The buzz around the Bigg Boss 20 contestant lineup is growing as Salman Khan’s return to the reality show draws closer. Several names from television, Bollywood and the wider entertainment industry have been linked to the upcoming season, and a new report has added Rajat Bedi and Niti Taylor to the conversation.
According to a report by SCREEN, Rajat Bedi has reportedly been confirmed as a contestant, while Niti Taylor is said to be in the final stage of discussions with the show’s makers. However, neither actor’s participation has been officially confirmed yet.
Rajat Bedi reportedly confirmed for Bigg Boss 20
Rajat Bedi is reportedly among the contestants being lined up for Bigg Boss 20.
According to the cited report, the actor has reached the final stages of discussions with the production team, with negotiations over his fee reportedly still being worked out.
Bedi, who has appeared in Hindi films and television projects, recently returned to the spotlight with The Ba*ds of Bollywood**.
If his participation is eventually confirmed by the show, Bigg Boss 20 would mark another prominent reality-television appearance for the actor.
For now, however, details surrounding his reported agreement remain unconfirmed publicly.
Niti Taylor reportedly in final-stage talks
Niti Taylor is another name that has reportedly moved closer to entering the Bigg Boss house.
The actor, known for her work in Hindi television, has reportedly received an offer from the show’s makers and is said to be in the final stage of negotiations.
Taylor was recently associated with Alliance, adding to her recent television visibility.
While the reported talks indicate that she could be a potential housemate, an official announcement is still awaited.
Other names linked to Bigg Boss 20
Rajat Bedi and Niti Taylor join a growing list of celebrities whose names have surfaced in connection with the new season.
According to various reports, Geeta Basra and Showik Chakraborty have also been described as names that have been finalised, although official confirmation remains important before treating any reported casting information as definitive.
Earlier reports have also linked personalities such as Mahhi Vij, Sunil Pal and Jannat Zubair with the programme.
The reported list has continued to change as negotiations progress, and not every celebrity mentioned in pre-premiere reports necessarily becomes part of the final cast.
What do Bigg Boss contestant contracts reportedly include?
As speculation about the lineup continues, reports have also provided details about the agreements celebrities may sign before entering the Bigg Boss house.
Contestants are reportedly required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before their participation, restricting them from publicly revealing confidential information about the show.
A broader participation contract reportedly covers areas including:
- Fees and payment terms
- House rules
- Contestant responsibilities
- Confidentiality obligations
- Eviction-related conditions
- Other terms governing participation
Some contestants may also have a minimum guarantee, according to reports. Such an arrangement could provide protection against eviction for an agreed period, depending on the individual contract.
However, a minimum guarantee would not mean that a contestant is assured of winning the season.
The winner is ultimately determined through the show’s format, voting and game process, subject to the programme’s rules and applicable agreements.
Bigg Boss 20’s ‘two lives’ twist
Bigg Boss 20 is scheduled to premiere on September 6 on JioHotstar, with Salman Khan returning as host.
Promotional material for the milestone season has already introduced a major twist involving what the show describes as a special “vardaan”.
According to the reported concept, contestants will have two lives, potentially giving evicted housemates another opportunity to remain involved in the competition.
Reports suggest that contestants eliminated from the main house could potentially move to another house and compete for a chance to return.
The exact mechanics of the twist, including any conditions attached to receiving a second opportunity, will become clearer once the season begins.
The format could make eviction more unpredictable, as leaving the main house may not necessarily mean the end of a contestant’s journey.

Will Rajat Bedi and Niti Taylor enter Bigg Boss 20?
For now, Rajat Bedi’s reported confirmation and Niti Taylor’s reported final-stage negotiations should be treated as reported developments rather than officially confirmed casting.
The show’s final contestant lineup will ultimately be established through announcements from the Bigg Boss 20 team, broadcaster or the respective celebrities.
With the September 6 premiere approaching, more details about the housemates and the season’s unusual two-life format are expected to emerge.
