Nitish Rajput reportedly joins Bigg Boss 20

YouTuber and digital creator Nitish Rajput is reportedly in final talks to join the upcoming 20th season of the reality television show Bigg Boss, marking a potential shift from his research-driven online content to the unscripted drama of the house. The show, hosted by Bollywood actor Salman Khan, is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, September 6, on Colors TV and the digital platform JioHotstar. Rajput, who has built a massive following of over 8 million subscribers on YouTube, is known for his long-form videos on politics, history, governance, and social issues. His reported participation has generated significant online buzz, with his name trending as viewers search for information about the creator. If confirmed, the appearance would be his television debut. The potential move comes after a period of legal and international controversy for Rajput. In February 2026, Eduquity Technologies, the company that conducts Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examinations, filed a Rs 2.5 crore defamation lawsuit against him.
