Bigg Boss Reality TV Show

Bigg Boss Reality TV Show

COLORS launches Vodafone Presents Bigg Boss 5, the fifth season of the flagship reality show where 14 celebrity contestants spend 100 days isolated from the world, with 55 cameras following their every move

The show is going to be bigger, bolder and louder than ever before. This season is not about the survival of the fittest but the loudest and boldest. The fight will be to outdo the other, play the game ahead more boldly – stand out or you go unnoticed

The Bigg Boss House has moved back to Karjat this season after being in Lonavala for the past 3 seasons. The house this year is more compact unlike last year, leaving no scope for contestants to have any personal space or time. From being a sanctuary, the house will now be a cage with contestants gnawing at each other’s nerves.

The Bigg Boss game is not like chess where you can plan your moves… your next move will land you on someone’s toe… mean gets meaner, loud gets even louder, jab Double Vaat lagegi sabki tab sabko Bigg Boss yaad ayenge!

Bigg Boss 5 to premiere on October 2nd at 8.00 pm. Subsequent episodes to be aired from Monday to Friday at 10.30 pm and Saturday –Sunday at 10.00 pm
