While fans are still recovering from the drama of Bigg Boss 19, rumors about the upcoming Season 20 are already taking the internet by storm. Although the official announcement from the makers is still awaited, the name of the first potential contestant has been leaked, and it’s not who you’d expect. Breaking away from the tradition of actors and influencers, this year might see a classical music maestro in the house.

Who is Bhagirath Bhatt? According to viral reports on social media fan pages, world-renowned Sitarist Bhagirath Bhatt is likely the first confirmed contestant for Bigg Boss 20. Hailing from Jamnagar, Gujarat, Bhatt is a gold medalist in music and has contributed his soulful sitar melodies to blockbusters like ‘Padmaavat’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, and ‘Mission Raniganj’. His work is also prominent in hit web series like ‘Heeramandi’ and ‘Bandish Bandits’.

Why Bhagirath Bhatt? Speculations suggest that for the 20th milestone season, Salman Khan and the makers want to diversify the talent pool. Introducing a person from a rich musical background could bring a fresh dynamic to the controversial house. While neither the musician nor the production team has confirmed the news, the buzz is undeniable.

Launch Date Trends Sources suggest that Bigg Boss 20 is slated to premiere in September 2026. After Salman Khan’s promise during the Season 19 finale to see fans in the next edition, the anticipation is at an all-time high. Will Bhagirath Bhatt be the one to kick off the high-voltage drama this year?
