The 20th season of Bigg Boss is coming soon, but this time, there is something special about this game. The trailer of the new season introduces an innovative idea by Salman Khan called ‘Extra Jeevan Daan’. The new addition could change the way contestants approach the game, making every move, alliance and decision even more important.
Salman Khan reveals the biggest twist
The trailer begins with two warriors locked in a fierce battle before Salman Khan steps in and brings the fight to a stop. He then introduces the season’s central twist, saying, “Bigg Boss mein milega, meri jaan… extra jeevan daan (You’ll get an extra lease on life in Bigg Boss, my dear),” before signing off with his trademark “Tathas-two”.
While the trailer confirms that contestants will have an additional chance in the game, it keeps the details of how the extra lease on life works under wraps. The mystery around when and how this advantage can be used is likely to become one of the biggest talking points once the contestants enter the house. For now, the message is clear: playing it safe may not be an option this season.
Salman Khan opened up about the new theme and hinted that the extra lease on life may not be as straightforward as it sounds. 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.”
A new take on the format
Speaking about the milestone season, Alok Jain, Head Hindi & English Entertainment Business, JioStar (Streaming, TV & Studios) said in a statement, “Twenty seasons is a landmark milestone for any entertainment franchise, and for Bigg Boss Hindi, it is a celebration of a journey that has continued to evolve with every season. As we enter this milestone chapter, we wanted to reimagine the game and raise the stakes in a way that feels fresh, unexpected and exciting for both contestants and audiences.”
He added, “With Season 20, we are taking a more innovative approach to the format, introducing new layers to the gameplay that challenge conventional strategies and create new possibilities inside the house. The trailer offers the first glimpse of this evolved gameplay, with more new elements designed to keep contestants adapting, taking risks and making choices that can reshape their journey.”
