In many ways, Bigg Boss is the dumpster fire of reality shows — if a roomful of isolated strangers who must be at their competitive worst and (in many ways) throw more than the occasional tantrum to make their presence felt doesn't exactly seem like award-winning prime-time material, that's largely because it isn't. However, there still may be a lot of subconscious lessons that Bigg Boss addicts could take away from the show, currently in its 13th season. "Those familiar with it will soon recognise that it is more of a televised social experiment than a reality show. While the behaviour of many of the contestants is rooted in their public and personal backgrounds, they still behave in ways that are relatable to the common man," explains Dr. Payal Sharma Kamath, a psychiatrist at Rekindle Mind Clinic. It follows, therefore, that viewers can benefit from the life lessons that are played out on their television screens every evening.

Experts share some of the key takeaways from the season thus far.
