Where to watch Bigg Boss Agnipariksha?

On JioHotstar. Every version of the Bigg Boss commoner-selection pre-show streams there, whatever the language. For the Telugu show most people searching this mean: Agnipariksha Season 2 has been on air since 15 August 2026 on Star Maa — 10 pm every day — and streams on JioHotstar daily at 12 am. Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam now have their own editions, each on its own TV channel, all streaming on the same app. The details, language by language.

Bigg Boss Telugu Agnipariksha: Star Maa and JioHotstar

The original. Agnipariksha is the pre-show that selects commoner contestants for the Bigg Boss Telugu house, and Season 2 runs ahead of Bigg Boss Telugu 10. Star Maa announced the date in its own promo, so the schedule is the channel’s, not a guess:

Season 1 ran in August–September 2025, and six of its commoners walked into the Season 9 house on launch night — one of them, Kalyan Padala, won the season. How this year’s selection works, what’s confirmed about it and our audience poll are on the Agnipariksha Bigg Boss voting guide, and every official spot the channels have posted is on Agnipariksha promos today.

Kannada: Bigg Boss Agniparikshe on Colors Kannada

Note the spelling — the Kannada edition is written Agniparikshe. TV trackers report it starting 16 August 2026 on Colors Kannada, streaming on JioHotstar, selecting commoners for Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12. Colors Kannada hasn’t published full episode timings that we can verify yet, so treat the date as reported until the channel’s own schedule is out.

Tamil: Bigg Boss – The Common Man on Star Vijay

The Tamil edition dropped the Agnipariksha name entirely — it’s called Bigg Boss – The Common Man, and it’s openly based on the Telugu format. It premieres 16 August 2026 on Star Vijay and streams on JioHotstar, with selected commoners going into the Bigg Boss Tamil Season 10 house. Vijay Sethupathi announced the commoner-audition route in the channel’s teaser on 1 June 2026.

Malayalam: Bigg Boss Agnipareeksha on Asianet

Spelled Agnipareeksha here. TV trackers report the Malayalam edition starting 15 August 2026 on Asianet, streaming on JioHotstar, as the commoner route into Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8. As with the Kannada edition, the start date is reported rather than channel-published, so it may move.

The one-line answer, whatever your language

One streamer, four channels. JioHotstar carries every edition; on TV it’s Star Maa (Telugu), Colors Kannada, Star Vijay (Tamil) or Asianet (Malayalam). The spelling shifts with the language — Agnipariksha, Agniparikshe, Agnipareeksha — so search your own language’s version if the app’s search comes up empty. And whichever edition you watch, a face in its promos is a face in promos: no channel has published a contestant list yet. For the Telugu edition, the top 15 from our own sources — first on record there — are on the Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting results page, and once its winners enter the house, the weekly Bigg Boss Telugu voting decides how long they stay.
