Bigg Boss 20 contestants bring up Mahhi Vij’s seven-year-old daughter, Tara, during an in-house task, prompting reactions from both Jay Bhanushali and Vivian Dsena. Multiple outlets report that Jay says the comments crossed a personal and parental boundary, while Vivian supports the stance that children should not be pulled into adult disputes.

NDTV covers Vivian Dsena urging Jay Bhanushali’s side (and separately backing Mahhi Vij) and stresses that players can question gameplay, but a clear boundary should be kept around children. Free Press Journal similarly highlights Vivian’s personal link, saying he recalls how bringing his daughter’s name into the show affected him, and he urges “leave the children out” of the fight.

Jay’s response is framed as protective and privacy-focused in several reports. Times of India and Free Press Journal say Jay vows to stop his kids from watching Bigg Boss, while NDTV reports he also asks fans not to tag his children after the controversy. Free Press Journal adds more detail about specific remarks made during the task, while the other outlets focus more on the general principle of keeping children out.
