Who Might Join The House?
Reports suggest names like Mahhi Vij, Sunil Pal, Jannat Zubair, Showik Chakroborty, and Geeta Basra could feature in the upcoming season, though an official contestant list is still awaited.
Now in its 20th season, Bigg Boss remains one of Indian television’s longest-running and most-watched reality franchises, following the format popularized globally by Big Brother.
