Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 20 gets 6.4 million views, trails Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent

Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 20 premiered on Sunday, drawing a sizable audience of 6.4 million viewers for its grand debut. However, this season's lineup has faced criticism, with many expressing disappointment that the competition isn't as strong as in previous seasons. The contestants' personalities have been labeled as fake and forced, contributing to the show's lackluster reception.

Despite the initial buzz surrounding the premiere, the show's performance has taken a hit, as it fails to surpass India's Got Latent in viewership. Ormax Media's recent data reveals that Samay Raina's India's Got Latent Season 2 has garnered the highest viewership, amassing 7.8 million. Bigg Boss 20 follows closely behind with 6.4 million viewers, while Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 and Kaun Banega Crorepati also secured spots in the top five, with 5.5 million and 5.1 million viewers, respectively.

Amitabh Bachchan-hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati claimed the fourth position with 5.1 million viewers, while Karan Johar-hosted The Traitors Season 2 rounded out the top ten with 4.5 million. It's worth noting that the traditional Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah continues to maintain a loyal audience, clocking in 4.2 million viewers this week.

Additionally, Dhawal Thakur and Sanchita Basu's romantic drama Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar Season 2 and Dhamaal 4 also performed well, garnering 3.4 million and 3.4 million viewers, respectively.

As the festival period approaches, the upcoming weeks will determine whether Bigg Boss 20 can turn its fortunes around and maintain its position in the ratings.
