# Lalit Modi denies Bigg Boss 20 entry, issues legal notice 2026-08-15T04:05:33+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Lalit Modi has denied reports that he will contest Bigg Boss 20 and issued a legal notice to publications and social media accounts carrying the claim. In a post on X, the IPL founder said he had not been approached for the Salman Khan-hosted reality show and had no intention of participating. His lawyers, Hirani & Associates, called the reports false and unauthorised, and sought their withdrawal. The notice also objected to the use of Modi’s name, image and other personal attributes to imply an association with the programme. Bigg Boss 20 is scheduled to premiere on September 6 on JioHotstar and Colors. Its first trailer has introduced an additional ‘jeevan daan’, or lifeline, for contestants. The official contestant list has not been announced. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - bollywoodhungama.com Tags: Bigg Boss, Colors, JioHotstar, Lalit Modi, Salman Khan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/lalit-modi-denies-bigg-boss-20-reports-sends-legal-notice/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
