After a ten-year wait, Bigg Boss Bangla finally returned on Sunday — and this time, it’s cricketing legend Sourav Ganguly holding the mic instead of a film star. The grand premiere saw sixteen contestants walk into a specially-built 7,000 sq ft house, packed with references to Bengal’s culture, from the Royal Bengal Tiger to iconic yellow Ambassador taxis.

**Monami Ghosh** opened the show, kicking off the night with a Durga-themed dance tribute ahead of the festive season. A veteran of Bengali television for nearly two decades, she declared she’s ready to play every role the house demands — “Durga, Kali, or Tara Ma.”

**Sohini Pal**, daughter of the late actor Tapas Pal, brought an emotional edge early on, speaking candidly about carrying her father’s legacy despite the controversies that shadowed his life.

**Niranjan Mondal**, the social media sensation known online as “Laughtersane,” entered in traditional dhoti-kurta, calling himself “very childlike” and admitting household chores aren’t his strong suit.

**Dipendu Biswas**, a former national-level footballer who played for East Bengal and Mohun Bagan, brought a sporting pedigree that matched the host’s own — his daughter, he revealed, is more thrilled about the show than he is.

**Srijla Guha**, known for the romantic drama Mon Phagun, opened up about a tough upbringing, revealing she once survived on Rs 30-35 rolls a day after leaving home in her late teens, per her family’s tradition of independence.

**Sayak** stirred an early controversy when Ganguly himself brought up backlash around his food choices, advising him to simply turn off his comment section to avoid online noise.

**Jhilam Gupta**, popularly called “Jhikimiki Tumpa” for her blunt online persona, even got to bowl to Ganguly on stage — a full-circle moment for someone who grew up playing cricket.

**Sonamoni Saha** closed out the entries as the sixteenth and final contestant, confidently declaring her intent to go all the way: “I will make it till the end, and I will take the trophy home with me.”

## Cricket Meets Reality TV

Adding star power to the launch, former India cricketer [Harbhajan Singh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbhajan_Singh) made a surprise appearance, embracing Ganguly on stage and calling him “Bigg Boss for us.” Ganguly, for his part, compared managing the house to his cricketing days: “I will manage everything like I have managed fast bowlers.”
