Bigg Boss OTT Season 3: When is the release date & time?
Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 marks a notable shift with Anil Kapoor stepping in as the host, taking over from Salman Khan. With a tagline promising fresh dynamics, “Bhaut ho gya Jhakaas, Karte hai kuch Naya Khaas” (Too much of Jhakaas, let’s do something special), Kapoor aims to bring his own style and energy to the show. Reportedly, Salman Khan’s busy schedule prompted makers to choose Kapoor for this season.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the premiere, Kapoor said, “Bigg Boss OTT and I are a dream team. We’re both young at heart; people often say – jokingly – that I’m reverse aging, but Bigg Boss is – seriously – timeless. It feels a bit like going back to school, trying something new and exciting.”
The streaming platform announced the release date and time via X, setting it to premiere on June 21 at 9 pm (IST). This announcement has sparked anticipation among fans eager to see how Kapoor will steer the show with his charisma and style.
Where to watch Bigg Boss OTT Season 3?
JioCinema has made a significant announcement regarding the exclusive streaming of the reality show on its platform. Unlike previous seasons, this time the show will be available exclusively on JioCinema Premium. However, this necessitates viewers to have a subscription to access the content. Confirming the same, JioCinema shared a caption alongside their promotional videos stating, “#BiggBossOTT3 streaming exclusively on JioCinema Premium starting 21 June, 9 pm.”
To make the subscription more accessible, JioCinema is offering special plans. Viewers can opt for a subscription at ₹29 ($0.35), which is limited to one device. Additionally, there is a family plan priced at ₹89 ($1.07), allowing benefits on up to 4 devices. However, this strategy aims to cater to the dedicated audience eager to experience the drama and entertainment of Bigg Boss OTT season 3 through their digital platform.
Bigg Boss OTT Season 3: Who are the contestants?
As anticipation builds for Bigg Boss OTT Season 3, JioCinema recently teased the arrival of the first confirmed contestant. The platform shared a promo on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Spice, drama, and entertainment… Sab milega when our first contestant enters the Bigg Boss house. Can you guess who this #TeekhiMirchi is?.” However, the platform hinted at the identity of this contestant without revealing their face. This leads fans to speculate it might be Chandrika Dixit, popularly known as Vada Pav Girl.
According to reports from Timesnownews, several other contestants have been confirmed for the reality show. These include Sai Ketan Rao, Sana Makbul, Sana Sultan, Poulomi Das, Maxtern (Sagar Thakur), and Dolly Chaiwala.
However, BiggBoss Tak on Twitter reported a setback regarding Sonam Khan’s participation. Stating the reason, the account wrote, “The deal between the makers and Sonam Khan couldn’t be finalized due to price issues and contractual terms. Sonam’s high weekly pay demand and production budget issues led her to back out from #BiggBossOTT3.”
Additionally, ABPlive has revealed a tentative list of Bigg Boss OTT 3. It features Cheshta Bhagat, Dalljiet Kaur, Harshad Chopda, Nikhil Mehta, Shehzada Dhami, Vishal Pandey, and Shivangi Joshi.
