The much-awaited reality show Bigg Boss 19 is all set to begin on August 24, 2025, with Salman Khan once again returning as the host. This year’s theme is “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar (The Housemates’ Government),” where contestants will be divided into two sides — a ruling party and an opposition.
The season will bring political-style debates, power struggles, wildcards, and a mix of TV stars, social media influencers, and entertainers. Fans will also get to pick one contestant through a special live voting poll before the show starts.
What’s New in Bigg Boss 19?
This season will have a political twist. Contestants will be split into two groups: Ruling Party and Opposition. They will confront activities including arguments, decision-making, and “power shift” issues. Every decision in the home will affect alliances, friendships, and who stays in power — making the game more interesting and unpredictable.
