With the OTT version having come to an end of it’s very first season, Bigg Boss is all set to return to tv screens with it’s all new fifteenth season, and will witness everyone’s favourite superstar Salman Khan as the reality show’s host for the 11th time now.

All prepped to premier on Colors TV on Saturday, October 2, Bigg Boss 15 will feature some popular celebrities, a whole new theme and some exciting plot twists to look forward to, and here’s looking at why will the show be something much more grand and unique than all it’s previous seasons.

Premier Schedule

Bigg Boss 15 is scheduled to hit your tv screens from Monday-Friday on Colors TV at 10:30 pm and from Saturday-Sunday at 9:30 pm, premiering on Saturday, October 2.

Show’s Theme

As every year, Bigg Boss comes up with a catchy theme to suit each season with a different theme for a change and variety of content that the contestants give out.

However, this season is all set to witness an altogether out-of-the-box theme, that is sure to take it’s contestants as well as the audience by surprise.

Based on the theme ‘jungle’, the promo video rolled out by Colors TV shows that this year, it won’t be so easy for the contestants, who would have to survive in a forest, and fight for every comfort that they crave for. Before entering the house, they would be entitled to tasks in the forest and only after successfully competing and winning over others, will they be welcomed to the luxuries of the Bigg Boss house.

The previous OTT season revolved around the theme ‘#StayConnected’, where contestants were supposed to survive in the game by maintaining connections and sticking to their partners till the very end. Before that, Season 14 was based on the theme ‘Ab Scene Paltega’, where the contestants were subjected to shocking twists each time they felt that they were safe in the show.

Plot Twists

Reportedly, this year will also be subjected to a whole lot of surprising and shocking twists and turns while the contestants are at their gameplay.

The participants will be divided into teams, although we know how much the show vouches for individuality and solo gameplay, and that the contestants have been free to make alliances and side by people of their choice before, which might not be the situation now.

Things may escalate and turn topsy-turvy if the production team and the makers decide on teaming up certain contestants together.

Also, it has been reported, that the very gorgeous and the oh so popular leading ladies of the previous seasons, Rubina Dilaik, Gauhar Khan and Shweta Tiwari may enter the show with their own tribes.

Pratik Sehajpal is the first and the only confirmed contestant as of now, who chose to get away with the briefcase and won a direct entry ticket to Bigg Boss 15 during the OTT version’s grand finale, and is currently quarantining for Salman Khan’s show.

 PRATIK’S STRENGTHS

Smart Player

Pratik has already been in two other reality shows which makes him aquatinted with the format of the show. He made a kick start with an angry young attitude man in the house. However, in the later stages, he even showed his calm, sweet and caring side to the audience.

Passionate

With his massive fan following Pratik has made his goal very clear right from day 1. His passion for the game is solid proof of how much he loves the game. Be it going all out during tasks, his bonds to unabashedly and apologetically opening about himself in front of the world, Pratik has been crystal clear about his aim to win the show.

His contrasting personality

Pratik has shown us all the layers of his personality. Be it witty, humorous, charming or even aggressive, the young man has entertained the audience thoroughly.

 PRATIK’S WEAKNESS

Aggression

Initially, Pratik was observed as an aggressive and rude person. He would argue even on trivial issues. During a task, his quarrel with Zeeshan Khan got so intense that the latter was finally eliminated from the show after he pushed Pratik.

Wrong moves

No doubt Pratik is competitive but his actions have led the task to get cancelled. He is very enthusiastic in performing the tasks but often gets them wrong and loses all the credibility.

Breaking Akshara’s heart

He was going strong with his connection with Akshara Singh but later dumped her to choose Neha Bhasin. This broke Akshara’s heart, she even cried for this. Akshara had chosen him on the premier night and this made fans upset when he dumped her midway.

Fans want to see Divya Agarwal and Pratik Sehajpal in Bigg Boss 15. To note, Divya and Pratik have a massive fan following.

Divya and Pratik won the support of fans with 53.5 % votes, followed by Shamita and Divya’s pair.

With Neha Bhasin getting evicted Moose Jattana was quite happy with the decision. Apart from Moose, Akshara Singh also expressed happiness over Neha’s eviction from the show. Taking to Instagram stories, she said, “Aap ne apna saare sastra apnake bhi.. bechaari.. kuch nahi kar pyi.. Chundi ji.. Bahar aa hi gayi. Mubarak ho, Mubarak ho.”

Neha Bhasin answered the question raised by the media over Pratik and her’s budding friendship. She said, “I have been facing sexist uncouth remarks since my childhood. If a man roams around the house shirtless no one will tell him anything but if I will people will pinpoint me for the same. It’s ok I have faced this and still facing such remarks but I just have one thing to say that whatever it is just say it to my face Boldly so that even I can revert on the same with boldness.”

Recently Neha Bhasin and Pratik Sehajpal’s equation was trolled online. The makers of Bigg Boss OTT shared a video on Instagram wherein the two were seen fighting with each other. The video was shared with a caption, “Ohh teri BiggBoss OTT ke ghar mein itna cute jhagda! Kya aap ko bhi ye lagte hai ladte hue cute? Watch #BiggBossOTT, streaming now on Voot!
