The countdown to Bigg Boss 20 has officially begun, and the makers have already given viewers a glimpse of what could be one of the biggest changes to the show’s format. With Salman Khan returning as the host, the new trailer introduces a mysterious twist called ‘Extra Jeevan Daan’, suggesting that this season may be very different from what audiences have seen before.
The 20th season of the popular reality show is set to premiere on September 6 on JioHotstar and Colors. While the official contestant list is still awaited, the new trailer has already created curiosity among fans.
Salman Khan introduces ‘Extra Jeevan Daan’
The trailer opens with two warriors engaged in an intense battle. Salman Khan then steps in and stops the fight before revealing the season’s central concept.
Introducing the new twist, Salman says that contestants will get an ‘Extra Jeevan Daan’, or an additional lease on life in the Bigg Boss game.
However, the trailer deliberately keeps the rules of this advantage a secret. Viewers are not yet told whether the extra life can save a contestant from elimination, be earned through a task or come with certain conditions.
That uncertainty could become one of the most interesting aspects of the upcoming season.

Salman warns that the twist isn’t simple
Salman has also hinted that the ‘Jeevan Daan’ may not be as straightforward as its name suggests. Talking about the new format, he explained that Bigg Boss changes its game every year, but this time the way contestants play it is also changing.
He further suggested that viewers will only understand the real meaning of the twist once the contestants enter the house.
This could mean that the additional life comes with a catch or requires contestants to make difficult choices. If so, contestants may have to think carefully before using the advantage rather than simply treating it as a guaranteed safety card.
A new strategy for contestants
Bigg Boss has always been about nominations, tasks, alliances and survival, but an additional life could completely change how contestants approach the competition.
Contestants may become more willing to take risks if they know they have another chance. At the same time, knowing that the advantage could have hidden conditions might make them even more cautious.
Alliances could also become more important if contestants have the ability to influence who receives or uses the advantage.
The makers appear to be aiming for a format where contestants cannot rely on the strategies that worked in previous seasons.
Bigg Boss 20 marks a major milestone
The upcoming season is particularly significant because it marks the 20th season of Bigg Boss Hindi.
According to JioStar, the milestone season is being treated as an opportunity to reimagine the format and introduce new layers to the gameplay. The idea is to keep contestants adapting to changing circumstances while making decisions that could directly affect their journey inside the house.
The trailer is therefore only the beginning. More twists and rules are expected to be revealed once the season gets closer to its premiere.
Who will enter the Bigg Boss house?
The official contestant lineup has not yet been announced, but several celebrity names have been linked to the show through reports and speculation.
Among the names reportedly rumoured for Bigg Boss 20 are Nia Sharma, Arjun Bijlani, Karan Patel and Jannat Zubair. However, these names should be treated as speculation until the makers officially confirm the contestants.
The mystery surrounding the cast has only added to the anticipation surrounding the new season.
When and where to watch Bigg Boss 20?
Bigg Boss 20 will premiere on September 6, 2026, on Colors and JioHotstar, with Salman Khan returning to host the season.
With a new ‘Extra Jeevan Daan’ concept, an unconfirmed contestant lineup and promises of more surprises, the 20th season is already generating plenty of curiosity. The biggest question now is simple: Will the extra life actually save contestants, or will it come with a twist of its own?
