The Bigg Boss house has been split into two different areas, one side is designed with elegance and sophistication representing the freedom and flight(birds), and the other is created with difficulties and scarcity representing the survival of the fittest (animals). This amazing idea of intense emotional and psychological gameplay, is now possible with the help of these two extremes.
