Salman Khan is returning to his hosting duties as the seventeenth season of Bigg Boss will go on air from October 15, 2023, on Colors. The first promo of the show was released earlier this month. In the promo, Salman can be seen sporting three different looks as he gives a hint at the theme of Bigg Boss 17. He said the audience will get to see 3 avatars, that are 'Dil,' or the heart, 'Dimaag' or mind and ‘Dum,’ or strength. The promo ended with Salman saying, "Abhi ke liye itna hi, promo hua khatam."

In an unexpected twist, the participation of Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain in Bigg Boss 17 has turned into a mystery. Previously, there were strong speculations about this power couple joining the show. However, recent developments have left fans and viewers uncertain about whether they will indeed enter the Bigg Boss house.
