With the premiere of Bigg Boss 20 just around the corner, the excitement around Salman Khan's reality show is reaching a new high. While the makers have kept the contestant lineup under wraps, several names have been doing the rounds. Among the latest names reportedly confirmed for the upcoming season are actor Rohed Khan and Rhiti Tiwari.
According to Variety India, Rohed Khan and Rhiti Tiwari have joined the growing list of contestants expected to enter the Bigg Boss 20 house. Their reported inclusion adds to an already diverse lineup, with names from television, social media, entertainment and other fields being linked to the show.
Rhiti Tiwari's reported participation has attracted particular attention. She is the daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari and his first wife, Rani. Recent reports have claimed that Rhiti is among the contestants finalised for the new season. Her entry could bring a personal and family dimension to the show, considering her father's long association with the entertainment industry and his political career. He was also a part of Bigg Boss season 4.
Rohed Khan, meanwhile, is another name that has surfaced in the latest updates surrounding the contestant list. Details about his participation and what he could bring to the Bigg Boss house remain limited, but his reported entry has added another layer of curiosity among fans waiting to see the final lineup.
The makers have been building anticipation ahead of the premiere with several twists and updates. Reports have suggested that the upcoming season will feature a mix of established television personalities, social media stars and newcomers. Among the names previously linked to the show are Karan Wahi, Isha Rikhi, Arishfa Khan, Amrapali Dubey, Mahhi Vij and others. However, not every name doing the rounds has received official confirmation.
The season will also reportedly feature a pre-launch audience participation twist. Two potential contestants, Rhiya Ahir and Punjabi actor-model Lovepreet Kaur, also known as Love Gill, have been presented to viewers, with fans getting an opportunity to decide who enters the house through voting.
Salman Khan is set to return as the host for the landmark 20th season. Bigg Boss 20 is scheduled to premiere on September 6, 2026, with the show expected to stream on JioHotstar and air on Colors TV.
With the premiere only days away, the reported additions of Rohed Khan and Rhiti Tiwari are likely to further fuel speculation about the final contestant lineup. Fans will have to wait for the grand premiere to see which names actually make their way into the Bigg Boss house.
