Bigg Boss Halla Bol is the spin-off of the Indian reality television show Bigg Boss. It was a merger of Bigg Boss 8 similarly to the concept adopted by the Ultimate Big Brother. Five contestants from previous seasons enters the house to compete with five regular entrants of the season 8 finale.[1] Farah Khan hosted the new format of the show,[2] as Salman bid adieu to the show because of his filming schedule of Bajrangi Bhaijaan.[3][4]
The series was won by Gautam Gulati.[5]
The ratings held a record for an all-time low with the final only managing to score a TRP of 2.82 until Bigg Boss 15 finale aired grabbing a rating of only 1.9.[6] The official tabulators for the show being Ernst & Young allegedly had formed the final result based on a number of votes which was not only less than the previous seasons but also the evictions for the same series.[7] An additional statement released by the firm revealed that the percentage separating the final two contenders was lower than one whole unit indicating figurative comparison to a photo finish.[8]
