Rohed Khan Biography, Age, Family, Career, Net Worth & Bigg Boss 20

Born in Afghanistan, raised across cultures and now an Austrian citizen, Rohed Khan is the kind of star whose life story reads like a film script. He started out in front of the camera as a model, landing international campaigns for names like Gillette, Doritos and Harley-Davidson, before his action-hero looks and martial-arts skills pulled him toward the big screen. Fluent in German, English, Dari/Farsi and Hindi, he made his Bollywood debut as the menacing Sarqalam in Kangana Ranaut’s Tejas (2023), then stormed into Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024) as a militant leader, and has since added Sarzameen, Detective Sherdil and the international drama Les Clochettes de Kaboul to his portfolio. In September 2026 he took his biggest leap yet into reality TV, entering Bigg Boss 20 to a warm welcome from host Salman Khan, who remembered him as “loyal” from the sets of Tiger. But the house proved tougher than any action set: after being directly nominated in Week 2 for discussing nominations with fellow housemates, and being told by Salman that his game was going unnoticed, Rohed reportedly received the fewest votes and became the first contestant evicted this season, leaving 15 housemates in the race. His journey in the house may be short, but with a global profile, a growing filmography and a fan base curious about what he does next, the story of Rohed Khan is far from over.

Rohed Khan in Bigg Boss 20: His Journey

Phase	When	What happened
Entry	6 Sept 2026 (premiere)	Introduced as an Austrian actor and model. Revealed that he was born in Afghanistan. Salman Khan recalled their earlier meeting and called him loyal.
Week 1	6–12 Sept	No eviction in the opening week, so all contestants stayed in the house.
Nomination controversy	Week 2	After the regular nominations, Bigg Boss showed footage of Rohed, Aasif Khan, ScoutOP and Yung DSA discussing nominations beforehand, which breaks the show’s rules. Yung DSA could not be nominated because of his captaincy immunity, so Rohed, Aasif and ScoutOP were directly nominated as punishment.
Lifeline twist	Week 2	Each nominee started with two lifelines. In a captaincy task, contenders removed one lifeline each: Kanika Mann picked Rohed, Mahhi Vij picked Aasif and Gullu picked ScoutOP. All three ended up with one lifeline.
Salman’s feedback	Weekend Ka Vaar	Salman reportedly told Rohed his game was not being noticed. Housemates had also raised concerns about his limited participation in some tasks.
Voting trends	Before 18 Sept deadline	Unofficial trends showed ScoutOP leading, with Aasif Khan and Rohed Khan trailing.
Outcome	Reported 18–19 Sept 2026	Reports say Rohed received the fewest votes of the three and became the first contestant evicted from Bigg Boss 20, after about two weeks in the house. Aasif Khan and ScoutOP survived.
Reaction	After the reports	Viewers were divided. Some felt the eviction was fair because he made little impact, while others questioned the Extra Jeevandaan concept.
