The wait is finally over! Bigg Boss 19, India’s most popular reality show, returned with a grand premiere on August 24, 2025, hosted once again by Salman Khan. As always, the season kicked off with glamour, drama, and plenty of surprises. From television stars and Bollywood personalities to social media influencers and international names, the contestant lineup promises a rollercoaster of entertainment.
Theme of the Season – “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar”
This year, the makers introduced a fresh and bold concept titled “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar”. For the first time, the house is divided into a Ruling Party and an Opposition, bringing a political twist to the game. Each week, housemates will elect a leader who gets to enjoy special powers and privileges, while others strategize to grab control. With tasks designed around power, politics, and shifting loyalties, viewers can expect constant drama and heated debates inside the house.
The Bigg Boss 19 House
Designed by ace art director Omung Kumar, the new house reflects a rustic-yet-regal vibe with powerful animal motifs like lions and birds with antlers. Adding to the excitement, a special “Assembly Room” has been introduced, where housemates will face off in debates and power struggles – perfectly aligning with the political theme of the season.
