This season Big Switch will raise the bar making it not only about survival, but survival with a group of friends!
The 4th season of the show will hunt for India?s Toughest Raeeszade as three brat packs who have redefined the term ?rich and spoilt? take a life-changing journey across the toughest terrain of Himachal Pradesh with nothing but a bag of bare essentials. Marking a first, the fourth season will see the brats fight it out along with their friends as "packs" and get their stamp of individuality by showcasing their camaraderie and friendship within the group. This season will focus on the ?Survival of the Brat Pack? by testing their physical, mental, emotional ability of the contestants

The season will be hosted by television actor Gaurav Chopraa who will take on the mantle of ?Big Brother? in the show to encourage and lead the contestants. Coming from an affluent background himself, Chopraa knows a thing or two about toughing it out in the ?real? world.

Therefore I identify with these 12 contestants are and I see myself in them.
