Twists

Phones

For the first time in the seventeen-year history of Bigg Boss, housemates are allowed to use phones during this season.

However, only the "Baaharwala" has access to feedback from the outside world.

Baaharwala

This person would receive information and feedback from the outside world until being fired by Bigg Boss. The "Baaharwala” would possess special powers and be immune from evictions, even if they were nominated.

In order to make a wish, the housemates needed to sacrifice a personal item belonging to another contestant in the well.

On Day 4, as a result of the housemates' unsuccessful attempt at the rankings task, Bigg Boss provided an additional supply of ration to the housemates, ensuring they had adequate resources for the following seven days. On Day 7, following the completion of the Magical Well task, Bigg Boss requested that five housemates nominate two housemates who would be subject to punishment. Ranvir and Shivani were ultimately chosen for the penalty, which involved holding their ears and continuously circling the well desk in the living area while saying, "Mere Pyaare Ghar Waalo, Mujhe Maaf Kardo" (Translation: "My dear housemates, please forgive me"). The punishment continued until Bigg Boss announced it to be over. However, as the punishments were not fully carried out, Bigg Boss refrained from fulfilling any wishes made by the housemates during the task.

Nomination notes

• ^1 : On Day 3, each housemate was required to nominate two other housemates for the eviction process. However, Bigg Boss introduced a twist, which meant that only the nominations made by the Baaharwala, Sana S were accepted and finalized.
• ^2 : On Day 6, Bigg Boss instructed the Baaharwala, Sana S, to choose three housemates who would be exempt from the nomination process. The Bahaarwaala selected Armaan, Payal, and Chandrika, rendering them ineligible to vote in the upcoming eviction proceedings. Following this decision, each housemate was then required to nominate two other contestants for eviction.
• ^3 : On Day 6, Sana S was removed from her role as the Baaharwala, as discreetly announced by Bigg Boss.
• ^4 : On Day 9, Sai's wish to save Armaan and Deepak from nominations was granted. He was immuned from the nominations but he gave up his power of Baaharwala to save Sana S from nominations.
• ^5 : On Day 10, housemates were required to nominate in pairs with another housemate. They had the option of choosing between two other housemates, one whom they wanted to save and one whom they wanted to nominate for eviction. If the pair couldn't reach a mutual agreement on a decision, the pair itself would be nominated, and both of their options would be directly saved.
• ^6 : On Day 12, live voting was opened for three hours to determine the bottom two among the bottom three housemates. Once the voting period concluded, the Baaharwala, Lovekesh, made the final decision on whom to evict from the bottom two.
• ^7 : On Day 13, Bigg Boss granted the Baaharwala, Lovekesh, the right to allot a certain number of nomination rights to all the housemates, ranging from one to six. After receiving their respective nomination rights, the housemates proceeded to make their nominations.
• ^8 : On Day 16, Munisha Khatwani and Sana S were declared as the bottom two contestants. The housemates, excluding Munisha and Sana S, had to vote to evict one of them from the Bigg Boss house.
• ^9 : On Day 16, host Anil Kapoor announced the nomination of Armaan Malik for the remainder of the season as a consequence of his act of physical violence towards fellow housemate Vishal Pandey.
• ^10 : On Day 17, each housemate received two letters to write to two fellow housemates, granting them immunity from nominations.

• ^15 : On Day 26, Bigg Boss gave power of nomination to Head of House Armaan where he could nominate four more housemates along with him and Adnaan who were nominated by Bigg Boss as punishment while Ranvir got nomination power by winning power of vetto where he could nominate one more housemate for eviction.

Reception

The series premiere episode was reviewed by Grace Cyril for Times Now. She wrote, "Once a powerhouse of entertainment, this season seems to have started on dull note. The High-voltage drama fell flat largely, making it a snooze fest."

Pratidin Time wrote, "While Kapoor exuded his signature suave charm, attempts to engage the audience fell short, perhaps due to peculiar editing choices that diluted the impact, evident in the disjointed laughter track. Even the introduction of the first contestant, the Vada Pav Girl, lacked the anticipated punch."
