Karan Johar's Bigg Boss OTT Launch Live Update: Meet all the 13 contestants of the reality show

Promising over the top drama, craziness and fun, Karan Johar finally launched Bigg Boss OTT on Voot and Voot Select today. The grand premiere took place today and the filmmaker introduced the contestants of the show. For 6 weeks, they will be competing against each other. The top contestants of Bigg Boss OTT, the first digital edition of the reality show, will get a chance to enter Bigg Boss 15, which will be hosted by Salman Khan on Colors. 

As far as the promo goes, it appears that Bigg Boss OTT will have no harsh rules and regulations. In fact, making it more audience-friendly, the makers have gone for an interactive format.

Giving it a bohemian touch, the filmmaker added bunk beds and many more interesting elements.
