The wait for Bigg Boss 20 is finally coming to an end, but the contestant line-up has remained one of the biggest talking points ahead of Salman Khan’s return to the reality show. Bigg Boss 20 premieres tonight, September 6, 2026, streaming on JioHotstar and airing on Colors TV. The makers have revealed some contestants through promos, while keeping the faces of others hidden. Meanwhile, reports and social media buzz have added several more names to the list. Among the faces officially introduced in Bigg Boss 20 through promos is Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari. Other names, including Isha Rikhi, Kanika Mann and Yung DSA, have also been widely reported as confirmed, although the makers have not released one complete official list ahead of the premiere. Here’s a look at the Bigg Boss 20 contestant list.
Manoj Tiwari’s daughter Rhiti Tiwari is the first contestant officially revealed through a recent Bigg Boss 20 promo. The 24-year-old is a singer and musician and has largely stayed away from the kind of constant media attention enjoyed by her father. Her entry will give viewers a chance to know her beyond being Manoj Tiwari’s daughter.

Punjabi actor Isha Rikhi is another prominent name linked to the new season and has received a Bigg Boss 20 promo-led introduction but face wasn’t revealed. She has been in the spotlight recently following her separation from rapper Badshah. Isha has said she wants audiences to know her for who she is, rather than only through her personal life.
