Shehnaaz Gill calls it unfair to choose between brother Shehbaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari ahead of Bigg Boss 19
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is back to host one of television's most loved reality shows, Bigg Boss. The new season has handed fans the power to choose between two contestants, Shehbaz Badesha or Mridul Tiwari. Now, Shehbaz's sister and actor Shehnaaz Gill, who rose to fame in Bigg Boss 13, has reacted to the new twist. Shehnaaz Gill talks about brother Shehbaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari's Bigg Boss 19 entry. Shehnaaz Gill on voting between Shehbaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari JioHotstar recently handed over the power to the viewers, allowing them to decide which contestant should step into the house. Staying true to this season's democracy-driven theme, the platform launched a special segment titled Fans Ka Faisla, giving the audience a unique chance to influence the direction of the show. The two contestants fighting for the spot in the house are Shehbaz and YouTuber Mridul. The person with the highest votes will be revealed on Bigg Boss 19 grand premiere. On Sunday, Shehnaaz took to Instagram stories and shared a video, calling it unfair to choose between Shehbaz and Mridul. She said, 'When I was on Bigg Boss 13, my brother Shehbaz had been manifesting to be in the show since then. He had stayed there for a week, and people had loved him a lot. Now, finally, he is getting a chance to go on Bigg Boss 19. But the opportunity is such that both the guys have been nominated and left homeless, which is quite unfair.' She added, 'I really want both of them to go in, but I want you all to vote for Shehbaz. They are so eager to go inside, let them go there. Only then will they know how difficult the journey is. Please send both the boys in.' During her Bigg Boss 13 stint, Shehnaaz's fun-loving, bubbly personality instantly won over audiences, with her quirky English and hilarious impersonations of fellow housemates. Her bond with Sidharth Shukla captivated viewers, and fans fondly coined their chemistry as SidNaaz. She finished third in the season and continues to enjoy a massive loyal fan base. About Bigg Boss 19 The teaser of the new season was released on July 31, heightening fan excitement. Salman introduced the theme, 'Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar', which promises a twist where housemates will wield the power to make major decisions. While the official line-up remains under wraps, actors Ashnoor Kaur, Gaurav Khanna, Dheeraj Dhoopar and content creators such as Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar are rumoured to be part of the show. Bigg Boss 19 will premiere on August 24 on JioCinema. Talking about the season, Salman said in a statement: 'Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar means the power is in their hands, and when people get power, their true faces are revealed. This time, the contestants have been given full authority to make their own decisions, but every decision comes with a consequence. I always say, play with dignity, but these people leave dignity behind and bring in drama. This season, they'll try to run the house their way, but when things go out of control, you know who's coming back to set the record straight!'

For over a decade, Salman Khan has hosted the seasons except for seasons 1, 2, and 3. Now, once again, a new season of the show is gearing up for release. Bigg Boss 19 is making noise on social media with fans speculating the list of contenders. Amid this, Shehnaaz Gill's brother, Shehbaz Badesha, has been confirmed as one of the contestants. What does this New Feature of 'Fans Ka Faisla' in Bigg Boss 19 Mean? On Thursday, JioCinema dropped a new promo of the upcoming season where Salman revealed a new feature called 'Fans Ka Faisla.' This feature allows fans to take complete control of a contestant's journey and transforms the audience from passive viewers into active participants. Two finalists are in the race for one coveted spot: Shehbaz Badesha — brother of Bigg Boss alumna Shehnaaz Gill — and Mridul Tiwari, the YouTuber behind the hit comedy channel The MriDul, which boasts over 18 million subscribers. With these two names now officially confirmed as contestants, it will be interesting to see who the fans really pick. Who is Shehnaaz Gill's Brother, Shehbaz Badesha? Shehnaaz Gill's brother, Shehbaz Badesha, is a social media personality who works as a singer, YouTuber, and aspiring actor. Shehbaz has also released his own music video, Aunda Janda on YouTube. He is an active social media user and often posts on Instagram. Shehbaz was also seen in Bigg Boss 13, where he supported his sister Shehnaaz, who was a contestant.

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.' He added, '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.'
