Hosted by Bollywood actress and producer Shilpa Shetty, the second season began airing on 21 August 2008 on Colors TV.

The housemates, considered strangers to each other, spent 98 days locked up together under one roof under the 24×7 supervision of 32 cameras fitted around the Bigg Boss house.

[1] The show topped the rating charts in its last week due to a voluntary exit by a popular housemate, Rahul Mahajan.

Rahul Mahajan won the Aveo UVA car as he was selected as the Bada Dilwala (One with big heart) of the show.

The housemates were allowed to gamble on task outcomes and were rewarded with extra money to order more supplies if they won.
