They were continuously monitored by live television cameras and personal audio microphones. Housemates were evicted periodically based on audience votes and nominations from fellow housemates. Key aspects of the season included tasks and challenges set by Bigg Boss, interactions and relationships between contestants, and the drama arising from these interactions. Contestants came from various backgrounds including acting, singing, journalism, and social media.
