'Bigg Boss 20' new promo: Salman Khan teases 'vardaan' twist
What's the story
The much-anticipated Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 is set to premiere on September 6. On Tuesday, JioHotstar and Colors released the first teaser for this milestone season, hosted by superstar Salman Khan. Now, two days later, another video features Khan in a Roman amphitheater-style setting with a wooden giant eye on the wall and hints at an exciting twist for the contestants. Khan says that this time housemates will get a boon (vardaan).
Fan theories
What does 'boon' mean for contestants?
Fans have been speculating about the meaning of Khan's cryptic line in the first teaser, "Jo Karan Arjun mein hua tha, woh hoga ab Bigg Boss mein... Tathas-two!"
Some believe it hints at a possible appearance by his Karan Arjun co-star Shah Rukh Khan, while others think old contestants will return with new alliances.
Interestingly, Khan repeated the phrase "tathas-two" in the new teaser. So, what will be this boon?
Contestant speculation
Will contestants enter in pairs?
Fans have also speculated that this season could see contestants entering the house in pairs.
One user wrote, "That means old contestants are coming back!! But tathas-two.... Are they coming in Pair of two?"
Another fan argued, "If the theme is just old contestants versus new contestants, then that's not really new, it was already done in Bigg Boss 14 and Bigg Boss 15."
Show format
Multiple language versions of 'Bigg Boss 20'
Like previous seasons, Bigg Boss 20 will also have a digital-first format. The show will first stream on JioHotstar at 9:00pm followed by its television broadcast on Colors TV at 10:30pm every Monday to Sunday.
