Why does this story matter?
The Salman Khan-hosted show has run into controversies more often for its controversial content. But that has not impacted the show's popularity, as it's still on the top of the TRP charts and dominates social media with its viral content. And now, it's time for the religious fans of the show to rejoice as we are only days away from the premiere.
Confirmed list of contestants
On Tuesday, the creators introduced Sumbul Touqeer, who played the title role in the show, Imlie as one of the 16th season's contestants. Gautam Vij and Chandni Sharma were also introduced as the confirmed contestants. To note, the teasers shared by the makers do not reveal the contestants' identities. But it's rather easy to identify their names with the cues provided in the teasers.
