Who is Love Gill? Punjabi actress beats viral CJP girl Rhiya Ahir to enter Salman Khan's show Bigg Boss Season 20

Bigg Boss 20 has already delivered its first major twist. Salman Khan returned as the host as the new season premiered on September 6, and viewers were given the power to decide who would enter the house between Punjabi actress Love Gill and Rhiya Ahir, who became known online after her appearance during the CJP protests. After the “Fans Ka Faisla” twist, Love emerged as the contestant chosen to enter the reality show.

Love’s entry also came with a tense exchange with Rhiya during the premiere. Salman brought up their earlier comments about each other, leading to a conversation about Rhiya’s actions during the protests and Love’s views on them. While their differences were visible on stage, Love’s journey in the entertainment industry has taken a very different route.

Who is Love Gill? Journey from modelling to acting

Love Gill, whose real name is Lovepreet Kaur Gill, is a Punjabi actress and model who has worked across music videos, television and films. She started her career with modelling before getting opportunities to appear in music videos.


One of her early major appearances came in 2019, when she reportedly featured in a popular music video by Punjabi singer Karan Aujla. The appearance helped her gain recognition among Punjabi music fans and opened the door to more acting opportunities.




Love later moved to television. In 2020, she appeared in the Punjabi show Tu Patang Main Dor, where she played Zarina. The series ran from 2020 to 2022 and gave her an opportunity to establish herself as an actor.

Her film journey began soon after. Love made her Punjabi cinema debut with Kuriyan Jawan Bapu Pareshaan in 2021, where she played Sandy Sharma. She subsequently appeared in several Punjabi projects, including Haterz, Kulche Chole, Gadar 1947: Ikk Vichhoda and Vekhi Ja Chhedi Na.

Her more recent work includes projects such as Hanji Kaun? and Furlow. With each project, Love has continued to build her presence in the Punjabi entertainment industry.

Love Gill vs Rhiya Ahir on Bigg Boss 20

Love’s Bigg Boss 20 entry became more interesting because she was initially presented as one of two contenders for a place in Salman Khan’s show. The makers introduced Love and Rhiya under the “Fans Ka Faisla” twist, leaving the final decision to the audience.

Rhiya recalled standing in front of a van during the incident. Love responded by pointing out the seriousness of the situation, saying that if the driver had not stopped, Rhiya might not have been alive today. Rhiya, however, explained that she felt her purpose had been fulfilled at that particular moment.

The conversation took another turn when Love spoke about how contestants should approach life inside the Bigg Boss house. She told Rhiya that everyone in the house could stand up and fight for their own rights, suggesting that Rhiya did not need to take responsibility for everyone else.

Who is entering Salman Khan’s reality show?

The “Fans Ka Faisla” twist gave viewers an unusual role in deciding the contestant lineup. Instead of simply watching the contestants enter the house, the audience had a say in choosing between Love and Rhiya.

Love eventually secured her place on Bigg Boss 20, bringing her experience from the Punjabi entertainment industry to one of Hindi television’s biggest reality shows.

Her journey so far has included modelling, music videos, television and Punjabi films. From appearing in a Karan Aujla music video to taking on acting roles, she has gradually expanded her career across different formats.

Now, Bigg Boss 20 gives Love an opportunity to reach a much wider audience. The reality show will put her personality, relationships and ability to handle pressure in the spotlight, which could introduce her to viewers who may not have followed her Punjabi work.
