Bigg Boss is a reality TV show inspired by the original Dutch Big Brother format created by John de Mol Jr..

In this competition, a group of contestants, referred to as "housemates", live together in a specially designed house, cut off from the outside world.

Additionally, Bigg Boss has the authority to modify the eviction process as needed, sometimes introducing exceptions or twists.

While most participants are celebrities in Indian version, seasons 10, 11 and 12 saw an influx of commoners as housemates, bringing a new dynamic to the show.

The housemates' actions and interactions are monitored by the voice of Bigg Boss, a mysterious figure who represents the show's authority and enforces rules.

Sunday’s episodes include a fun segment with guest appearances and the eviction of the housemates nominated that week.

Episodes were also aired 30 minutes earlier on Voot Select and JioCinema Premium until Season 17.

The OTT series has rolled out its third season in 2024, hosted by Anil Kapoor and broadcast by JioCinema for the 24x7 live feed.
