Bigg Boss 19 is all set to hit screens on August 24, with Salman Khan returning as host for the 16th time. This season will stream first on JioCinema before airing on television. A total of 15 contestants will initially enter the house, with 3 wild card entries expected later, bringing the total to 18. The show is expected to be longer than usual, with reports suggesting a five-month runtime.
The format also brings a fresh twist politics. Contestants will form parties and elect their leaders via in-house voting, who will then become the house captains.
Mike Tyson and Possibly The Undertaker to Make Appearances
In a surprising crossover between sports and reality TV, boxing legend Mike Tyson is reportedly in talks to enter the Bigg Boss house. According to sources like Biggboss.tazakhabar, Tyson could make a short appearance, staying for about 7 to 10 days, likely in October. Known for his dominance as the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, Tyson’s entry could generate massive international buzz.
Format Shakeup and Longest Season Yet
This season promises to be unlike any other, not just in star power but in structure. With a political theme, housemates will be divided into groups or “parties” and vote to choose their captains, shifting power dynamics weekly. The show’s duration expected to stretch across five months—will make it one of the longest Bigg Boss seasons ever.
Adding to the buzz, reports also suggest WWE icon The Undertaker may appear for a brief stint in November, though official confirmation is pending. Talks are ongoing, and if successful, it would further elevate the show’s global appeal.
Confirmed and Rumored Contestants Raise the Heat
The contestant lineup includes a mix of influencers, TV stars, and social media personalities. Confirmed names include Gaurav Khanna (Anuj from Anupamaa), Ashnoor Kaur, and Awez Darbar. Rumored participants include Nagma Mirajkar, Shafaq Naaz, and Arbaz Patel, boyfriend of former Bigg Boss contestant Nikki Tamboli.
With high-profile guests, bold themes, and fierce personalities, Bigg Boss 19 is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling seasons yet.
