“Family friendly” ‘Bigg Boss 6’ launches in October

Colors has announced the launch of the new edition of its blockbuster reality show ��� ‘Bigg Boss 6’ – branding it ��Alag Che�۪ (Different) that makes it apt for cohesive viewing for the entire family.

Keeping the strategic shift in content and treatment, the show will be aired daily at 21:00 from Sunday to Monday starting Sunday 7th October as a wholesome family entertainer with Salman Khan delivering his usual punch.

Speaking on the ��alag�۪ factor this season, Salman Khan said, ���Bigg Boss Season 6 will connect with the whole family this time – there will be a lot of fun while watching the ��nok-jhonk�۪ between housemates. Just like every happy family that has different strokes for different folks, Bigg Boss�۪ house will also have ��alag�۪ personalities, along with their quirks and eccentricities. So be ready with your family members to watch these new twists and turns, whether sitting on the couch or while you�۪re at your dinner table.�۝

Commenting on the launch of the show, Raj Nayak, CEO ��� Colors said, ���If Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is Dancing with the Stars, Bigg Boss is Camping with the Stars. Every season we bring something innovative to the show and to add, to the twist this season, we have opened the doors of the Bigg Boss house to ��aam aadmi�۪. Giving them direct access to celebrities and their lifestyles, they will get a chance to rub shoulders with them and emerge as stars in their own right thereafter.�۝

Speaking about the host of the show Salman Khan, who will be seen at the helm of things, he said, ���Salman Khan has a universal appeal ��� he is loved by everybody from a 7 year old to a 70-year old. So we are now bringing your favorite star to your living room every week in an ��alag�۪ avatar.�۝

Giving the audience something more to talk about, ‘Bigg Boss 6’ ��� ��Alag Che�۪ will not just be about celebrities who will enter ‘Bigg Boss’ but also welcome with open arms, an ‘aam aadmi’. This will give the viewers an opportunity to experience in the Bigg Boss house from a common-man�۪s perspective! Making this season ��alag�۪ from the previous ones, ‘Bigg Boss’ will have two charming houseguests ��� a fish and a talking parrot to give company to the housemates. Combining all this with the raw energy, intensity and an affable Salman Khan, this season guarantees to take over dinner table conversations and make people, sit, watch and talk about the ‘Bigg Boss’.

Adding further, Manisha Sharma, Weekend Programming Head, Colors said, ���This season, Bigg Boss will be the perfect mix of emotion, drama, fun and entertainment. However, what won�۪t be changing is the fact that the contestants will be devoid of what we consider normal in everyday life ��� a phone, the TV, a wall clock etc and their reactions to being away from all that they consider dear will cause pressure cooker situations which will be interesting to watch. Evolving to exotic beings with the parrot and the fish this year, we hope the show will be a perfect blend of the common man�۪s views and stars with their starry tantrums�۝.

Talking about the new season, Deepak Dhar, Managing Director, Endemol India said, “We have always thrived to innovate and raise the bar. Season after season Bigg Boss has been the talk of town and to maintain the same amount of fanfare we have incorporated a gamut of innovations and new ideas based on our observations and learning from the Bigg Brother Format world over. With the inclusion of the common man in the Bigg Boss House, we will present a wholesome family entertainer to the viewers.�۝
