Traditionally launched in October, Bigg Boss 19 is breaking the mould by arriving earlier this year. The grand premiere will take place on August 24, 2025.

The theme of this edition has been officially revealed as "Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar," a concept that transforms the Bigg Boss house into a symbolic parliament. Contestants will wield collective power, navigating debates, votes, and shifting alliances, making every decision politically charged and dramatically consequential. An Assembly Room has been added to the house design, setting the stage for fiery discussions and strategic manoeuvres.
Salman Khan himself hinted at the intensity, remarking that when too many people pull the strings, chaos is inevitable; and that’s exactly what makes this season irresistible.

This season is set to be the longest ever, spanning five months of relentless drama. The addition of AI-driven contestants, the revival of the Secret Room, and interactive elements such as “Fans Ka Faisla”, which allows audiences to influence entries and nominations, make it stand out from the past formats.
With Salman Khan at the helm for the opening stretch, followed by guest hosts before his grand finale return, Bigg Boss 19 set to be the season where democracy meets drama under the nation’s watchful eye.
