What is it all about?
It features eight super rich youngsters who enjoy their lives on their father’s money-Daddy Ka Paisa . Their day starts late, they just chill out, shop a lot and just party!. Running a shopping bill of Rs 55,000 on a single day is nothing for them! Everything about them screams: excessive, self-centered. They lack consideration for other people (including their parents), have temper tantrums, want to have their own way. The theme of Big Switch 3 – Life without Daddy Ka Paisa is have these brats survive for 20 days without their father’s money. For promos of the show you can check out
Their parents have sent them to the show to learn the value of money and time. But these kids also have a condition. If they win the show then their parents would have to meet their big demand which as you guess runs into lakh of rupees.
This show is hosted by Natasha Suri and is judged by Rohit Shetty, director of Golmaal series and Singham. He has been part of Comedy Circus aired on Sony.
He is called as Godfather of the show. There are just two rules in the show – Rohit Shetty makes the rules and contestants follow them. As he says “Ma kasam mein aapko kodi kodi ka bhav sikha kar hi rahoonga” (I shall make you learn the value of money). You can also catch Natasha Suri and director Rohit Shetty discuss the trials and tribulations of being a part of Big Switch 3- Life Without Daddy Ka Paisa on screenindia

Earlier seasons of Big Switch
The first season , called Big Switch: Life Badal Jayegi, started in Dec 2009, was hosted by actress Genelia Dsouza and was inspired by the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Contestants were rich spoilt youngsters. They were plucked from their lavish lifestyles, had to give up their most valued possessions – phones and money and were dropped into the confines of a Mumbai slum. The rich participants were paired with a slum buddy. Each week the super rich contestants had to perform a unique task such as:polish shoes at Lokhandwala, wash a certain number of clothes at Dhobhi Ghat, work as street seller selling items such as – Fruit Chaat, Ice cream. The weakest team left the show every week. First episode of Big Switch on YouTube, overview of show at tvserialsandshows.
Big Switch Season 1: Dec 2009
The second season, called Big Switch-2: Family Badal Jayegi was hosted by Gaurav Kapoor, started in Nov 2010. It saw the parents and children switch their family for 48 hours. First episode was about Firoz Khan from Dehra Dun, who had a don’t care attitude towards life and parents, wanted to live his life for the moment, fond of long hair, piercings tattoos, alcohol and cigarettes. He had to live with Rajiv Mishra and Sunita Mishra who were extremely strict and bossy. Firoz’s parents had to deal with transgender for a child! First episode at Youtube
Big Switch Season 2: Nov 2010
Aren’t we raising brats at home?
When I watched the TV show I was happy to see these brats living without their Daddy’s money. Ab roti daal ka bhav pata chalege? (Now they will know the cost of Food etc). I clapped whenever Rohit says “Maa Kasama..mein kodi ka bhav sikh kar rahonga” These kids need to learn the lesson. While working on the post I happened to visit a mall with my children (Bangalore Central). What I noticed was these children, pre-teens,teens are all dressed up in the brands like Reebok, Nike, Liliput. Some of the teens had latest mobiles, gadgets like PlayStation and were loaded with shopping bags. I saw a child around 5 -6 years throwing tantrum at the checkout counter. His mother tried various reasons -they have similar toy at home, it’s useless buying it, money doesn’t grow on trees, but that kid just refused to listen. Kids and Money Conversations and Kids and money slide show at business today shows how kids from ages 2+ take money for granted considering parents as Any Time Money.It makes me wonder “What does money mean?”.
Who will be the winner of Big Switch 3?
Note: Anjusha was eliminated on 29th Jan, Heena and Rohit Bajaj on 5th Feb. No elimination on 12th Feb. Sahil was eliminated on 19th Feb.

Thanks Vikas. Big Switch was awesome and Faizan was deserving winner. Every one has their own way to charm and I am sure yours would be as unique as you are.
hey…my name is Vikas Sangwan.

Thanks Debajoy. The show is awesome – it teaches not only the contestants but also the audience. One of the best reality shows. Rohit Shetty rocks – the way he handles those superbrats was great!
i really loved this concept of teachin d teenagers lyk me the value of money…i myself after wtchin dis realised d value of PARENTS & MONEY ….a thumps up to dis show
Aishwarya, yes the show rocks. It is one of the best reality shows which is making a difference in life of the contestants and teaching audience at the same time!
Tat kid faizan’s a winner bro! I mean, look at his attitude, like my fav thing is cigarette! Then, ‘i don’t take orders, i give them’. Damn man, and his demand, mind blowing BLANK CHEQUE! He’s got like real attitude man, like if he channelise them in the right direction, he’d achieve greatness in his life as well!
Agree with you totally. As you rightly pointed out he has guts(asking for blank cheque), charm(Swapna fell for him and Heena wanted him) and whenever he controls his anger and channelizes his energy he comes out with flying colors. Now he has realized the importance of his family-when Rohit asked him to lower his eyes(episode of 12 Feb) and he does -one could see how much he has grown!
Lot many people agree with you Shubham and want Faizan to win. He has learnt how to control his anger which is a great win and miss his family which is a great win in itself. Just be careful Shubham as Faizan said he is one woman man and Swapna is right there with him!
Thanks for sharing your feelings Shubham!
hey…my nam is rishab(RD). nd i m from delhi i love big switch3 nd i luv to see faizan in dis shw i m vry happy dat dis time hez safe by doing hardwork in his job i just want to meet him 1nce nd ask him dat hw he charm girls in a minute.nd i wish him best of luck i wll meet u soon faizan so dont forget my name……….!!
Yes Rishab, Faizan is such a charmer but what I liked is that he doesn’t flirt much – he says he is one woman man!
If he keeps his cool(like when he was perfume bottle in mall-3 episode or the one in which he had to drive -7th episode) he comes out as winner.
Rohit Bajaj is a typical super rich brat , with less control on his anger but good at heart-most of them wanted him to stay. He has shown a great improvement in Big Switch 3. Sushant-hmm he seems to be sensible and smart. The person who is going to win will be one who keeps his/her cool in place.
hi m debbie from delhi n watch big switch every week wth great enthusiasm….ma fav contastant is sapana…she is sophsticated,very emotional like me,n gal wth a lovely heart… i want her her to win the show.thupbs up sapana;)
Thanks Debbie for commenting. We appreciate your enthusaism for show. Even I am hooked on to show. Hope you are learning from the show.
Sapana – she comes across as arrogant and too sure of herself. Her love affair with Faizan has also made many dislike her. May the best man or woman win the show!
i think everybody’s attitude in the show has changed, rather improved now. i can feel that improvement. moreover, i have earned a lot.really, a commendable show!!!
hey…my name is kiran.
and im from nepal…..i love big switch 3..nd i love sahil in this show. im very happy that this time he got the green band..by doing workhard in his job. i just want to meet me.so plz can u arrange his number…..in case if i cant meet him. but i can talk with him once.
Yes you are absolutely right Rovina. I am hooked on to the show. Those kids are learning as seen in episode of Jan 22 :Heena, Rohit, Sahil seem to realized the importance of their family. It is a great learning experience for the viewers also -how we take those people in parlous, spa, mall, resturant for granted.
Sahil has realized the importance and has changed (he wrote in his letter to his parents-,12 feb, he is getting up at 8:00 a.m, will work with his father). He has been putting his best efforts (washing laundry in 5 star hotel or dressing up the mannequin. So in a way he is a winner already. But reason why people are not voting from him maybe because in comparison to Faizan he does not come across as charming or cool.
As Rohit Shetty says “Game kabhi bhi palat sakta hai” so the game is wide open and the one who keeps his/her cool and gives the best should be the winner.
You don’t own a TV ! That’s a rare thing these days. Wonder how your kids manage?

If he keeps his cool(like when he was perfume bottle in mall-3 episode or the one in which he had to drive -7th episode) he comes out as winner.
I like attitude of Rohit Bajaj, but I strongly think that Sushant has a great chance of winning the show.
Rohit Bajaj is a typical super rich brat , with less control on his anger but good at heart-most of them wanted him to stay. He has shown a great improvement in Big Switch 3. Sushant-hmm he seems to be sensible and smart. The person who is going to win will be one who keeps his/her cool in place.

He has been putting his best efforts (washing laundry in 5 star hotel or dressing up the mannequin. So in a way he is a winner already.
