Rhiya Ahir, who went viral during a student protest in Mumbai in July 2026, and Punjabi actress Love Gill are competing for a spot in the Bigg Boss 20 house. The winner will be decided by a public vote on the JioHotstar app, with voting open until September 2, 2026. The show premieres on September 6 on Colors TV and JioHotstar.
Salman Khan announced the two contenders in a promo. This is the second time the show is using the Fans Ka Faisla format: during Bigg Boss 19, YouTuber Mridul Tiwari won a similar vote and entered the house. Deccan Herald reports Rhiya was praised for standing her ground during the Gen Z protest. Times Now and ABP Live detail the voting process.

The key development to watch is the vote result on September 2, which will decide whether a protest figure or a Punjabi actress enters the house.
