Salman Khan has introduced a new twist called Extra Jeevandaan for the upcoming season of Bigg Boss, JioHotstar's new promo revealed on August 28. Evicted contestants will not leave the house immediately but will get a fixed period inside the house for a second chance.

The host calls this lifeline the 'Vardaan of Extra Jeevandaan', adding a new layer to nominations and eliminations. The promo caption says the twist brings double the chances and triple the drama.
Several names such as Rhiya Ahir, Elnaaz Norouzi, Amrapali Dubey and Isha Rikhi are being speculated as contestants, but the official lineup will be revealed closer to the premiere.
Bigg Boss has been a fixture on Indian television since 2006, with 19 seasons across multiple channels. The Extra Jeevandaan twist borrows from the format's tradition of mid-season re-entries, but this time the evicted contestant stays in the house rather than leaving and returning later. The change directly impacts how alliances and voting strategies work inside the house. For the network, the twist aims to keep viewer engagement high during the nomination cycle, a period that typically sees ratings dips. The premiere date and full contestant list will determine whether this format change sustains interest through the season.
