Bigg Boss 13: 'Hot' and 'Single' Devoleena Bhattacharjee and 'India's Most Eligible Single' Siddharth Shukla Are The First Two Confirmed Names! (View Promo Videos)
Bigg Boss 13 will see a lot of changes from its previous few seasons. The show will return to its original format of having only celebrity contestants and no commoners will be shot at Goregaon's Filmcity and not Lonavala and will premiere on September 29, 2019 in the 9 pm slot.
Bigg Boss 13 will be a special season for many fans of the reality show, for it will mark Salman Khan's decade long association as a host. And in the many instances where Salman has proclaimed that he will not host the show anymore (mostly because he is super pissed with the contestants for their week-long antics), it has never happened and Bhaijaan continues to be the jaan of Bigg Boss. After many teases and a really long wait, Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 13 will premiere on September 29, 2019. However, the on-air time for this season will be 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm from Monday to Friday, with the Weekend Ka Vaar being aired at 9 pm.

This time around, the show will see a lot of changes from its previous few seasons. For starters, the show will return to its original format of having only celebrity contestants and no commoners, after the debacle that the previous few seasons have been. Also, the shoot location this time around will be Goregaon's Filmcity and not Lonavala.
So far, tentative names of actors Siddharth Shukla, Mahika Sharma, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Meghna Malik, Dayanand Shetty, Pavitra Punia, Vijendra Singh, Rashami Sharma and Aarti Singh had come up as potential candidates on the show.
However, we have two confirmed names and their promos were released, without showcasing their faces. And they are Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Siddharth Shukla.
Take a Look At Devoleena's Promo Below:
Devoleena's promo was made extra special with Bigg Boss Season 11's mastermind Vikas Gupta and one of Season 7's strongest contestants Kamya Punjabi introducing her and vouching for her.
And Here is Siddharth Shukla's Promo:
Siddharth's promo says that he is India's most eligible famous, hot, and naughty single, who will be out grabbing a lot of eyeballs on the show.
Apart from the above-mentioned changes in the show, it is also being speculated that Salman might be joined by a female co-host. A Bollywoodlife report was quoted as saying, "Salman felt that to add freshness to this year's season, the makers should get a female co-host. Apparently, Salman might take a backseat and give his female co-host more exposure so that she can bring newness to the show. Nothing is concrete as of now, these are mere ongoing conversations." Well, how much of these contestant names and rumours are true, is something we'll find out only when the show will go on-air.
