Shehnaaz Gill says audience voting for Shehbaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari before Bigg Boss 19 is ‘unfair': ‘I really want both of them to go in, only then they will know how difficult the journey is'
Salman Khan–hosted Bigg Boss 19 is just a week away from its premiere. While a list of probable contestants has surfaced online, the final lineup will only be revealed when the show premieres next Sunday. Last week, however, the makers revealed two names who might enter the show, Shehnaaz Gill's brother Shehbaz Badesha and YouTube content creator Mridul Tiwari, and announced that their participation would depend on audience voting. While the 'fans ka faisla' is still awaited, actor Shehnaaz, who rose to fame with Bigg Boss 13, has reacted to the decision and called the opportunity 'unfair'. A few weeks back, SCREEN had exclusively reported that the audience will play a crucial role in driving the show's narrative this year, and the contestants will run the house this time. Now, as Shehbaz and Mridul's fate lies in the hands of the audience, Shehnaaz shared a video on her Instagram stories and said, 'When I was on Bigg Boss 13, my brother Shehbaz had been manifesting for 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.' A post shared by SHEHBAZ BADESHA (@badeshashehbaz) So far, a few names reported as confirmed contestants for Bigg Boss 19 include Ashnoor Kaur, Gaurav Khanna, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Shafak Naaz, Hunar Gandhi, Siwet Tomar, Baseer Ali, Anaya Bangar, Payal Gaming, and Khank Waghnani. However, as with every season, the final lineup will only be announced at the premiere, since negotiations with contestants often continue until the last minute. Other names rumored to be part of the show include Dheeraj Dhoopar, Khushi Dubey, Arbaaz Patel, Shehbaz Badesha, and Mridul Tiwari. A post shared by JioHotstar Reality (@jiohotstarreality) Bigg Boss 19 will premiere on August 24 on JioHotstar. As SCREEN had reported earlier this year, the Salman Khan-hosted show will be a digital-first property. It will stream first on JioHotstar at 9 pm and then air on Colors TV at 10:30 pm. This year, the theme of the show is Demo-crazy, where the contestants will run the house and make major decisions.

Who is Shehbaz Badesha, Shehnaaz Gill's brother, and how is he connected to Bigg Boss 19?
When it comes to reality shows in India, hands down, no one can stir up drama, entertainment, and controversy quite like Bigg Boss. 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. He was also a part of the show called Mujhse Shaadi Karoge. Apart from Instagram, Shehbaz is also an active user on X, where he shares updates about his upcoming projects. Meanwhile, coming back to Bigg Boss 19, Shehbaz is running for contendership in the reality show. Commenting on the one-of-a-kind 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.' 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.'
