Like every year, the house of Bigg Boss 20 looks every bit grand. One of the standout features of the Bigg Boss 20 house is a giant teapot that has been cleverly designed as a couch. The quirky decor also includes a massive octopus holding chess pieces in its tentacles, bringing together the unpredictability of the ocean and the strategic nature of chess.

The unusual theme continues with a hot-air balloon turned into a cosy seating space. A tap with flowers growing out of it adds another surreal element, while the garden area features a giant fake snake wrapped around a tree, making the house even more striking.

But what exactly does this “Vardaan” mean? Could it give contestants a special advantage, offer them an extra chance in the competition or completely change the way they play the game? The makers have deliberately kept the answer a mystery, leaving fans to decode the clues. As more promos roll out, curiosity around the new twist continues to build ahead of the season.

The Bigg Boss Hindi Season 20 premieres on Sunday, September 6. The show will stream exclusively on JioHotstar at 9 pm and air on Colors at 10.30 pm.
