Premiered on October 3 last year, Bigg Boss 14 ran for more than four months. The season was themed as “Ab Scene Paltega” while the house had a mix of funky bright colours and metallic hues blended for a futuristic look. Given the coronavirus pandemic, makers of the Bigg Boss house designed the set keeping necessary COVID-19 protocols in mind. 

Bigg Boss 14 was Salman’s 11th season as the show host. This time, the Bollywood actor made headlines for his perceived partiality. During the show, he was slammed by his fans several times for picking his favourites and doing everything to portray them in a good light. The actor even got trolled online for preaching moral values to the contestants in his ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episodes.
