Bigg Boss House, Amenities, Rules, and More

The Bigg Boss house is fully equipped with modern facilities like huge living spaces, a kitchen, common sleeping areas for men and women separately, bathrooms, a pool, a garden, a gym, etc. The house looks lavish just like any Bollywood star could have. The housemates are responsible for all the chores and the division of daily tasks forms the basis of controversies many times. In the process, several competitive tasks also take place with winners of it. And the house members themselves can nominate each other for elimination.

However, they cannot disclose the nomination and its process to each other. The inmates can speak to each other only in Hindi. Also, they are not allowed to engage in physical violence. Until the lights go off, they cannot go to sleep. The members cannot tamper with any devices or electronic devices in the house and cannot leave the premises until allowed to the same. Anyone who has broken these rules has surely made it into the Bollywood news bulletin for the issue.


Bigg Boss Hosts, Seasons, and Episodes

The Bigg Boss is never visible to the eyes of anyone but speaks to the housemates through a powerful voice, which is also a mesmerizing aspect of the show. But the most awaited sections of the show are Shukravar Ka Vaar, Shanivar Ka Vaar, Weekend Ka Vaar, and Somvaar Ka Vaar. The show attracts attention because the host, who is currently Salman Khan, directly interacts with the contestants through television monitors to address the tasks, or on weekends, discuss the rights and wrongs going on inside, and correct the culprits.

The interactions are often the live Bollywood news for the day. The members get to rant about their experiences and feelings. Salman Khan has hosted Bigg Boss for several years now.

All About Bigg Boss Season Prize Money

There is a prize amount involved but it is not the ‘winner takes it all’ because in the finale sometimes Bigg Boss may offer anyone to take the chance and leave the house by claiming a portion of the prize money. But they will not be the winner of the show even if after that, the person has the maximum number of votes from the audience. According to Bollywood news, the prize money may also reduce anytime during the show as Bigg Boss may do so as punishment to the members or as a part of the task failure, or other reasons.

As the Bollywood news goes, the season 1 to 5 prize money was Rs. 1 crore individually. Seasons 6 to 10 each had monetary winning of Rs. 50 lakhs. Seasons 11 to 16 had prize money of Rs. 44 lakhs, Rs 30 lakhs, and Rs. 50 lakhs, Rs. 36 lakhs, Rs, 40 lakhs, Rs. 31.8 lakhs. Bigg Boss OTT season 1 winner was Divya Agarwal and runner-up Nishant Bhat, the prize amount was Rs. 25 lakhs.


Bigg Boss Inmates, Selection, Eviction, and Others

The selection of the members who will attend the Bigg Boss show for a season depends on the casting itself. Though people may approach the organizers for an entry, the decision rests on the authority itself as to who will feature in their reality show. Commoners, Bollywood stars, singers, models, celebrities, and others have been part of the reality show. The nomination for eviction occurs every week, and with people leaving the house, the number of members keeps on decreasing, until the final 3-5 members are left for a vote to the winning circle.

The elimination depends on votes from the public, and the vote results are mostly announced on a weekend. But there have been times when mid-week and double eliminations have taken place instead of just one person leaving the house and that stays on top of the Bollywood news. Sometimes a member can get eliminated by Bigg Boss for breaking rules or bad behavior, or another serious reason. The evicted members usually do not re-enter the show again, until it is a wild card entry.

As the days tick down to the premiere of Bigg Boss 17, the excitement is building. A brief snippet of the Bigg Boss house has leaked, and fans are eagerly awaiting a full reveal. From the video, it's clear that the house features a vibrant and colorful theme. It also provides a glimpse of the spacious living arrangements awaiting this year's contestants. Insiders with close ties to the show have divulged intriguing insights into the Bigg Boss 17 house. In a concept reminiscent of Bigg Boss 7, the upcoming season is poised to introduce a divided-house theme, dividing it into both luxury and non-luxury sections.

The new twist will result in a house split into two distinct areas: a lavish zone with comfortable amenities, including beds for contestants, and a non-luxurious zone devoid of such comforts, such as beds and other opulent items, according to sources.
