Bigg Boss Bangla Season 3 House Mixes Ambition With Imperfections
Bigg Boss Bangla has returned after being away for 10 years.
Fifteen contestants entered the new house.
The house is very large, covering 7,000 square feet.
It has colorful decorations inspired by Bengal, including trams, fish, tigers, music and taxis.
More than 55 cameras record what happens inside.
The house was built quickly, in about two and a half months.
Some parts looked unfinished, with loose wallpapers and carpets.
The producer said the house follows Vaastu rules and that the contestants, rather than the design, create the drama.
Bigg Boss Bangla Season 3 premiered with 15 contestants after a decade-long break.
The 7,000-square-foot house features retro pop-art designs and Bengal-inspired cultural references.
The house includes more than 55 cameras and was built in 2.5 months.
A review praised the garden and first-floor sit-out but criticized unfinished wallpapers, carpets and the small storeroom.
Producer Abhishek Mukherjee defended the house’s Vaastu compliance and described the large production workforce.

Quotes
Abhishek Mukherjee
Head of Project for Bigg Boss Bangla
“Shyam has been with us for a very long time; he has designed the sets for various other languages. When it came to Bangla, we wanted the Kolkata elements to be balanced. It shouldn’t look typical but aspirational. Shyam has done a great job. His turnaround time is incredible. He prepared the house in 2.5 months, which is great.”

“The houses are very much Vaastu compliant. The show is all about personalities, so if we reverse the vaastu leading to them to fight, it’s not that easy. We don’t tweak the vaastu for content or as per our convenience. I don’t know what Paras Chhabra saw, but there are no religious motifs hidden in the house either.”
