RE: BIGG BOSS 8 ( Natasha evicted )
MUMBAI: For seasons on, ‘Bigg Boss’ has been a
mouthful of controversy, and just as full of
success as no other reality show on Indian
television. So, my decision to finally set off to
the ‘Bigg Boss’ set in Lonavala was quite
justified: I wanted to know how the show was
made across seasons and regions.
The Bigg Boss House is located in a sprawling,
well-guarded property. Right next to the house is
a special chalet built for Salman Khan’s stay
during the weekend as he shoots the ‘Weekend
Ka Vaar’ episodes.
There is a lot of hustle bustle going on as it’s
the Diwali special episode. There are many
performances in store and Khan is set to enter
the house to meet the contestants.
Endemol India MD Deepak Dhar says that he was
at first left wondering after watching ‘Big
Brother’—how to pitch this in the Indian market.
But he also knew that “any format that we bring
into the country should be adapted culturally and
we managed that perfectly.”
The show was initially on Sony Entertainment
Television, from where it shifted to Colors upon
its launch. Viewers were also treated to a variety
of hosts starting from Arshad Warsi to Big
Brother UK winner Shilpa Shetty to Amitabh
Bachchan to the Salman – Sanjay Dutt duo, and
currently Salman Khan, since Season 4.
