Bigg Boss: Heres list of all winners of OTT version of controversial reality show
From social media influencers to actors, many celebrities have participated in Bigg Boss OTT over the past couple of years. And, just like the television version of the reality show, the digital edition has also been receiving immense love from audiences.
New Delhi: In this era of digital streaming, films and series are increasingly transitioning from traditional television to OTT platforms. Keeping up with this shift are popular shows that have been winning the hearts of viewers for years. A prime example of the same is Bigg Boss.
The controversial reality show is not only broadcast on television but also airs on OTT at the same time. In fact, audiences are encouraged to stream it online, as the digital platform allows them to participate in voting. And it wouldn't be wrong to say that people have embraced this trend quite well.
Taking this a step further, the makers, a few years back, launched an OTT-exclusive version of Bigg Boss that is not available on television. The spin-off of the Hindi version of Bigg Boss has been garnering immense appreciation from audiences and, as a result, it has already concluded three seasons. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 19 is set to premiere on August 24.
