About Bigg Boss 18

Bigg Boss Season 18 will see Salman returning to the show as host. Colors TV shared the promo, with Salman’s voice revealing the show’s theme. “Bigg Boss dekhenge gharwaloon ka future. Ab hoga time ka taandav,” it says.

Sharing it on social media, the channel wrote, “Hogi entertainment ki poori wish jab Time Ka Taandav lekar aayega Bigg Boss mein ek naya twist. Are you ready for Season 18? Dekhiye Bigg Boss 18, jald hi, Colors aur @officialjiocinema par.”

Nia Sharm Steps Out Of The Show?

While there were reports that popular actor and host Nia Sharma will join the show as contestant, an exclusive report by Indian Express mentions that she is not part of it. The report further states that Nia is a part of Laughter Chefs, which has already been extended till January 2025. So it is unlikely that she would enter the Bigg Boss 18 house. 

 The confirmed names include actors Shoaib Ibrahim, Dheeraj Dhopar, Kedar Aashish, Niayti Fatnani, Shanthi Priya, Jannat Zubair and Mr Faisu, Deepika Arya, Thugesh, and Maxtern.
