The 15th season of Bigg Boss was slated to end earlier this month but was extended by two weeks by the channel. Host Salman had announced this during the show. While the producers did not elaborate on the reason for the extension, many reports claimed it was done as it was difficult to start another show given the rising Covid cases in Mumbai. Hence, the channel decided to extend Bigg Boss where the contestants are locked in a house, away from any chance of infection and wait for conditions to improve before ending it so that a new show can take its slot.
