Shehnaaz Gill's Brother Shehbaz Badesha To Enter Bigg Boss 19? Salman Khan Reveals
Last Updated: The countdown to Bigg Boss 19 has begun. The makers of Salman Khan's controversial reality show have now shared a new promo, sharing an exciting update. The makers of Bigg Boss 19 have empowered viewers with the authority to decide which contestant will enter the house, in line with the season's overarching theme of democracy. On Thursday, JioHotstar shared a new promo of the upcoming season in which Salman Khan announced a new initiative called 'Fans Ka Faisla'. This one-of-a-kind initiative places the power directly in the hands of the audience, transforming them from passive viewers into active participants in shaping the show's course. Two shortlisted contenders will compete for a single spot: Shehbaz Badesha, brother of Bigg Boss alumnus Shehnaaz Gill, and Mridul Tiwari, YouTuber and creator of the widely popular comedy channel The MriDul, with over 18 million subscribers. For the first time ever, a contestant's journey will begin entirely through fan votes, making viewers an integral part of the selection process. Voting for Fans Ka Faisla is now open exclusively on the JioHotstar app and will remain live until 11:59 PM on August 21. The contestant receiving the highest number of votes will be unveiled during the Grand Premiere, where Salman Khan will introduce them in a never-before-seen entry that promises to change the dynamics of the house instantly. Speaking about the unique fan-driven format, Shehbaz Badesha said, 'Last time I came in for a short spin, bas ek chhota sa jhalak dikhaya tha, but this time, main pura season ka tadka ban ke jaaunga. I've been part of Bigg Boss before, but always from the sidelines—either cheering for my sister Shehnaz or visiting as a guest. This time, it's different… this time, it could be MY journey. I'm not just a 'celebrity sibling'; I'm someone who's been underestimated and overlooked. I know the kind of energy I bring, unfiltered, unpredictable, and unapologetically Punjabi. I'm not here to play safe or be everyone's best friend. I'm here to shake things up and give people something to talk about. The best part is that the audience gets to decide if I even step inside. I promise to make this season as entertaining as Shehnaz's season was. If you want someone who won't play it safe, vote Shehbaz." Sharing his excitement about the opportunity, Mridul Tiwari said, 'Bigg Boss isn't just a show—it's a proving ground and I have been ready for this fight for years. I am ready to bring my wit, my game, and an unfiltered version of who I am. I am not someone who blends into the background; rather, I believe in taking a stand, facing challenges head-on, and competing with power. No hiding, no sugar-coating—just real competition. Ultimately, the audience will decide who deserves to stay, and I trust them to recognise authenticity when they see it. I am ready to give my all,- and with a fan powered brotherhood by my side, let's make it happen and win this together." Bigg Boss 19: Official Trailer Out The countdown to Bigg Boss 19 has begun. The makers of Salman Khan's controversial reality show have already unveiled the official trailer of the upcoming season, promising entertainment like never before. Set against the dramatic backdrop of a Parliament-inspired Bigg Boss house, the promo reveals the theme of the show – 'Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar'. For the first time in Bigg Boss history, housemates will have the authority to make decisions big and small, turning the house into a battleground of public sentiment, all with unfiltered consequences. Who Is Participating In Bigg Boss 19? Every year, fans remain glued to their screens on the Bigg Boss premiere date for the final list of contestants. The speculations, however, begin much earlier. Previously, reports claimed that around 45 celebrities have been approached so far. According to the fan page Bigg Boss Taza Khabar, several television personalities and digital influencers are in talks for the season. Some of the names include Rati Pandey (Miley Jab Hum Tum), Hunar Hali, Apoorva Mukhija (aka The Rebel Kid), Mr Faisu, Dhanashree Verma, Sreeram Chandra, Meera Deosthale, and Bhavika Sharma. Reportedly, former Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actors, Shailesh Lodha, Gurucharan Singh and Jennifer Mistry have also been approached for Bigg Boss 19. Rapper Raftaar is also likely to join the show. It was recently reported that Divyanka Tripathi is also likely to join Bigg Boss 19. However, she has already rejected the claims.

"I've Been Mistaken For Rohit Sharma, George Clooney": Ex-India Star's Big Revelation
In a lighthearted conversation, former India pacer Rudra Pratap Singh, who was part of the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning side, revealed he has been mistaken for other well-known personalities, including India ODI captain Rohit Sharma. The 39-year-old, who represented India in 14 Tests, 58 ODIs and 10 T20Is, made the revelation while speaking on JioHotstar special 'Cheeky Singles'. Singh also recalled that a fan once likened him to Hollywood actor George Clooney, sparking a laughing riot in the studio. "I've been mistaken for Rohit Sharma on several occasions, not just once, but many times. And it doesn't stop there. Someone even called me 'George Clooney' once on social media. I told them, 'Now that's too much!'," recalled Singh. Singh took 12 wickets in seven games, as MS Dhoni -led India won the first-ever T20 World Cup in South Africa in September 2007. "We won the T20 World Cup in South Africa, celebrated there, and then landed in Dubai, where a few people congratulated us for lifting the trophy. When we finally landed in Mumbai, we thought we had achieved something special, but the celebration parade was beyond anything I had imagined." "The roads were closed, and people were throwing things, chocolates, and even a small cake that someone tossed towards me saying, 'Please hold it and cut it.' I told them, 'Don't do this, it might fall.' It was raining, yet the crowds' energy was electric, with people celebrating wildly alongside us," he added. He also recounted a memorable moment from a Ranji Trophy match between Karnataka and his state team Uttar Pradesh in Meerut, involving the legendary Rahul Dravid. "There was a Ranji Trophy match going on in Meerut, Karnataka vs Uttar Pradesh. Rahul Dravid bhai had come to play and scored 199 runs. "That night, we went to dinner at someone's house. India's match was going on that day, and Sachin paaji was batting. He was playing a run-a-ball innings. We were both sitting on the side, and people were saying, 'Sachin should play a little faster'. But he was playing according to the situation of the match. Rahul bhai whispered in my ear, 'If they are saying so much to him, then how much would they have said to me?'" he recalled.
