The countdown to Bigg Boss 20 has begun, with the popular reality show preparing to return for its 20th season. Salman Khan is once again set to host the show, and the makers have now released the first trailer, giving viewers a glimpse of a new twist that could change the way contestants play the game.
In the newly released trailer, Salman Khan is seen stopping two people who appear to be involved in a heated argument. He then introduces the idea of an extra chance in the Bigg Boss house by saying, “Bigg Boss mein milega, meri jaan… extra jeevan daan (You’ll get an extra lease on life in Bigg Boss, my dear),” before ending the promo with his trademark “Tathas-two.”
The trailer suggests that contestants could receive a second chance or what the makers are calling a Jeevan Daan. However, the exact meaning of this twist has not been revealed. It remains unclear whether the extra chance will be connected to eliminations, tasks, nominations or another part of the game.
Salman has also made it clear that the new twist will not be as simple as it sounds. Speaking about the upcoming season, the actor said, “The game in Bigg Boss changes every year. This time, it’s not just the game that’s changing, but the way it is played as well. ‘Jeevan Daan’ isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. As for the rest — well, you’ll find out once inside the house.”
The statement suggests that the new season could introduce changes not only to the rules but also to how contestants approach the competition. The makers have so far kept the details of the format under wraps.
Several celebrity names have been linked to Bigg Boss 20, although there is no official confirmation about the final contestant list. Names that have emerged in reports and discussions include Nia Sharma, Arjun Bijlani, Karan Patel and Jannat Zubair.
With the first trailer now released, attention is likely to remain on the mystery surrounding Jeevan Daan and how it will affect the contestants once they enter the house.
Bigg Boss 20 will premiere with episode 1 on September 6, with Salman Khan returning as the host.
