Bollywood star Salman Khan is back as the host of Season 20 of the popular reality television show Bigg Boss, having begun shooting for the upcoming season on Friday ahead of its scheduled premiere this Sunday. As has become customary before the launch of a new season, the actor posed for paparazzi photographers outside the set, dressed in a cowboy-inspired look for the occasion, drawing the usual crowd of photographers eager to capture the first glimpse of him ahead of the show's return.
During the interaction, however, Khan appeared to momentarily lose his patience with someone off camera who had apparently asked him to pose further for pictures. Responding firmly, the actor was heard telling the individual, "Ye mera kaam nahi hai," meaning "This is not my job," making clear that posing for photographs was not something he considered part of his professional obligations, nor did he feel any particular need to oblige beyond a certain point. Despite the brief moment of irritation, Khan nonetheless continued to indulge the photographers who had gathered at the venue, ultimately posing for the images before proceeding to begin filming for the new season.
The moment, captured on camera and quickly circulated among entertainment portals and social media users, is not entirely out of character for Khan, who has on previous occasions expressed visible discomfort or annoyance with the intensity of paparazzi attention that frequently surrounds Bollywood's biggest stars, particularly during high-profile public appearances. The actor has, at various points in the past, been seen asking photographers to maintain distance or show restraint, especially in situations involving family members, even as he has largely maintained a cooperative relationship with the media throughout his decades-long career.

Bigg Boss, the Indian adaptation of the international reality format Celebrity Big Brother, has been one of Colors TV's flagship shows for years, and Khan's association with it as host stretches back well over a decade, having presented multiple consecutive seasons since taking over hosting duties. His return for Season 20 continues that long-running partnership, with the actor remaining one of the show's biggest draws and a central reason for its sustained popularity among Indian television audiences.
Ahead of the new season's premiere, promotional activity has intensified, with the show's production team unveiling teasers and building anticipation among viewers for the format and theme of this year's edition. As with previous seasons, the show is expected to feature a mix of television personalities, film actors, and social media figures competing inside a specially constructed house under round-the-clock surveillance, with contestants voted out progressively over the course of the season.
While the specific theme and contestant lineup for Season 20 have not been fully detailed in the available reports, Khan's presence as host remains a central pillar of the show's continued success, and his interactions with the media, including moments of candid irritation such as the one captured on the set, have themselves become a recurring point of interest for fans following the buildup to each new season. With filming now officially underway, viewers can expect the show to premiere as scheduled this Sunday, continuing what has become one of the longest-running and most closely watched reality television franchises in India.
