All about Bigg Boss 18

Salman Khan, who has hosted every Bigg Boss season since its third season 15 years ago, returns as the host for yet another season. Over the last decade, Bigg Boss has been the most-watched TV show in India even as its TRP ratings have declined from its peak years. The 18th season has been pipped to be ‘different’ from previous years with a recent BTS-style promo from Salman Khan hinting at some major changes in the format. While there has been no confirmation about the contestants’ names apart from Nia, there have been speculations that Shilpa Shirodkar, Digvijay Singh Rathee, Shoaib Ibrahim, Nyraa Bannerjee, Muskan Bamne, Chahat Pandey, and Shehzada Dhami are to be a part of the show.
