When and where to watch Season 3
The reality show, which would feature celebrity contestants getting locked inside a house for over a month, will premiere on Friday, June 21 at 9 pm. The show is premiering exclusively on JioCinema Premium.

About contestants:
This season is expected to be a mix of TV actors, influencers, newsmakers, musicians, and sports personalities. Some of the rumoured names include Sai Ketan Rao, Paulomi Polo Das, Sana Sultan, Sana Makbul, Vishal Pandey, Chandrika Gera Dixit, Naezy, Neeraj Goyat and Armaan Malik and two wives - Payal and Kritika.
Opening up about hosting the season, Anil told Hindustan Times, “We're all different people. So, the idea is just to be yourself, use your life experiences and the kind of person you are. When I did 24, originally done by Kiefer Sutherland, or The Night Manager, my role originally played by Hugh Laurie, they are world-class actors. Or when I've done Hindi remakes of films in which Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth or Chiranjeevi were the leading men. They have their own style. But when you do it, you make it your own”.
