Bigg Boss 12 kick starts from September 16. Yep! We are just couple of days away from the grand premiere of the nation's most controversial reality show. Needless to say, fans can't wait for host Salman Khan to reveal the lineup of contestants for this year. But looks like we will get to meet some contestants a day before (September 15) this time around as the makers have introduced a totally new concept this season. This season, the voting will begin a day  before Bigg Boss 12 goes on-air. But whom and what will we vote for?

This is where Bigg Boss Outhouse comes into the picture. This is a small house constructed close to the main Bigg Boss house. Some of the contestants, selected by the programming team will perform tasks all day on September 15. And the viewers will get to watch them do these tasks on the Voot app and vote for them. Contestants with the maximum votes will get to go the main house on September 16, while the rest of them will be sent home. Isn't that great? Check out the official announcement video right here:

Who are going to be these contestants who will be in the Bigg Boss Outhouse? Will they be the commoners or the celebrities? How many of them will they be? We will come to know all of that only on September 15 on Voot.

The makers have officially introduced two commoner jodis. Nirmal Singh, a cop and Romil Chaudhary, a lawyer will set foot inside the Bigg Boss house together. Then there is Gangs Of Wasseypur singer Deepak Thakur and his fan, which is the second commoner jodi. As for the celebrities, TV actress Dipika Kakkar, singer Anup Jalota are the confirmed contestants, while former Indian cricketer S Sreesanth, TV actor Shaleen Bhanot, Neha Pendse are rumoured to be on Bigg Boss 12.
