House themes
On launch night, Bigg Boss announced that seven of the housemates will be moved to Heaven and the remaining shall stay in Hell. The responsibility to decide which housemate goes to which area was given to the first two entrants Tanisha and Andy by Bigg Boss.
Heaven
The heaven side of the house has a pool and a beach like feel and also has a portion that has a dome like ceiling designed to look like a skyline filled with clouds. The walls of the house are not only colorful but also have words like ‘crazy’ written on it with much flair. It also has a quote written on a wall that is the highlight of the living area. The house also includes a wash basin with a cycle. For the first time in the history of Bigg Boss, the house has a clock in the living room.
Hell
The hell side of the house has beds arranged on the floor but not much of a comfort to any of the contestants. The house is separated by a fence. There is one gate which is connected to the heaven side. Food is a big concern for the contestants as participants in this area do not have a kitchen. As per an announcement by bigg boss all the food is prepared by heaven living mates for themselves and for hell living mates. Also there is no demarcation between the bedroom and living area and will give the house a dormitory kind of a look. The toilets inside the hell half have only Indian style sitting and the water is to be filled manually and used for all daily chores from a tap planted outside.
Circumspection between Houses
According to the concept of Heaven and Hell, and the boundary between two houses, Bigg Boss orders some strictures among inmates of both houses. With these orders, Inmates are unable to cross the boundary of each other places without the permission of Bigg Boss, No one can give anything from heaven side to hell or vice versa in any condition, but, they can share only food which is the basic necessity of both inmates and as hellmates have no kitchen and all the responsibility of food is of heavenmates.
Elimination of Heaven and Hell:Bigg Boss House
On the 31st night of the season,several men all covered in black and hiding their faces entered the hell side and started destroying it.The used hammers to break glass,set things on fire and also started cutting down the bars dividing the house. They instructed hell-mates to pack up their stuff and were led into the heaven side via a roof chamber. The whole hell side was covered with painting that night,it was later announced by Bigg Boss in the morning that there was no Hell and Heaven side from now on and it was just the House of Bigg Boss.
Bigg Boss Warden
For the first time in the history of Bigg Boss has an assistance of warden, called Bigg Boss Warden who will take the charge of keeping a close eye on the inmates. She has a responsibility for making inmates wake up on time, keep an eye on inmates tasks and their actions. It is the only new element that is common for both the houses.

Bigg Boss also arranged a court in the house later where each member could accuse another from opposite side had they felt something went unfair.
