Concept

Fourteen (originally twelve) celebrities, along with a hidden spy (later revealed to be Ragini Shetty), are placed inside the Big Boss house for 12 weeks with only a suitcase of luggage and no access to domestic help or stylists. The contestants have to cook and clean by themselves, and are given tasks by the Big Boss each week. The contestants are also allowed to place "gambles" upon their tasks, gaining money to order supplies if they win and losing money if they fail. Every week, each contestant is taken into the Confession Room and asked to nominate two contestants along with their reasons for nomination. The nation then votes to evict a contestant.
