Salman Khan's Bigg Boss has explored diverse concepts each year with unique themes, from Season 10’s landmark inclusion of commoners to Season 19’s parliament-inspired "demo-crazy" twist with AI integration.
Bigg Boss 19 The current season is centred around a demo-crazy theme, giving the competitors and possibly the viewers more sway over nominations and evictions. The design of the residence is inspired by the parliament. An AI-influenced theme will also be incorporated to suggest reports.

Bigg Boss 18 This season centred around the theme of ‘Time Ka Tandav’. The season added a gimmick where Bigg Boss, as the supreme authority, appeared to be able to foretell the players' futures, generating tension and pushing them to challenge or change their fate. There was a time-warped element of prehistoric art and a feeling of claustrophobia; the house itself was constructed to mirror the motif, resembling a timeless cave and fort.

Bigg Boss 17 This season's ‘Dil, Dimaag, Dum’ theme divided the house into three zones according to the traits of the competitors and tested their mental acuity, physical prowess, and emotional fortitude.

Bigg Boss 16 This season's theme was Circus and involved Bigg Boss becoming an active player in the game, orchestrating events like a ringmaster. The Bigg Boss' house was transformed into a dazzling and extravagant circus environment, designed by Omung Kumar and his wife, Vanitha. It featured a vibrant colour scheme, circus-themed elements, and carnival-like lighting throughout.
Bigg Boss 15 The theme for Bigg Boss Season 15 was Sankat in Jungle (Crisis in the Jungle). With competitors first having to live in a jungle house setting before earning their way into the more opulent main house, the major idea was one of survival and adversity.

Bigg Boss 14 This theme was a clear reference to the year's extraordinary events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns that followed. The goal was to create a season in which roommates, like the entire public during the lockdown, yearned for a return to ordinary amenities and normalcy. To give applicants a taste of these luxuries, the futuristic-themed house featured unique areas like a BB Spa, BB Mall, and even a BB Theatre. However, these amenities were not easily accessible and had to be obtained by completing assignments or in other ways.

Bigg Boss 13 The Bigg Boss Museum concept for Bigg Boss Season 13 was designed to provide the housemates a lively and eccentric setting. Bigg Boss 13 Tedha was another tagline for the season, implying a corrupt attitude to the game.

Bigg Boss 12 Contestants entered the house in pairs, including spouses, siblings, friends, and others, and the theme for this season was Vichitra Jodis. The theme eventually created a Jodi vs Singles dynamic within the house, with some housemates playing alone and others sticking with their partners, despite the initial emphasis on the couples. The original partnered system was broken when Bigg Boss said that the housemates would have to fight their own fights alone.
Bigg Boss 11 A distinct padosi house on the Bigg Boss grounds added a variation to the show of season 11. Throughout the season, the primary housemates were required to spy on the padosis and report back to Bigg Boss on what they saw. The greatest number of secret leakers would benefit and be rewarded. Dating the padosis was another intriguing twist, as couples who were successful were rewarded and those who weren't punished.

Bigg Boss 10 Bigg Boss season 10 introduced a groundbreaking theme centred around India Isse Apna Hi Ghar Samjho. This signified a major change for the show, as it was the first season where commoners (Indiawale) entered the house alongside celebrity contestants.
