted from Bigg Boss 20 on Saturday during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, seven weeks after entering as the season's most senior contestant. She lost both her lifelines after a new rule on lifelines was introduced during the episode, leaving her without protection.

As she departed, Kom thanked her fellow contestants and expressed hope they would miss her. She told them to play well and display their personalities, and noted that one social media creator reminded her of her own daughter.

Why it matters

Bigg Boss is a major reality television franchise in India, and Kom's participation as the season's most senior contestant made her eviction a significant moment in the show's current season.
