This year’s Bigg Boss will be launched almost fifteen days earlier than previous seasons. Bigg Boss is a reality show based on the original Dutch Big Brother format developed by John de Mol. A number of contestants (known as “housemates”) live in a purpose-built house and are isolated from the rest of the world. Each week, housemates nominate two of their peers for eviction, and the housemate who receives the most nominations would face a public vote. Of these, one would eventually leave, having been “evicted” from the House. However, there were exceptions to this process as dictated by Bigg Boss. Housemates are overseen by a mysterious person known as 'Bigg Boss', whose only presence in the house is through his voice.

A Bigg Boss House is built for every season and is well-furnished with all kinds of modern amenities, but just one or two bedrooms and four toilet bath rooms. There is a garden, pool, activity area and gym in the House. There is also a Confession Room, where the housemates may be called in by Bigg Boss for any kind of conversation, and for the nomination process. The House has no TV connection, no phones, no Internet connection, clocks, pen or paper.

The show has been consistently winning awards, with its latest additions being ‘Best Reality show’ and ‘Best Art Director’ in the ITA last season.

Tune in to watch Bigg Boss saath 7, every day at 9 pm only on Colors.
