Adding to the excitement, the makers recently released the official trailer for the upcoming season. The promo revealed a Parliament-themed Bigg Boss house, with the tagline “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar” (The Housemates’ Government). This season promises to be different from the rest, as for the first time, housemates will be given the power to make important decisions inside the house.

The concept will turn the Bigg Boss house into a battleground of public opinion, where each decision could have direct and unfiltered consequences. This change is expected to create intense drama, heated debates, and shifting alliances among the contestants.

Over the years, Bigg Boss has delivered high-voltage entertainment with its mix of controversies, emotional moments, and unexpected twists. With Season 19 introducing a political twist to the game, viewers can expect even more strategy, mind games, and bold moves from the housemates.

While the complete list of contestants is still under wraps, the combination of a unique theme, rumored celebrity line-up, and new game rules has already made Bigg Boss 19 one of the most awaited TV events of the year.
