The names of the contestants of Bigg Boss 18 were announced last night during its grand premiere. Salman Khan, who’s reprising his role as the host, unveiled the theme of this season which is ‘time ka taandav’. Much like its previous seasons, this one too promises to be yet another chapter marked with high-voltage drama.
This year’s contestants include Alice Kaushik, Vivian DSena, Shilpa Shirodkar, Avinash Mishra, Karan Veer Mehra and Shehzada Dhami, among others. Chum Darang was also announced as a participant. The actor, who has appeared in films like Badhaai Do and Gangubai Kathiawadi, is the first person from north-east India to be a part of the reality show.

” However, it’s Sidharth’s game plan and strategy that she truly admires and would want to keep in mind during her stint in the show. She states, “I’ve seen Siddharth performing tasks. Unke upar go.
