Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone will be joining superstar Salman Khan to launch the 10th season of popular reality TV show 'Bigg Boss'. The actress will be promoting her Hollywood debut with 'xXx: The Return of Xander Cage' on the show.

There were rumours that Deepika Padukone will be the first celebrity guest of the show when she was spotted shooting with Salman Khan recently.

Raj Nayak, CEO of Colors channel, confirmed the news by tweeting a 'Bigg Boss 10' special promo starring Deepika Padukone.

Raj Nayak tweeted: "The excitement begins. Look who is coming to Bigg Boss for the launch. 16th October 9 PM - Book your seats Now! xxxMovie Deepika Padukone."

In the video, Deepika Padukone is seen telling the audience to brace themselves for a thrilling ride with the upcoming season of the show.

Deepika Padukone says, "In this tussle between the people of India and celebrities, I will be getting the thrill and action of Hollywood."

The reality show, an Indian version of international series "Celebrity Big Brother", features celebrities locked inside a house for three months under constant camera surveillance, without any gadgets or luxury.

This time the spotlight is on the common man. For the first time, the controversial reality show will open its doors to the common people to appear as contestants along with the stars.

After months of auditions and scrutiny, 13 names have been shortlisted, of which eight will be entering the house. The format details for the new season are yet to be revealed.
