What’s New in Bigg Boss 18?
Bigg Boss 18 is ready to introduce a completely new theme this year. According to a promo shared by Colors TV, the theme revolves around “time.” The house will be divided into three sections representing the past, present, and future. Salman Khan, in the promo, hinted at major changes, saying that this season will bring a fresh trend to the Bigg Boss house.
With each section representing different eras, the house design and tasks will reflect the unique time-based theme, adding an exciting twist for the contestants and viewers alike.
Brand New Set for the Show
Every season of Bigg Boss brings a new house design, and this year is no different. The set for Bigg Boss 18 is being designed by Omung Kumar, who revealed in an interview that it takes about 45 days to create the elaborate set. Last year’s theme, “Dil, Dimaag, aur Dum,” focused on emotions, strategy, and strength. This year’s time-based theme is expected to bring a futuristic yet nostalgic feel to the house, making it visually distinct from past seasons.
Contestants ka future hai jinke haath, dekhiye kal aur kaal unke saath.

Fewer Social Media Influencers, More TV Stars
One of the major differences this season is the shift in focus from social media influencers to TV celebrities. Last season saw many influencers like Arun Mahashetty and Tehelka Bhai. However, Bigg Boss 18 will mainly feature TV actors, giving the show a more traditional celebrity lineup.
Krishna Abhishek and Abdu Rojik Return for Fun Segments
In addition to the weekly drama inside the house, fans can look forward to lighthearted moments on Weekend Ka Vaar with Salman Khan. Comedians Krishna Abhishek and Abdu Rojik are set to return for special fun segments during the episodes. While Salman takes a break between his shooting schedule, Krishna and Abdu will entertain the audience with their comedy, adding a playful side to the intense reality show.
