Background

Bigg Boss 19: The wait is over! Bigg Boss 19 kicks off tonight at 9 pm, streaming first on JioHotstar before airing on Colors TV with a 90-minute delay. This marks the show’s first digital-first rollout, a move set to keep audiences hooked online before its television premiere. Salman Khan, who has been synonymous with the show for 17 consecutive years, is back to host the latest season, which will run for 105 days and feature 17–18 housemates competing under a whole new set of rules.

Contestants to hold power under ‘Gharwalon Ki Sarkar’

This year’s theme, Gharwalon Ki Sarkar, promises a major shake-up in the game dynamics. The contestants will have unprecedented control over the house, while Bigg Boss himself will step back, appearing only to offer “an occasional nudge.” Salman Khan will also be more deeply involved with the housemates this season, adding to the anticipation.

The Bigg Boss house has been transformed into a charming cabin-in-the-woods setting, captured round-the-clock by nearly 100 cameras. In a twist, the infamous jail is missing this year. As the production head put it, “Bigg Boss doesn’t need a jail to punish the contestants.”

Who’s expected to join the house?

Buzz around this year’s lineup is already heating up. Popular names speculated to be part of the show include Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, Amaal Malik, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Dino James, Tanya Mittal, Kunicka Sadanand, Zeishan Quadri, and Natalia Stankoszek. Shebaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari are also in contention, with viewers deciding who makes the final cut through live voting.

Adding to the hype, reports suggest that boxing legend Mike Tyson, WWE icon The Undertaker, and cricketer Shikhar Dhawan are in discussions to enter the house as wild card contestants.

A grand premiere filled with star power

The opening episode, filmed on August 21 and 22, promises high-voltage entertainment. Salman Khan will take the stage in a stylish all-black tuxedo, joined by several ex-contestants for a nostalgic reunion. Actress Sonali Bendre is also set to make a special appearance to promote her latest series Pati, Patni Aur Panga.
