MUMBAI: Bigg Boss is one of the most popular as well as controversial reality shows. Currently, season 14 of the show is on air.

Over all these years, the Bigg Boss house has become a place to get fame and name, revive dying careers and also a place to get out of bankruptcy and financial crisis. They ditch their phones, disconnect from the world and display their lives on a public platform as they get locked inside the Bigg Boss house. The reason is simple. They get big bucks for it. For contestants in dire straits, the lure is even bigger.
