Rhiya Ahir’s Bigg Boss 20 Entry Rumours Grow After Her Student Protest Videos Went Viral

Rhiya Ahir, who gained widespread attention during student protests, could soon enter the Bigg Boss 20 house. With the reality show's new season scheduled to premiere on September 6, viewers have been given an opportunity to decide whether Ahir or Love Gill will become a contestant. The upcoming season has already generated considerable anticipation among fans, with speculation surrounding the celebrities and public figures who could enter the reality show. This time, however, the makers have introduced an interactive element by allowing viewers to choose one contestant before the season begins.

Ahir became widely known after videos from student protests circulated on social media. She attracted attention for an incident in which she was seen intervening during a protest-related confrontation involving a police vehicle. The episode subsequently became a talking point online and helped increase her public visibility. According to the announcement, viewers can vote for their preferred contestant between Ahir and Love Gill. The candidate receiving the highest number of votes will secure a place in the Bigg Boss 20 house.

This means that one of the two contestants is guaranteed to join the upcoming season through the public voting process. Ahir has previously responded to criticism surrounding the protest incident and rejected claims that the episode was scripted. Her emergence as a potential Bigg Boss contestant marks a shift from her earlier social media visibility to mainstream reality television. The voting opportunity also gives viewers a direct role in determining part of the show's cast.

Rather than simply watching contestants enter the house, fans will be able to influence the final selection between the two candidates before the season gets underway. Bigg Boss has traditionally relied on a mix of television personalities, actors, influencers and other public figures to create its contestant lineup. Bringing in someone who became prominent through student protests could add a different dimension to the upcoming season and potentially generate interest beyond the show's established entertainment audience.

The identity of the successful candidate will depend on the voting outcome. Until the voting process concludes, both Ahir and Gill remain in contention for the coveted place in the house. The new season is expected to continue the show's familiar format of contestants living together under constant observation while competing in tasks and navigating interpersonal conflicts. The inclusion of a viewer-selected contestant adds an additional layer of audience participation before the competition officially begins.

For Ahir, a place in the Bigg Boss house could provide an opportunity to expand her public profile following the attention she received during the student protests. For Gill, the voting process offers a similar route into one of India's most closely followed reality television programmes. With the premiere scheduled for September 6, the contest between Ahir and Gill is now in the hands of viewers. The candidate who wins the public vote will become part of Bigg Boss 20, making the pre-season voting itself an important part of the show's launch.
