Bigg Boss (Hindi TV series) season 7
Bigg Boss 7 (tagline: Jannat Ka Wow Aur Jahannam Ka Aaw Dekhege Saath Saath) is the seventh season of the Indian reality TV series Bigg Boss[1] which aired on TV channel Colors TV from 15 September 2013, with Salman Khan returning as the host for the fourth time and this season is longer than its predecessor, Bigg Boss 6 and lasted for 15 weeks (104 days) concluding on Saturday, 28 December 2013. The seventh season was launched with the tagline- 'Jannat Ka Wow Aur Jahannam Ka Aaw Dekhege Saath Saath'. The show started airing at 9:00 everyday from 15 September.[2][3]
The series was won by Indian model and actress Gauhar Khan on 28 December 2013.[4] While Tanisha Mukherjee was runner-up, Ajaz Khan remained 3rd and Sangram Singh remained 4th.[5]
Finalist, Ajaz Khan returned as a guest in the eighth edition of the show to later compete in Bigg Boss Halla Bol. He was ejected from the house on Day 2.
House themes
The contestants were initially divided into two separate sections of the house, one called "Heaven" and the other "Hell." The "Heaven" side of the house included the pool and considerably more luxuries, while residents of the "Hell" side lacked running water and a kitchen of their own. Inmates in "Hell" were forced to rely on the housemates in the "Heaven" side for food and to use a tap outdoors for water. This was revealed to the housemates on launch night, and entrants Tanishaa and Andy were tasked with dividing them into households.[6]
As long as the division lasted, inmates were not permitted to cross the boundaries or, except for food, share items between the two sides. On the 31st day, the "Hell" facility was demolished and all remaining contestants moved to "Heaven."

The series was first broadcast in India on network Colors beginning 15 September 2013.[7] The series was also broadcast in Pakistan on ARY Digital beginning 21 September 2013[8] and in the United Kingdom on Colors UK on 15 September 2013.[9]
