The four defaulters were caught for breaching the show’s contract, while Ashutosh Kaushik, Zulfi Sayed and Raja Chaudhary apologized for their actions, Rahul Mahajan decided to call it quits and left the show right away.
2. Kushal Tandon : ‘The angry young man’ of season 7
Kushal Tandon is a name that still resonates with the audience for his ugly spats with Arman Kohli and Tanisha Mukherjee. After a huge fight in the middle of season 7 when Tanisha Mukherjee pushed Kushal Tandon, the furious actor demanded an instant apology. The Beyhadh actor went ahead and warned Big Boss to take action against Tanisha. When no reaction came from the makers of the show, Kushal Tandon decided to jump off the same fence and leave the show midway. However, Kushal was later reprimanded for his action and was brought back on the show.
3. Ali Quli Mirza : ‘The Teja’ of Season 8
Ali Quli Mirza was one of the most controversial contestants in the history of Big Boss. In a heated argument, Sonali, a co-contestant of the show, ended up slapping Ali Quli Mirza for making an unpleasant remark about her on the show. Ali became enraged by this and rushed around the house yelling at the big boss & the makers of the show to act before deciding to jump off the fence and leave the building. Sonali was later punished by Big Boss and was nominated for the entire season.
4. Vikas Gupta : The ‘master mind’ of season 11
Well known for his tag of ‘master mind’, Vikas Gupta was a contestant of the show Big Boss in season 11.

After failing to jump off the fence, frustrated Vikas Gupta told Big Boss that he wants to leave the show even if he takes a penalty of Rs 2 crore for breaching the contract. The mastermind, however, chose to continue on the show after Big Boss asked him to re-think about his decision.
5. Shivashish Mishra : ‘The entertaining businessman’ of Season 12
Shivashish Mishra, who entered season 12 of Big Boss as a commoner, gave up on the show midway and decided to escape the house.

The contestant also mentioned that he thinks he has held the wrong path and wants to leave it. The contestants of the show, however, noticed Shivashish Mishra, who was trying to jump off the walls of the house and ran to stop him.
