Bigg Boss 15, also known as Bigg Boss: "Sankat in Jungle" was the fifteenth season of the Indian reality TV series Bigg Boss. It premiered on 2 October 2021 on Colors TV. Salman Khan hosted the season for the twelve time. The grand finale aired on 30 January 2022 where Tejasswi Prakash emerged as the winner while Pratik Sehajpal as the runner-up.

The first teaser was released on 22 August 2021, in which Salman Khan is a forest officer talking to a wishful talking tree named Vishwasuntree in which veteran actress Rekha gave her voice. On the grand finale of Bigg Boss OTT, another promo was released revealing the date of the premiere .

This theme of the season was "Sankat in Jungle". The eye this time was covered with green grass and shows a tree in the pupil of the eye with flames coming from the centre of the eye.

The house this time had a "Jungle Theme" and was located in Goregaon for the third time. The house was divided into 2 parts, Jungle House and Main House. On Day 21, Jungle House was closed.

The housemates who will survive the jungle will enter the main luxurious house.
