Bigg Boss 6 is the sixth season of the Indian Hindi-language reality TV show Bigg Boss, which is telecast on Colors TV. The season started on 7 October 2012 and ended on 12 January 2013. Salman Khan, who was the host of the previous two seasons, again hosted the season.^[1] The sixth season was launched as a Parivarik season with a Gujarati tagline- Alag che! (English: It's different).

The series was won by soap actress Urvashi Dholakia on 12 January 2013. Imam Siddiqui was the first runner up while Sana Khan and Niketan Madhok were second and third runners-up respectively.

The final episode on 12 January had a 4.4 TVR (television rating points), becoming the highest-rated non-fiction show during the week.^[2] The finale also fared better than its previous season, which had dropped to 3.6 TVR.

Luxury house

The purpose built house is located at Lonavla, Maharashtra. It is designed by renowned art director Sabu Cyril. The house is built over an area of 15000 square feet. Featuring a more subtle and home-like feel with shades of red and white, it follows a completely different look from the previous year's house.

Rooms/Areas in the house include

• Confession room
• Captain's Quarters (the reward room)
• Living room
• Kitchen/Dining room
• The utility room
• Two separate bedrooms, along with storage shelves to store the housemates possessions
  • One with Sunflower beds, wherein the petals act as beds, other with normal beds
• Bathroom
• Garden area which has a small pool with four white chairs placed next it

In the grand premiere there was a twist where these more housemates came as commoners and the public had to vote which one of them will be selected to go inside. Kashif was selected while Divya and Rohin was rejected.^[4]

The Padosi Ghar (Neighbour house) or the Secret village was revealed on Day 41, following the eviction of Aashka. Bigg Boss revealed that this year some evicted housemates and new entries will move to the village house where they will live for an undisclosed amount of time. Eventually, some of the housemates living in the village may return to the main house. The house is built on grounds adjacent to the luxury house on a space only one-fourth of the size of the former. This rustic squatters' area has been designed by Leena Chanda. It is not equipped with amenities like air conditioning, microwave ovens, sink and swimming pool.^[5] 4 days after re-entering the village house Imam was relocated to the main house. 6 days after Imam was moved, the village was intruded by masked men who destroyed the house completely and abducted all five housemates in an attempt of move them to the main house via a tunnel.

Rooms/areas in the village include

• A small confession room
• Single bedroom consisting of 6 beds
• A well
• Couches have been replaced with chatayis for comfort on the floor
• A vintage television set which shows live feed from the main luxury house

In the fourth season, the finale had clocked a 6.7 TVR. The fall in the ratings last year had forced the channel to tweak the format a bit and make it more family-oriented. The show averaged 3.3 TVR in the week ended 12 January compared to 2.8 in the trailing week.^[18]
