Bigg Boss 20 Rumors Intensify as Actress Redheema Drops Hint on Instagram
One of the most controversial and widely watched reality shows on Indian television, Bigg Boss, is gearing up for its highly anticipated return with a new season scheduled for September 2026. While the premiere is still over two years away, the buzz surrounding potential contestants has already begun to dominate online discussions and entertainment news circles.
Redheema's Cryptic Response Fuels Speculation
The latest name to emerge in the rumor mill is television actress Redheema, whose real name is Ridhima Gupta. Known for her role as Satpal Kohli, Trilochan’s wife, in the daily soap Megha Barsenge starring Neil Bhatt and Neha Rana, Redheema recently fueled speculation during an "ask me anything" session on her Instagram account. When a fan inquired, "Bigg Boss me kab aaoge aap," she responded with "On the way hu," accompanied by a smiling emoji. This cryptic reply has ignited a flurry of online debates and discussions, with many interpreting it as a strong indication that she has been officially approached for Bigg Boss 20.
However, it is crucial to note that Redheema has neither confirmed nor made any official announcement regarding her participation in the reality show. Describing herself as an artist, model, and actor, she has also appeared in earlier projects like Rang Rasiya. Her potential inclusion in the Bigg Boss lineup has added to the growing excitement and anticipation for the upcoming season.
Earlier Reports Highlight Bhagirath Bhatt as Potential Contestant
Prior to the Redheema rumors, reports had already surfaced about sitarist Bhagirath Bhatt being approached as the first contestant for Bigg Boss Season 20. Bhagirath has an impressive portfolio, having contributed to the background scores of several popular Bollywood projects, including Padmaavat, Malaal, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Border 2, Heeramandi, Qala, Kota Factory 2, Gullak, Jubilee, and Bandish Bandits. Beyond Indian cinema, he has also worked on international projects such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and the 2014 Hollywood film The American Gandhi.
Recap of Bigg Boss Season 19 and Recent Controversies
Bigg Boss wrapped up its nineteenth season on a grand note on December 7th last year, with Anupamaa fame Gaurav Khanna being announced as the winner and Farrhana Bhatt declared as the first runner-up. The show continues to generate headlines, not just for its contestants but also for external critiques. Recently, Ashneer Grover made headlines by slamming the "weekend superstar" hosts, taking a veiled jab at Salman Khan and the Bigg Boss franchise itself, adding another layer of controversy to the show's legacy.
As the speculation around Bigg Boss 20 builds, fans and critics alike are eagerly awaiting official confirmations and further developments. The combination of Redheema's hint and earlier reports about Bhagirath Bhatt has created a significant online buzz, setting the stage for what promises to be another dramatic and engaging season of India's most talked-about reality television program.
