Bigg Boss 20 (Hindi) premiered on 6 September 2026, with Salman Khan returning as host for another season. Eighteen contestants entered the house on launch night, drawn from television, Bollywood, digital content, sport and music.

The house

The confirmed line-up spans a wide mix of backgrounds: Olympic boxer Mary Kom, television actors including Kanika Mann, Mahhi Vij, Aasif Khan, Aman Gandhi and Isha Rikhi, Bhojpuri star Amrapali Dubey, digital creators Arishfa Khan and Yung Dsa, esports athlete and streamer Tanmay Singh (“ScoutOP”), singers Riti Tiwari and Qazi Touqeer, Punjabi entertainment personality Love Gill, reality-show veteran Kushal Tanwar (“Gullu”), Rhiya Yadav, Austria-based actor Rohed Khan, and actor Faissal Khan, brother of Bollywood star Aamir Khan.

Full profiles for every housemate, updated as the season progresses, are on our contestants page.

What’s new this season

The most notable format change is a “two lives” twist: rather than a straightforward weekly elimination, a nominated contestant who receives the least audience support loses one of two “lives” before actually leaving the house. It changes the maths of early nominations considerably — losing a life stings, but it isn’t necessarily the end of the run.

How we’re covering it

This is an independent fan site, not the official Bigg Boss page. We’ll publish original updates after nomination rounds, Weekend Ka Vaar episodes and major house events, plus our own analysis. We link out to the show’s official channels for actual video content rather than re-hosting anything, and our polls are fan polls only — not official voting.
