About the show, Season 2:
 Bigg Boss 2 is the second season of the Indian reality TV programme Bigg Boss. It began airing on 21 August 2008 on Colors. Shilpa Shetty replaced Arshad Warsi as host of the show.- Fourteen handpicked housemates entered during the launch and were described as newsmakers rather than celebrities, though the majority of the contestants were associated with Bollywood or Indian TV channels and other realities shows.
- The housemates, considered strangers for each other, spent 98 days or nearly 14 weeks locked out together under one roof under the 24×7 supervision of 32 cameras fitted around the Bigg Boss house at Lonavala, a hill station about 100 km east of Mumbai.
- On the second day of the show, the British guest on exchange in the house, Jade Goody, walked out of the Bigg Boss house due to the revelation that she had developed cancer.
- On Day 30 of the show, an additional entry to the house was made in the form of Diana Hayden, who was the fifteenth contestant of the reality game show.[3] The show topped the rating charts in its last week due to a voluntary exit by a popular housemate, Rahul Mahajan.
- The season lasted for 98 continuous days in total, ending with the finale on 22 November 2008.
 - Ashutosh Kaushik emerged as the winner with an award of Rs. 1 crore. Raja Chaudhary was the runner-up of the show. Rahul Mahajan won the Aveo UVA car as he was selected as the Bada Dilwala of the show.
- Housemates Rahul Mahajan and Sambhavana Sheth returned to compete in Bigg Boss Halla Bol. They became the third and fourth housemates to be evicted, on Day 21 and 24 respectively. Mahahjan again returned as a challenger in Bigg Boss 14.
Shilpa Shetty, the proud winner of Big Brother in UK will now host Big Boss Season 2 premiering August 17th, everyday (Monday to Sunday), at 10:00 p.m. only on COLORS. The gorgeous Diva looked stunning in red as she graced the Red Carpet in Taj Mahal, Mumbai on August 7th.
Shilpa though, had a very bad day on Tuesday as her car had a slight brush with another car when she was on her way to the conference. As and when she was addressing the media, the actress suddenly lost her voice and was unable to talk. However, putting aside all the hurdles, a brave Shilpa took her leave from the conference to offer her puja on Nagpanchami at the Powai temple. But before she left the hall, we got to talk to her on her role in Big Boss Season 2.
“I want all the wishes from you people. It is really going to be a nice experience and I can relate myself with the format as I have already gone thro’ the acid-test”, quips the anchor. “I will be the only link who will interact with the house mates and they will not have any kind of communication whatsoever with the outside world; I am really enthusiastic to host the show”, adds Shilpa. COLORS will be coming up with some unique twists this year wherein ‘newsmakers’ replace ‘celebrities’ in Big Boss Season 2. When asked about the changes implemented for a ‘bigger and better’ show, the Diva quips, “Firstly it will be a daily show. Secondly, there will be half an hour LIVE and unedited slot everyday starting second week that will air from 12.30 a.m midnight.
Recollecting her Big Brother experiences, Shilpa stated, “The show taught me a lot. When I entered, I thought I will be out in the first week, but I stayed on and understood the mindset of every housemate there. I would say, it is a great form of entertainment for the audience, but it is really tough for the participants to stay there without any contact with their own people or with the outside world”. Lastly, she wishes to drive in the point to every contestant to “Be yourself, maintain your composure, go and enjoy!!”
