Commoners Enter Bigg Boss Kannada 13 Through Agnipariksha

Instead of receiving a direct entry, participants had to go through a series of tasks and challenges.
The process began with 15 finalists which were eventually narrowed down to 10 contestants. The selected participants then faced their final task on the Bigg Boss Kannada 13 stage to secure their entry into the house.
