The achievement is particularly significant for the franchise, considering that Bigg Boss 20 reached the reported figure within two months of its premiere. The makers have described it as a first for the reality show’s twenty-year history.
Bigg Boss 20 Continues To Make Headlines Over Contestant Controversies
While the makers are celebrating the viewership milestone, the ongoing season has witnessed its share of disagreements and controversies.
The contestant selection attracted criticism during the opening week, with Salman himself acknowledging that the makers could sometimes make mistakes while choosing participants.
The host also recently addressed concerns about his health after a promotional video appeared to show him experiencing chest pain. Salman subsequently clarified that the moment had been staged to convey a point to contestant Qazi Touqeer.
In another episode, Salman questioned ScoutOP over his relationship with Love Gill, particularly his failure to defend her when his girlfriend Kaashvi raised objections about their closeness.
Diwali Task Brings More Drama To Bigg Boss 20
The ongoing Diwali family-message task has also generated considerable discussion among viewers.
Mahhi Vij’s decision to select two lifelines instead of allowing Arishfa Khan to receive a message from her family triggered tensions inside the house. A subsequent confrontation involving Love Gill’s mother added to the disagreements.
Meanwhile, Aasif Khan’s eviction proved emotional for several contestants, particularly ScoutOP and YUNG DSA, who struggled to hold back their feelings following his departure.
Amid these developments, Bigg Boss 20 continues its run on Colors TV and JioHotstar, with the makers celebrating the season’s latest viewership achievement.
