Bigg Boss 3 beat the first-episode ratings of Shah Rukh Khan's Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? (TRP of 4) aired last year and Kaun Banega Crorepati-2 (TRP of 5.8) in 2007.

The reality show also overshadowed the opening TRP of reality shows like Raakhi Ka Swayamvar (TRP of 3.7), Aap Ki Kachehri anchored by ex-policewoman Kiran Bedi for the second season (TRP of 3.4) and Akshay Kumar-anchored reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi-2, was at 3.

aMap says the ratings of Bigg Boss 3 are double than those of Bigg Boss 2 when actor Shilpa Shetty was the anchor, or Bigg Boss 1, which aired on Sony three years ago.

Bigg Boss 3 was watched by nearly 11 million viewers, almost double of Bigg Boss 2, the viewership data has revealed.
