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). In a game-changing twist unveiled during the grand premiere, the makers introduced the revolutionary “Extra Jeevan Daan” (also dubbed the Tathas-two concept). This game mechanic gives contestants a rare lifeline to reverse evictions, setting the stage for an unpredictable battle of strategy, survival, and alliances.

Big Boss is considered to be a program of entertainment. If not,
then the Heading needed to be changed. If changed, then we call it
How do we live with others in a circumstances like, natural
calamities such as earth quack, flood etc. In this case, the participants
will show their real traits. It seems to be a stage managed program.
Are they want to Boss over other participants to become Boss of
the program? Then this is not real. As a normal TV program viewer,
I prefer to see what they do in real life as member of a family even though they are not really related. This is what we see in case of
flood and earth quacks. We start helping each other without any
discrimination of caste, religion or color or Nationality etc. Our
Kamal always conveyed through his films to our countrymen, that Nation is first and always and every time. Let us think it over.
Let them show their day to day behavior without Bossing over
the other participants. They are trying to hoodwink others to Boss over
others. This should be stopped. Try to come down to Mother Earth, and
this is the need of the hour to find out the ground reality. We will automatically identify the person LEADING them over others as LEADER (the SO CALLED BOOS). Jai Hind
