"It was not easy for us to redesign the 'Bigg Boss' house at a time when everything was shut due to lockdown. There was a limited number of laborers available. Most of them had gone to their villages. The shops were closed. Online delivery was not functioning. We could not import anything from abroad", Omung recalled while interacting with IANS.

"Luckily, some shopkeepers agreed and specially opened their stores for us, as we had to purchase in bulk. Workers had to wear masks all the time. It was challenging, but we pulled it off. Ab hum keh sakte hai jab koi kaam nahi kar raha tha, hum kar rahe the (we can now claim that when no one was working, we were)", he added.

It took Omung and team 45 to 50 days to redesign the house, which has a futuristic theme this season. This year, there is a mall, a spa, and a theater inside the house for which the contestants will have to do the task or something different to take advantage of it.

The veteran Bollywood production designer, who has also tried his hand at directing films, spoke that the "Bigg Boss" is like his own house and It irritates him a lot when the housemates (contestants) don't take proper care of it or damage property.
