During the launch on 3 October, fourteen hand-picked housemates[3][4] entered the house located in Lonavla, a hill station, about 100 kilometres east of Mumbai in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Two additional wild card entries were made during the second and third weeks, taking the number of contestants to sixteen. The housemates, considered strangers to each other, spent 96 days (14 weeks) locked up together under the supervision of 32 cameras fitted around the house.[5] Four of the housemates, Ashmit Patel, Dolly Bindra, The Great Khali and Shweta Tiwari, reached the final week, facing public vote. The show ended on 8 January 2011 with the grand finale. Shweta Tiwari emerged as the winner, going away with a prize money of 10 million, while The Great Khali was announced as the runner-up.[6][7]

Production

Development

Salman Khan appointed as a host for the first

The season was announced in June 2010 by the makers and channel. Amitabh Bachchan, who presented the third season announced his departure from the show.[8] Shahrukh Khan was first offered to host the series but he rejected it and was later replaced by Salman Khan.[9][10][11] The final list of contestants was revealed on 2 October 2010.

Broadcast

The series was broadcast on Colors TV for the second time.[12] Salman Khan presented the show on the weekends where a segment called 'Bigg Boss - Aapka Farmaan' was introduced and broadcast every Friday (eviction night) and Saturday. The finale was aired on 8 January 2011.

Casting

In July 2010, Sara Khan was roped in as the first housemate to enter. Khan quit her show Sapna Babul Ka... Bidaai to be a part of the series.[13] In September 2010, Shweta Tiwari was roped in as the second housemate.[14]

In September 2010, Kelly Brook rejected the show and was replaced by Veena Malik, who was confirmed last minute.[15] Neetu Chandra, Shoaib Akhtar and Sania Mirza had also rejected the series as well.[16]

Shweta Tiwari became the first female to win the series

Wrestler The Great Khali and Actress Shanaya Randhawa were roped in as the first wild card entrants in October 2010. In November 2010, Pamela Anderson entered the show as a guest which spiked the rating up high.

The eye logo was revealed in September 2010 with colours contrasting of white, black and turquoise.

House

The house images were revealed in September 2010 with a big garden, dining area, living area, confession room and bedroom.[17]

Release

In September 2010, a promo featuring Salman Khan was released.[18] The music video promo of Bigg Boss 4 was later released in mid September 2010.[19]

Controversies

  • During the first week of the show's airing, activists of Shiv Sena, a political party, started protesting against the inclusion of Pakistani housemates in the show.[20][21]
  • One of the contestants, Sakshi Pradhan felt that she may be pregnant and spoke about her concern to fellow housemates Shweta Tiwari, Veena Malik and Sara Khan. However the video of the conversation was not aired. After receiving permission from Bigg Boss, Sakshi was allowed to leave the house for a short time to see a doctor.[22]
  • After being evicted from the house, Rahul Bhatt claimed that Bigg Boss is scripted.
  • In November 2010, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry served a stay order to Colors, due to complaints of indecent exposure aired on national television, asking the channel to change the timings of the show from 9 PM to 11.30 PM.[23] The channel later got a stay order from Bombay High Court allowing them to continue the telecast of the show during prime time.[24]
