Bigg Boss 19: TMKOC's Jennifer Mistry To Participate In Salman Khan Show?
Bigg Boss 19 takes a political turn with team battles, leader votes, and surprise wild cards. Salman Khan returns to host the power-packed new season. Bigg Boss is gearing up for a major shake-up in Season 19, and this time, it's going political — literally. The first promo is out, and host Salman Khan is hinting at a new power-play format. With just weeks to go before the premiere, a lot is changing inside and outside the house. Among the buzz, names of potential contestants are doing the rounds. According to Bigg Boss Tazaa Khabar, actor Gurucharan Singh — best known for his role in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah — has been approached. Speculation also linked his co-star Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal to the show, but she's cleared the air. When contacted, she said, 'I have no idea about this. I was approached for the show last year. This year, I have not yet been approached." Bigg Boss 19 will feature 15 contestants when it kicks off, with three wild cards joining later. Some past contestants may also make surprise returns. A source shared, 'The bedroom can only accommodate 15 people in the house this year. There will be 15 beds, and most likely there might not be any double beds in the house this time." The start date has been pushed ahead, with Salman Khan now scheduled to shoot on August 22 and 23. The show was originally expected to premiere on August 30, but the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities from August 27 led to a reschedule. The season's theme is rooted in politics, and here's how it will unfold: contestants will be split into two groups — the ruling party and the opposition. The division will reportedly happen live on stage with Salman Khan during the grand premiere. Each week, both sides will nominate one person from their own camp to run for 'leader" of the house. The winner, chosen by a ballot vote, will be the week's sarkaar. The elected leader won't just manage their team — they'll also hand out duties to the opposition. From kitchen tasks to bedroom chores, they'll be assigning 'ministers" for each area. Secret group or solo tasks will also be part of the weekly challenges, helping both teams earn rations. Confirmed contestants so far include singer Sreerama Chandra and actress Hunar Hali. Gurucharan Singh is still in talks. Others reportedly being considered are Aamir Ali, Mugdha Chapekar, Chandni Sharma, Niyati Fatnani, Amaal Mallik, Mr. Faisu, Jannat Zubair, Rati Pandey, Dhanashree Verma, Apoorva Mukhija, and Gaurav Khanna. Influencers will once again make up part of the lineup, keeping with the show's recent trend. The show will stream on JioHotstar daily at 9 PM and will also air on Colors TV at 10:30 PM. view comments First Published: August 04, 2025, 10:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

As previously reported by SCREEN, the show is set to be run by the housemates this year. Meanwhile, fresh developments around Bigg Boss 19 have emerged over the weekend. As reported by the Bigg Boss Tazaa Khabar page on social media, Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah actor Gurucharan Singh has been approached for the show. There were also rumors that his co-star Jennifer Mistry Bansiwal will be joining him on the Salma-hosted show. However, SCREEN has exclusively learnt that the news about Jennifer Mistry is not true. When we reached out to the TMKOC star, she said, 'I have no idea about this. I was approached for the show last year. This year, I have not yet been approached.' Also Read: Bigg Boss 19 to be run by housemates this year, house for the Salman Khan-hosted show to be ready by August 20 Bigg Boss Season 19 will kick start with 15 contestants. Three wild card contestants will join the show in the upcoming week, and towards the end, some ex-contestants from the show might also reportedly enter the house. A source close to the show said, 'The bedroom can only accommodate 15 people in the house this year. There will be 15 beds, and most likely there might not be any double beds in the house this time.' Another source also informed us that the show has been preponed from its earlier premiere date of August 30. The reason behind the same is the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations that will begin from August 27. Now Salman Khan will shoot for the show on August 22nd and 23rd. A post shared by JioHotstar (@jiohotstar) While the politics-themed format for this season has been officially confirmed, we've learned some additional details about what viewers can expect. According to our source, contestants will reportedly be divided into two teams upon entering the house — the ruling party and the opposition. This division is expected to take place through a fun on-stage activity on stage with host Salman Khan. Each party will be required to nominate one member from their team every week to contest for the position of leader. The final decision will be made through a ballot vote, and the elected contestant will form the 'sarkaar' for that week. In an interesting twist, the leader will have the authority to assign responsibilities, not just within their own team but also to the opposition. They may also be given the power to appoint ministers, such as a kitchen minister, bedroom minister, etc., who will be responsible for ensuring tasks are completed. Additionally, both teams will receive secret tasks, either as a group or individually, and successfully completing them will help earn ration for the week. According to Bigg Boss Tazaa Khabar, Sreerama Chandra and Hunar Hali have been confirmed as contestants for the upcoming season. Gurucharan Singh has also been approached for the show. Others who are reportedly in talks include Aamir Ali, Mugdha Chapekar, Chandni Sharma, Niyati Fatnani, Amaal Mallik, Mr. Faisu, Jannat Zubair, Rati Pandey, Dhanashree Verma, Apoorva Mukhija, and Gaurav Khanna.
