Bigg Boss 18 has been making headlines ever since its announcement. The makers recently dropped the first teaser for the upcoming season, confirming that Salman Khan will return as host. Earlier this month, Salman was spotted shooting for the promo, which excited fans.

The teaser also revealed the theme for this season—Time Ka Taandav. It opens with Salman Khan stating, “Bigg Boss dekhenge gharwaloon ka future. Ab hoga time ka taandav (Bigg Boss will see the future of the housemates. Now, time will play a crucial role for contestants).”
