‘Let The Drama Begin': Fans On Ram Kapoor And Gautami Kapoor In Bigg Boss 19
Last Updated: Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19 is expected to run for nearly six months. Bigg Boss Season 19 is gearing up for a dramatic return, promising some of the biggest changes in its history. With Salman Khan continuing as the host, fans are brimming with excitement, eager to know every detail from the premiere date to the new format and the anticipated contestant list. This season, the show is taking a bold step forward. Bigg Boss 19 is expected to run for nearly six months, extending well beyond its usual three-month timeline. This makes it the longest season in the show's history. But that's not all, another major shift lies in the casting approach. In contrast to recent seasons that introduced digital influencers and YouTubers, this time the makers are returning to a celebrity-only format. The focus will be on bringing established television and Bollywood personalities into the house. Among the many speculated names, a buzz that has caught everyone's attention is the entry of the power couple—Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor. According to an Instagram post by TellyChakkar, the couple who have successful careers in both television and Bollywood, have reportedly been approached for Bigg Boss 19. However, no official confirmation has been made yet. The post features a picture of the couple with the caption: 'According to sources, Ram Kapoor and his wife Gautami Kapoor have been approached to participate in the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 19." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tellychakkar Official ® (@tellychakkar) As expected, the internet couldn't keep calm. Fans flooded the comments section with a mix of reactions. One user wrote, 'Ram & Gautami on Bigg Boss 19? Now this is the power couple we didn't know we needed. Let the drama begin!" Another urged, 'Please don't touch this happily married couple. God, leave them!" It remains to be seen whether the couple will accept the invitation and step into the most unpredictable house on Indian television. If they do, audiences will be eager to watch how their real-life bond plays out amid the chaos and drama that Bigg Boss is known for. For those unfamiliar with their story, Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor tied the knot on Valentine's Day in 2003. Their love story began on the sets of Ghar Ek Mandir, where their on-screen chemistry gradually blossomed into an off-screen relationship. As fate would have it, the show titled Ghar Ek Mandir (A House is a Temple) became a beautiful metaphor for their real life, as the two decided to build a 'ghar" together and turn it into their very own 'mandir."
