Bigg Boss Season 6 – Village Theme

By season 5, Bigg Boss had become a rather controversial show. So, in season 6, the approach was to make it more parivarik, and hence the tagline – Alag Che. This was the first season in which a theme of sorts was introduced and it was a Village Theme.

Bigg Boss 16 Theme Speculations

Enough about the previous themes. Let’s talk about the Bigg Boss 16 house theme and all the speculations around it.

There have been several reports claiming that the theme for this season was something along the lines of “Ocean and Water” or an Aqua theme. In some of the leaked images from the set circulating on the internet, the Bigg Boss house can be seen adorned with bright blue and gold hues with sea-inspired embellishments.

But according to some other speculations, the theme for Bigg Boss 16 house is not going to be Aqua Theme but a Circus Theme instead.

Shocked? We were too. So many reports claimed the theme would be Aqua that we didn’t think there could be any other speculations. But according to a YouTube video, this season’s theme isn’t Aqua but a Circus Theme instead.

In all the promos Salman Khan was heard mentioning, “Iss baar Bigg Boss khelenge” and we all were wondering what could it mean. Although there is no confirmed news from the official channels, speculations are that the Bigg Boss house will have everything that you can see in a Circus. 

According to reports, the Bigg Boss house is ready and is made to look like a circus with all its iconic tents and features like Maut Ka Kuan, etc. The house will also hone different animals and stuntmen and the host Salman Khan will be the Ringmaster of the circus.

Now, are these reports true? We can’t be sure until there is some official announcement but does this excite us? Definitely YES! 

The question is also whether the Bigg Boss 16 theme will be an Aqua theme as previously reported or a Circus theme as per new speculations. 

If it’s the latter, it would also be interesting to see how this Circus theme will be executed and what roles will the contestants play in Bigg Boss’ Circus. 

The fact that Salman Khan keeps mentioning “Rule ye hai ki koi rule nahi hai” combined with the speculations of a Circus theme, one can only wonder about the entertainment and drama that will ensue.
