With just hours left for the launch, Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6 has slipped into full buzz mode. The makers are staying tight-lipped, but that hasn’t stopped fans from guessing who might walk into the house
when the curtains go up tonight. The sixth season premieres on Sunday, January 11, and interest is high, especially with Riteish Deshmukh returning as host for the second year in a row. As always, the final contestant list will only be revealed during the opening episode, but social media already has its favourites. Raqesh Bapat leads the speculation One of the most talked-about names this season is Raqesh Bapat. The actor is known for films like Tum Bin, Vrundavan and Savita Damodar Paranjape (2018), and TV shows such as Saat Phere – Saloni Ka Safar, Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak and Qubool Hai (2014). Raqesh is also familiar with the Bigg Boss format. He earlier appeared on Bigg Boss OTT Hindi Season 1 and finished as the third runner-up. He was previously married to actor Riddhi Dogra, who was recently seen in films like Jawan and Tiger 3. Actors and TV faces likely to enter Actor-producer Deepali Bhosale Sayed, known for films like Mhanje Waghache Panje and Bola Alakh Niranjan, is another name being discussed widely. Television actor Aayush Sanjeev, who starred in 36 Guni Jodi, is also rumoured to be part of the lineup. Adding to the mix is Vishal Kotian, who earlier appeared on Bigg Boss 15. Actor-model Sonali Raut, a former contestant from Bigg Boss Season 8, is another familiar face expected to return to the reality show space. Influencers and public figures in the mix Apart from actors, several digital creators and public personalities are also being linked to the show. These include content creators Karan Sonawane, Ashok Patil and Radha Mumbaikar. Rapper Sambata, advocate Gunratna Sadavarte, and YouTuber Hindustani Bhau are also among the names doing the rounds online. However, there is no official confirmation yet on any of these entries. When and where to watch The grand premiere of Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6 will air at 8 pm on Colors Marathi and will also stream on Jio Hotstar. Last season crowned Suraj Chavhan as the winner, with Abhijeet Sawant finishing as the runner-up. It also marked Riteish Deshmukh taking over hosting duties from Mahesh Manjrekar.
