The wait is over — Bigg Boss 19 has thrown open its doors, and the grand premiere on JioHotstar has already set the stage for 105 days of drama, alliances, and jaw‑dropping twists.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is back at the helm, welcoming a brand‑new batch of housemates. This year comes with a major shake‑up: a digital‑first release, with each episode streaming online before it hits TV.
The theme, “Gharwalon Ki Sarkar”, hands more power to the contestants themselves — but you can bet Bigg Boss will still step in to stir the pot when it matters most.
And with a line‑up featuring everyone from TV favourites to viral influencers, the season is already buzzing.
