Ever since the end of the reality show Bigg Boss 13, Television viewers have been craving for a great show. Just a few days back, there were reports that the makers of Salman Khan‘s show are set to return with a bang with a new season. Yes, that’s true! Bigg Boss 14 will hit our Television screens super soon. There have been many speculations about the names of contestants for the new season.
