Showik Chakraborty, brother of actor Rhea Chakraborty, is another reported name. He became widely known following the investigations surrounding the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and a 2020 drugs-related case.
Amrapali Dubey
One of the biggest names from the Bhojpuri industry, Amrapali Dubey could bring a massive regional fan base into the Bigg Boss house. She is known for films such as Nirahua Hindustani, Patna Se Pakistan and Nirahua Chalal London.
Kushal Tanwar aka Gullu
Reality-TV personality and digital creator Kushal Tanwar, popularly known as Gullu, is also reportedly in the mix. His social-media presence and reality-show background could make him an interesting addition.
Qazi Touqeer
Singer and reality-TV personality Qazi Touqeer is another familiar face being linked with the season. He rose to fame after winning Fame Gurukul in 2005 alongside Ruprekha Banerjee.
Arishfa Khan
Arishfa Khan started working as a child actor and has appeared in shows including Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera, Jeannie Aur Juju and Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. With her huge social-media following, she could bring a younger audience to the show.

Aryan Kelvin
Digital creator Aryan Kelvin is another relatively new name doing the rounds. His online popularity could bring a different kind of internet personality into the Bigg Boss mix.
Mary Kom
Now this would definitely be an unexpected entry. Boxing legend Mary Kom, a six-time World Champion and Olympic bronze medallist, has reportedly been linked with the show. If she enters, her sporting background could bring a completely different energy to the house.

Kanika Mann
TV actor Kanika Mann is also among the names doing the rounds. However, reports around her participation have been mixed, so her entry should still be treated as unconfirmed.
Yung DSA aka Yeda Yung
Rapper and digital personality Yung DSA, also known as Yeda Yung, has reportedly been approached for the show. His music and internet presence could add a fresh flavour to the contestant mix.
Rohed Khan
Model Rohed Khan is another name reportedly connected to Bigg Boss 20. While not much is officially known about his participation, his name has appeared in the latest contestant discussions.
Rhiti Tiwari
TV personality Rhiti Tiwari has also been mentioned in reports about the upcoming season. For now, she remains part of the rumoured line-up rather than an officially announced contestant.
Rhiya Ahir And Love Gill
There is also an interesting twist involving Rhiya Ahir and Love Gill. Reports suggest that the two are competing for one spot in the Bigg Boss 20 house through a public-voting process, with the final result expected around the premiere.
Names Still In Discussion
The rumour list doesn’t end here. TV favourites Niti Taylor, Parth Samthaan, Karan Wahi, Pranali Rathod and Mahhi Vij have also been linked with the show and are reportedly in discussions.
For now, fans will have to wait for the official announcement before knowing exactly who will walk through those famous Bigg Boss doors.
