The twentieth season of the show 'Bigg Boss' continues to generate significant buzz since its launch. Discussion revolves around both the participants' reactions to paparazzi comments and moments when the host's physical condition was displayed on air during the 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode due to body shaming and online trolling topics. A viral giveaway involving contestant Kajee Taukir also drew considerable attention online.

According to JioHotstar data, this figure was achieved in a period of no more than 60 days, making this season the fastest in the franchise's history to reach such a result. This achievement comes as India celebrates the 20th anniversary of the show's debut.

Furthermore, according to JioStar, the show received over 350 million votes this season, representing a 71% increase compared to the previous season. The number of fans who participated in voting also increased by 48%. The program's popularity has spread beyond India. Since the show's debut, it has been among the top 5 programs on JioHotstar in the UK, Canada, and Singapore. In the Middle East, in the UAE, it ranks first among shows on the Starzplay streaming platform and has remained in the platform's top 10 since its launch.

Commenting on this achievement, the show's host Salman Khan stated: 'The real game of 'Bigg Boss' happens not only inside the house but also outside, where viewers stay connected to every moment. Reaching 100 million viewing hours on JioHotstar is proof of the immense love and attachment our viewers have for this show.'

Asif Khan leaves Big Boss 20 after conflicts; Young Scout and Young are upset

In the 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode of the reality show 'Bigg Boss 20', Asif Khan was announced to be evicted from the house. This actor, known for the series 'Panchayat', was considered one of the main contenders for winning the show. However, his aggressive behavior and tendency to consider himself superior to others led to his departure.

During his eight-week stay in 'Bigg Boss 20', Asif Khan experienced many ups and downs. He often spoke about his acting abilities. Recently, he became angry at a comment by Amrapali Dubey. During a casual conversation, Amrapali jokingly asked Asif what type of actor he was. In response, Asif stated that people outside the house would recognize what a big star he is. He also mentioned that many famous personalities attended his wedding, and he danced there.

Commenting on Asif's remarks, Amrapali suggested that some people start considering themselves stars simply because they have become part of memes. Asif's aggressive behavior also sparked discussion in the show with Salman Khan. At the beginning of the season, when Udit Singh accused him of inappropriate touching during an emotional moment, Asif reacted strongly. His assertive attitude was evident during many tasks.

Recently, a heated discussion occurred between him and Kajee Taukir. During this argument, Asif threatened to hit Kajee on the head. The conflict began when Kajee commented on a 'heart attack' during a nomination task, which angered Asif, causing him to rush towards him. Despite these disagreements, funny skits and news report segments from Asif brought moments of entertainment to the 'Bigg Boss' show. After his exit from 'Bigg Boss 20', the atmosphere became very emotional: Scout and Young shed tears, and Asif Khan himself cried while leaving the house.

Asif Khan started his career as a junior artist and appeared in films such as 'Ready' and 'Agneepath'. Later, he debuted in acting in small roles in the film 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha'. In the OTT sphere, Asif acted in many popular series, including 'Jamtaara', 'Paatal Lok', 'Panchayat', and 'Human'. His work in 'Panchayat' received high praise.

Rohit Shetty promised Kaji Taukir a romantic track in an upcoming film after appearing on 'Bigg Boss'

Since his appearance in the project 'Bigg Boss 20', singer Kaji Taukir has become an internet sensation, attracting viewers' attention with his unique style. His appearance caused a wide resonance on social media.

Moreover, fans who supported Kaji 21 years ago during his participation in 'Fem Gurukul' express special joy about his current success. For them, this is not just a career revival, but an entry into the media space after almost two decades.

Filmmaker Rohit Shetty, who participated in the broadcast last weekend, highly praised Kaji's impressive comeback. In a recent episode, he promised to provide Kaji with a romantic song as part of his upcoming movie.

Commenting on Kaji's achievements, Rohit Shetty stated: 'Your time has come, Kaji. When you leave this place, there will be a lot of work for you... a lot of love. You will start getting solo albums... your time has come. I am saying this on national television, I am not ashamed. You entertain very well, just take care of yourself a little.'

When Kaji asked about the possibility of collaborating with Rohit, the film director promised to give him a song in one of his future projects.

During the show's filming, Rohit Shetty assured Kaji: 'I am saying this on national television... 'Golmaal' is a comedy film, but if a picture with a romantic composition appears, I will give it to you. You will perform it as a backing vocalist.'

Rohit's words brought tears to Kaji's eyes. It is worth noting that Rohit Shetty hosted the 'Weekend Victories' program this weekend because actor Salman Khan was occupied with other scheduled commitments. This is not the first time Rohit Shetty has substituted Salman Khan on 'Bigg Boss'; he previously hosted episodes of 'Weekend Victories' in previous seasons. Furthermore, last year, during 'Bigg Boss 19', he also appeared on the show, where he interacted with participants Gaurav Khanna and Farhan Bhatt.
