Season Information

Bigg Boss Bangla Season 3 premiered on 30 August 2026, bringing the Bengali edition back after a gap of around ten years. Sourav Ganguly hosts the comeback season, with Star Jalsha carrying the television broadcast and JioHotstar providing digital streaming.

The grand premiere introduced 15 launch-night housemates from Bengali television, cinema, music, sport, digital media and other public-facing fields. The season uses the “Durgo Joy Shohoj Noy” proposition and a Bengal-inspired house with regional visual references.

The opening week quickly moved into gameplay. Bharat Kaul became the first captain, while the Dugout mechanism created an early vulnerable zone and shaped the first nomination phase.

Anindya Sengupta became the first contestant to leave the house during the opening Dadar Darbar weekend. Rajveer Dey then entered as the first wildcard, taking the season to 16 unique entrants overall while the competition remained live.

Rule violations trigger a mass nomination punishment

⚠️ Mass Nomination Punishment

Repeated daytime sleeping, cleanliness issues and continued use of English despite warnings led Bigg Boss to nominate almost the entire house as punishment. Captain Sohini and new wildcard Jeetu were exempt before a save process reduced the final danger zone.

DAY 20
19 SEP 2026

Alexandra Taylor is evicted during Dadar Darbar

🚪 Public-Vote Eviction

Alexandra Taylor became the Week 3 public-vote eviction during the Saturday weekend episode. She left after spending twenty days in the house, while the remaining nominated contestants moved into the Sunday result episode.

🎙️DAY 21
20 SEP 2026

Sunday closes Week 3 under a double-eviction warning

🎙️ Weekend Result

The Sunday episode was promoted around a possible second elimination after Alexandra's Saturday exit. Reliable completed-result sources available at this cutoff confirm Alexandra's eviction but do not consistently confirm a second completed exit, so no additional contestant is marked evicted in this locked history.

🗳️DAY 23
WEEK 4

Failed ranking task puts twelve housemates into the Week 4 eviction race

🗳️ Week 4 Nominations

The Week 4 nomination process asked the active housemates to rank themselves from first to twelfth according to their performance. The group failed to reach a final agreement, with the top position becoming a major point of dispute, so Bigg Boss cancelled the ranking process and placed every active housemate except captain Sonamoni Saha into the Week 4 eviction vote.
