Bigg Boss 7 (Hindi) is the seventh season of Bigg Boss (Hindi).
Background[]
The season was announced in July 2013 with Salman Khan returning as the host. The series lasted for fifteen weeks and 105 days.
The theme of this season was Heaven and Hell where the housemates were initially divided into two separate sections of the house, one called "Heaven" and the other "Hell."
Eye Logo[]
The eye was revealed by the channel Colors in August 2013. It features colours of Red, Brown and Yellow. It is because of the theme of this season.
The House[]
Heaven[]
The heaven side of the house has a pool and a beach like feel and also has a portion that has a dome like ceiling designed to look like a skyline filled with clouds. The walls of the house are not only colorful but also have words like ‘crazy’ written on it with much flair. It also has a quote written on a wall that is the highlight of the living area. The house also includes a wash basin with a cycle. For the first time in the history of Bigg Boss, the house has a clock in the living room.[1]
Hell[]
The hell side of the house has beds arranged on the floor but not much of a comfort to any of the contestants. The house is separated by a fence. There is one gate which is connected to the heaven side. Food is a big concern for the contestants as participants in this area do not have a kitchen. As per an announcement by bigg boss all the food is prepared by heaven living mates for themselves and for hell living mates. Also there is no demarcation between the bedroom and living area and will give the house a dormitory kind of a look. The toilets inside the hell half have only Indian style sitting and the water is to be filled manually and used for all daily chores from a tap planted outside.[1]
Circumspection between Houses[]
According to the concept of Heaven and Hell, and the boundary between two houses, Bigg Boss orders some strictures among inmates of both houses. With these orders, Inmates are unable to cross the boundary of each other places without the permission of Bigg Boss, No one can give anything from heaven side to hell or vice versa in any condition, but, they can share only food which is the basic necessity of both inmates and as hellmates have no kitchen and all the responsibility of food is of heavenmates.[1]
Twists[]
- Bigg Boss Warden: For the first time in the history of Bigg Boss has an assistance of warden, called Bigg Boss Warden who will take the charge of keeping a close eye on the inmates. She has a responsibility for making inmates wake up on time, keep an eye on inmates tasks and their actions. It is the only new element that is common for both the houses.
- BB Caravan: In Week 6, the makers introduced a BB Caravan (another set up in the house) where new entrants Ajaz Khan & Candy Brar entered. Later on Day 45, Andy Kumar was kept in the caravan where another new entrant Sofia Hayat entered.

The following housemates were involved in a breach of the rules and were either given a warning or ejection by the Bigg Boss producers.
Day | Housemate | Reason | Result | |
---|---|---|---|---|
38 | Tanishaa |
Kushal |
Nominated after a physical fight during a task in week 6 & Kushal body shaming Tanishaa. | Nominated |
44 | Kushal |
Hitting co-contestant Andy Kumar and trying to leave the house by going on the roof. | Ejected |
Kushal & Tanishaa's fight[]
In Week 6, the fight between Kushal Tandon & Tanishaa Mukerji got ugly after Tanishaa pushed into Kushal.[2] Post this Tandon body shamed Mukerji and said "Look at where you are and look at your sister (Kajol)". After this Bigg Boss punished Tanishaa for her violent behaviour and Kushal for trying to escape the house.[3]
Kushal Tandon's ejection & Gauahar Khan's exit[]
In Week 7, on Day 44, Kushal Tandon got kicked out of the house after hitting co-contestant Andy Kumar.[4] After he was asked to leave Gauahar Khan also left the house but she made a re-entry in the next day.
Post after his ejection, Kushal said in an exclusive interview saying "In fact, I should have slapped Andy before leaving. At least I would have earned my dismissal from the show." "After my exit, the makers of the show got in touch with me. They want me back. But I have no intention to make an entry this way. Bigg Boss should instead do a poll to see if I deserve to re-enter the house. I'll return to the house only if I get maximum positive votes."[5]
Armaan Kohli & Sofia Hayat's fight[]
In week 11, there was a massive fight between Armaan Kohli & Sofia Hayat where later Armaan hit Sofia which made Hayat very shocked and upset. During the weekend ka vaar episode Salman Khan had supported Armaan instead of Sofia. Post after her eviction in week 12, Sofia had filed an police complaint against Armaan where the police had taken Kohli a day later but he returned.[6]
Sofia had said "Now my main concern is to fight. I didn’t lodge a complaint immediately because the Colors team had tied me up with interviews for two days after coming out of the house. I was under contract. As soon as I got free, I complained to the police. I had a lot of faith in the Indian judicial system, but I am surprised. Despite the fact that the police have video footage (of Armaan “manhandling” Sofia), how did he get bail? It’s very shocking and disappointing. However, I did get some sort of justice by getting Armaan arrested. I will continue to fight."
When I had entered the Bigg Boss house, I was told that there won’t be any violence or personal attacks. When Armaan hit me, I thought someone would take a step but that didn’t happen."[7]
She later planned to sue the channel and makers of Bigg Boss 7.
