Host Salman Khan formally launched the show a few days ago through a grand event in Goa. While some of the contestants' names have already been announced, the full list will be announced on the premiere night.
The first episode of Bigg Boss 12 will be marked by some power-packed performances by Salman, and a few other celebrities. Also, a lot of drama is expected to unfold during the episode.
For the first time ever in the history of the show, two contestants will be eliminated on the first episode itself. The elimination will be done on the basis of a public poll. The night will also witness the presence of Shilpa Shinde and Manveer Gurjar, winners of the previous two seasons respectively.
