Bigg Boss 19 marks the return of India’s most watched and debated reality show, hosted by Salman Khan. The season premiered on 24 August 2025, introducing a fresh theme – “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar”, where politics, power struggles, and people’s choices rule the house.
This season continues the show’s legacy of drama, laughter, strategy, heartbreak, and unexpected twists — all under the constant surveillance of 24x7 cameras.
