The Indian adaptation of the popular reality format returns for its milestone 20th season, hosted once again by Salman Khan. Over the past two decades, the Hindi edition has served as a launchpad and career revival platform for numerous figures in entertainment, retaining its spot as one of Indian television’s most enduring franchises. New Creative Direction and Twists Redesigned Set: Departing from the previous 19 seasons overseen by Omung Kumar, this edition features an entirely new house design led by art director Varsha Jain.
