The wait is almost over. Bigg Boss 19 is not only coming soon; it’s going to be bigger, longer, and louder than ever. This time, it’s not only about Salman Khan. The show is getting three new hosts, revamping its format, and becoming a full-on OTT-first entertainment storm. The wait is almost over. Bigg Boss 19 is not only coming soon; it’s going to be bigger, longer, and louder than ever. This time, it’s not only about Salman Khan. The show is getting three new hosts, revamping its format, and becoming a full-on OTT-first entertainment storm.
But the biggest news about Bigg Boss 19? It will go for five full months, or 150 days, which is longer than any other season in the franchise’s history.
Salman Khan won’t be hosting by himself due to this longer schedule. It is said that his hosting contract is for the first 7 to 12 weeks, or roughly 2 to 3 months. After that, two additional hosts will take over. Karan Johar and Farah Khan are the most likely candidates, but Anil Kapoor’s name was also brought up earlier. Anil might not be able to make it this season because he has other things to do.
Salman will be back for the grand finale, just like last time, even though the show will have different hosts in the middle of the season. The people who produced the show know exactly how to build the excitement, and Salman will be used to doing that in the first few weeks. The second part of the show, which has co-hosts, will start after people are hooked.
And there’s another twist—Bigg Boss 19 will adopt a digital-first strategy for the first time. JioCinema will air the show 1.5 hours earlier than TV. If you stream on your phone or have a JioCinema membership, you’ll be the first to see all the battles, tasks, and drama. Colors TV will show the same episode later, as usual, over the weekend.

Now, about the contestants: auditions are over, contracts are being signed, and the first list is making the rounds in the gossip world. There will be about 15 original contestants on the show, and as the season goes on, there will be 3 to 5 wildcard entries. Some of the names that are going around include:
- Mamta Kulkarni (if true, this is her biggest comeback ever)
- Tanushree Dutta
- Sharad Malhotra
- Dheeraj Kapoor
- Apoorva Mukhija
There’s also a wild rumor that ‘Habubu,’ a hijab-wearing AI robot doll from the UAE, could be entering the house. If it happens, this will be the first non-human contestant in Bigg Boss history—and the biggest wildcard twist the show has ever seen. The creators are also bringing back the Secret Room, and there are significant rumors that this season might not have contestants vote to eliminate each other. Instead, a new way of doing things will be added to keep things interesting and keep the audience inquisitive.
Bigg Boss 19 is going to be a big deal. The program is already crazy with excitement, and it hasn’t even started yet. It boasts multiple hosts, the longest runtime, an OTT-first release, and a bold cast of contestants. There will be official announcements soon, but the inside scoop is clear: this season is not just another Bigg Boss; it’s a whole new show.
