Bigg Boss 19: What impact will Paras Kalnawat's entry have on the longest season with new twists & hosts; here's what we know so far
Finalizing contestants and extended runtime
Currently, very few contestants have been finalized for Bigg Boss 19, with makers continuing talks with several celebrities. Paras Kalnawat has not officially confirmed his participation yet, but insiders suggest his entry is imminent. Unlike previous seasons that lasted three months, this season will run for five months. The makers are keen to keep the audience engaged for a longer duration, adding more twists and turns to the show.
New hosts and changing theme
In a significant departure from tradition, this season will feature three hosts instead of one or two, a move likely to bring diverse energy to the show. While the theme at the start of the season will focus on politics, it will later shift to artificial intelligence (AI), marking a unique concept not explored before in Bigg Boss history. This thematic shift aims to keep the content fresh and appealing.
