Eye Logo
The season had a realistic eye logo having hell and heaven in the background. The eye featured eyelashes made of fire, red iris and black pupil having white veins in reddish sclera.
House
The contestants were initially divided into two separate sections of the house, one called "Heaven" and the other "Hell." The "Heaven" side of the house included the pool and considerably more luxuries, while residents of the "Hell" side lacked running water and a kitchen of their own. Inmates in "Hell" were forced to rely on the housemates in the "Heaven" side for food and to use a tap outdoors for water. This was revealed to the housemates on launch night, and entrants Tanishaa and Andy were tasked with dividing them into households.[6]
As long as the division lasted, inmates were not permitted to cross the boundaries or, except for food, share items between the two sides. On the 31st day, the "Hell" facility was demolished and all remaining contestants moved to "Heaven."
Broadcast
The series was first broadcast in India on network Colors beginning 15 September 2013.[7] The series was also broadcast in Pakistan on ARY Digital beginning 21 September 2013[8] and in the United Kingdom on Colors UK on 15 September 2013.[9]

Housemates allotment
- ^ All the house specifications were given by the first two entrants (Andy & Tanishaa) as per the order of Bigg Boss, and the decision for allotment of Tanishaa and Andy was opposite to the second last entrants to their allotment, according to Bigg Boss orders.
- ^ Bigg Boss asked the heaven housemates to choose from among them a housemate who is, according to them, ineligible to live on the heaven side. The housemate with the maximum votes is made to swap places with a decided housemate from the hell side inmates. Gauahar, receiving the majority votes, was made to switch sides with Armaan.
- ^ Housemates decided by mutual consensus the names of the two housemates, from both sides, they would like to move. Hell housemates chose Gauahar and Kushal and heaven housemates Andy and Sangram.
- ^ Bigg Boss asked housemates from both sides to decide by mutual consensus the name of one best and worst performer from their side. All inmates except the worst performer, from hell, and the best performer, from heaven, were made to switch sides. All housemates except Shilpa and Elli switched sides.
- ^ Bigg Boss asked Kamya, being the house captain and immune from house-side switch, to name one housemate from heaven who had the greatest contribution in the luxury budget task. Simultaneously Armaan was to name two hell housemates who contributed the least in the task. Kamya chose Andy and Armaan himself and Kushal. All housemates except the names ones were to swap sides. However, during the swap ceremony Bigg Boss asked each switching hell housemate to swap positions with one heaven inmate. Pratyusha, after not being chosen by any hell-mate was spared the switch. Later, using the wishing wall, Kamya, Pratyusha and Tanishaa wished for Armaan to be transferred to heaven. Bigg Boss fulfilling the wish asked these three to name one housemate to swap Armaan with. They chose Andy.
- ^ All hell mates were shifted to the heaven side as the hell was completely destroyed. Bigg Boss also announced that the heaven side was the "Bigg Boss House" now.
- ^ Two new contestants (Ajaz & Candy) entered the Bigg Boss Caravan.[59]
- ^ Ajaz and Candy were first shifted to the Main House. Later, Andy was moved to the Bigg Boss Caravan as he was earlier selected by the captain (Kushal) for discussing and plotting nominations (12, 13) which was a violation of Bigg Boss rule. New contestant Sofia also entered the Caravan.
