As a captain, I’ll keep a check on the passenger’s safety and well-being week on week to ensure that their journey is smooth yet not so smooth in this whirlwind voyage.”

Stepping in as the sponsors of the Airline #BB8, e-commerce giant Snapdeal.com’s Kunal Bahl, Co-Founder & CEO said, “The partnership was a strategic decision to reach out to the larger target audience.

Said Manisha Sharma, Chief Creative Engineer of #BB8 on living up to the expectations of the viewers, “The Bigg Boss House is a nation within a nation, with its own language, architecture, mood, and even its own currency—the token that the inmates value even more than the real currency while being trapped. In their quest to traverse the farthest while jostling through the unsettling conditions and without any means to communicate with the outside world, it’s their patience and perseverance that will see them through and help them for a perfect landing.”   

On leasing Bigg Boss Airlines #BB8 for a promising journey, Deepak Dhar, Managing Director – Endemol India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Endemol’s most successful reality format globally, Bigg Boss has won over viewers across age groups.

We hope that this seasons’ numerous surprises, will have everybody glued to their televisions.”
