Unlike last year, commoners entering the show, will not be paid for participation, instead, they will win money after accomplishing tasks. Special bonus system has also been introduced for those responsible for better TRPs.

Also, for the first time in the history of Bigg Boss, the makers have included a special clause, which will refrain contestants from maligning the image of the channel and the makers following their eviction. The special clause, which, if broken, will result in the evicted contestants returning Rs 10 lakh from their total earnings from the show or the winning amount.
