About Bigg Boss Season 20 (BB20) Colors TV & JioHotstar Show :- The landmark 20th season of India’s biggest and most sensational reality television show, Bigg Boss 20, officially premiered on Sunday, 6th September 2026. Adapted from the global reality franchise Big Brother, the Hindi edition of Bigg Boss has evolved into a nationwide cultural phenomenon over two decades of high-octane drama, unscripted emotions, and intense rivalry.
For Season 20, the show has embraced an ambitious theme titled “Vardaan” (The Boon).

how can manveer say that lopa is not deserving in finale.. who is he? just by winning one physical task? he thinks he is winner of bigg boss.
I agree, he lost my respect that day. He became fan of Bani now, because manu hangout with her. Its a shame manveer
Yaa u right Jo banda galat Mai bhi Manu kaa saath deta hai woh I think final Mai jaane ke liye deserves nahi Karta actually manveer and Manu lopa ko isliye blame karte hai taaki woh uski negative image ban jaaye and public use naa pasand kare warna starting Mai toh kabhi lopa ke saath aisa nahi Hua kyuki jab yhh dono Kisi or ko blaim karte thhe yhh dono bahut selfish hai manveer and Manu both are very selfish and plz India don’t vote for selfish person lopa is very gud contestants she knows to take and give respect ……
Mujhe lagta h ki lopa mudra apni jagha thik h aur jo galti h wo bani ki h
Yaa I am agree with you lopa apni jagah bilkul theek khel rahi hai but as a strong contestants manveer and manu dono milkar use blaim karte hai or footez Mai use galat batatw hai taaki woh galat proof Ho or woh as usual jiit jaaye manveer is good but woh hamesha galat Mai bhi manu kaa saath dete hai woh galat haii so lopa is very good contestant and obviously she deserves win for bb10
Hi manveer bhai ap show jeet na jeet gurjar ka dil jeet laya and bb11ek or gujjar ko aana ka moka mila ja bharat ja Hindustan and ja big boss ram ram g
