Qazi Touqeer, Mary Kom among rumoured Bigg Boss 20 contestants
Singer Qazi Touqeer and boxing legend Mary Kom are among the names reportedly confirmed for the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 20, according to content creator Jeevika Singh. The show, hosted by Salman Khan, is set to premiere on September 6, though the official contestant list has not been released yet.
Qazi Touqeer rose to fame after winning the singing reality show Fame Gurukul in 2005 alongside Ruprekha Banerjee, and is known for hits like Yeh Pal. Mary Kom, a six-time world amateur boxing champion and India's first woman boxer to win an Olympic medal (bronze at the 2012 London Olympics), could bring a sports icon's presence to the house.
Other rumoured contestants include actors Khushi Dubey, Vikrant Singh Rajpoot, Geeta Basra, Rajat Bedi, Elnaaz Norouzi, Niti Taylor, Aryan Kelvin, Jennifer Winget, Kushal Tanwar, and comedian Ashish Chanchlani. The final lineup is expected to be revealed at the grand premiere.

The show airs on Colors TV and streams on JioCinema, with the premiere set for September 6. The final confirmed list will determine whether the season maintains its TRP momentum, which has seen fluctuations in recent years.
