As the countdown for the landmark 20th season of India’s biggest reality show, ‘Bigg Boss’, begins, fans are buzzing with excitement over the potential list of contestants. Breaking the tradition of typical TV faces, a unique name has emerged as a frontrunner: the world-renowned sitar player and composer, Bhagirath Bhatt.

Hailing from Jamnagar, Gujarat, Bhagirath is not just a musician but a cultural phenomenon. His soulful sitar compositions have graced some of Bollywood’s most iconic soundtracks, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’, Kartik Aaryan’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, and the much-awaited ‘Border 2’. His musical genius extends to digital platforms as well, with stellar contributions to ‘Heeramandi’ and ‘Bandish Bandits’, and even global projects like Netflix’s ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’.

A Gold Medalist from the prestigious Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Bhagirath has collaborated with legends such as A.R. Rahman, Arijit Singh, and Sonu Nigam. Recently honored with an Honorary Doctorate from Switzerland’s Dunster Business School, Bhatt’s rumored entry into the Salman Khan-hosted show has sparked intense curiosity. Fans are eager to see if this disciplined artist can navigate the high-voltage drama and chaotic environment of the Bigg Boss house. While official confirmation is still awaited, the prospect of seeing a classical maestro swap his concert stage for a reality show is already making ‘Bigg Boss 20’ a trending topic nationwide.
