Bigg Boss 16 is scheduled for the first of October, and Bollywood actor Salman Khan will be continuing his role as host of the show.
Yesterday, during the event that was taking place in Mumbai, Salman unveiled the first confirmed contender, who happened to be a singer and musician from Tajikistan named Abdu Rozik.
This year, in contrast to previous ones, the producers have chosen to conceal the identities of those competing in the competition. Television icons such as Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Sumbul Touqueer, actor Soundarya Sharma, Haryanvi dancer Gori Nagori, Tina Dutta, Sreejita De, Chandni Sharma, Gautam Vig, and Shalin Bhanot are anticipated to participate in the show in addition to Abdu.
In the beginning, Gauahar greeted Abdu, and then Salman introduced him by saying that he will be a part of his next film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. When asked about his favourite actors, Abdu mentioned Salman and Shah Rukh Khan as among his top choices. They must have seen Salman and Abdu together in Abu Dhabi, according to Salman, who added that fans must have seen them together.
Following Abdu’s performance of the well-known song Dil Deewana from the movie Maine Pyar Kiya, Salman commented, “It is wonderful, he does not understand Hindi but can sing Hindi songs.” They also talked about what goes on behind the scenes of Bigg Boss. Abdu was adamant that there would be drama, but Salman kept telling him that the story starts with romance and then transitions into the drama proper.
This famous programme always has a large number of well-known celebrities participating as contestants throughout the season. The competition is designed in such a way that only the hardest and most intelligent contenders can make it through to the end and ultimately emerge victorious. This season, well-known names from the entertainment sector, like Miss India winner Manya Singh and prominent TV actors Shivin Narang and Sumbul Touqeer, amongst others, are guaranteed to make a stir in the contentious house.
