The concept of the show is such that a number of contestants (celebs mostly and some commoners as well) enter a secluded house called the Big Boss house which is under CCTV surveillance 24×7. Every week new tasks are given to the contestants of the house. The Big Boss house also has its own set of rules that need to be followed by every contestant. The show’s period is for about three to four months until the finale day. The person who survives till the end and wins the show takes home a huge sum of cash prize along with other goodies from the sponsors of the show.
