Bigg Boss is a popular reality show in India which is in its 18th season currently. The show's finale will air on 19th January 2025. For the unversed, the show is touted as a social experiment where people from all walks of life, mainly from the entertainment industry, enter a closed house for a set period.?Hundreds of cameras all over the house capture all their actions and daily activities, even at night.?
Every week, through public voting or internal tasks, contestants are eliminated until one takes the trophy home as the winner of the show along with a cash prize.?However, staying in the house comes with a set of rules that every contestant must follow, without any exceptions.??
As Bigg Boss 18 nears the end. Let's have a look at all the rules that are mandatory for contestants to follow.?
As Bigg Boss airs on a Hindi entertainment channel, Colours, with a live 24/7 feed on OTT platform JioCinema, the contestants are required to only converse in Hindi.?
If participants speak in any other language Bigg Boss immediately reminds them to switch to Hindi. Exceptions are made for participants whose mother tongue is not Hindi, like when Pamela Anderson appeared in?season 4 of the show.?
Participants are required to wear their microphones at all times, except in designated private areas like the bathroom. Any attempt to speak without a mic or to hide conversations from the cameras is strictly prohibited and is immediately pointed out by Bigg Boss.?
All the conversations must be had out in the open publicly. No participants are allowed to whisper during conversations or speak into someone's ear. Bigg Boss addresses the contestants if they are speaking something and the microphones can't detect what the participant is talking about.?
While arguments and disagreements are part of the show¡¯s appeal, physical violence or threats are strictly forbidden. Any breach of this rule can lead to immediate eviction from the house.?
Contestants are not allowed to write messages or communicate through gestures to keep things fair and transparent. Any such attempts to convey hidden meanings can result in disciplinary action.?
The voice of Bigg Boss is the ultimate authority. Contestants must adhere to every instruction given by Bigg Boss, whether it¡¯s a task, punishment, or a simple announcement. Ignoring the commands can lead to warnings or penalties.?
Bigg Boss tasks are a core element of the show. Contestants must participate in all tasks assigned to them, as these often determine their luxuries, punishments, or immunity. Refusing to participate can have consequences, including nomination for eviction.??
Sleeping during the day is prohibited, except when specifically allowed by Bigg Boss. This rule ensures contestants remain active and engaged in the game throughout the day. The contestants are allowed to sleep only when the lights of the house are off, which is not in the hands of the participants.?
For regular smokers, a dedicated smoking area is designed inside the house. However, the participants are not allowed to speak when they are in the smoking zone, and only one person is allowed to smoke at once. Multiple entries into the smoking zone are strictly prohibited. Contestants are often seen waiting outside the smoking zone for their turn.?
All the housemates nominate each other every week for someone to get evicted from the show, which is mostly based on public voting. However, the contestants are not allowed to discuss the nominations among themselves.?
The rule seems to be in place to make eviction a fair gameplay devoid of personal alliances and game strategy among contestants.?
