Bigg Boss 19 Contestants Name Full List: Bigg Boss 19 is just two weeks away from its grand premiere. The Salman Khan-hosted show’s theme this year is politics, and as reported earlier, the show will bring an interesting set of contestants. A lot of names have been doing the rounds online, while SCREEN had earlier reported that the makers had met with more than 45 contestants. We have now learned that 10 contestants have already been locked for the show. This year, Bigg Boss 19 will have 17 contestants entering the show initially, and another three to four contestants will enter the show as wild card entries.
According to our sources, a few contestants who are probably confirmed for the show are – Anupamaa fame Gaurav Khanna, social media influencer Payal Gamingg, actress Hunar Hali Gandhi, Splitsvilla and Roadies contestant Baseer Ali and Siwet Tomar, Social media influencer Awez Darbar, and his friend Nagma Mirajkar will also join the show, along with actress Ashnoor Kaur. Other confirmed names are director and writer Zeishan Quadri, content creator Tanya Mittal, actress Nehal Chudasama, and music composer Amaal Malik.
Shehnaz Gill’s brother, Shehbaz Badeshah, and content creator Mridul Tiwari are also in the running, but their participation will depend on audience voting. While singer Sreerama Chandra, who was initially confirmed for the show, might be dropped out. Arbaaz Patel has been dropping hints on social media about his upcoming reality show that starts next week. While Kirak Khala was also spotted in Mumbai a few days back. Apoorva Mukhija had earlier told SCREEN, ‘Never say never’ when she was asked about participating in the show.
While the season is 11 days away from its grand premiere, the makers are still in the process of locking down and finalising contestants. Makers are still meeting other candidates who can join the show. It was reported last week that Pooja Gor was approached for the show. One of our sources also revealed that makers have reached out to Hansika Motwani as well. Actor and comedian Ali Asgar has also been reportedly approached for the show. Last week, makers had reached out to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Sailesh Lodha to participate in the Salman Khan-hosted reality show.
Bigg Boss 19 will be a digital-first season this year. The show will run for five months. As reported by SCREEN earlier, the show has contestants divided into two teams, and this time, it will be the housemates who will run the show. Even the audience will be quite involved in taking the show’s narrative forward. Every week, important decisions about the house will be taken by the housemates, and like host Salman Khan said in the promo, ‘every action will have its consequence.’
Bigg Boss 19 will have its grand premiere on August 24. The show will first stream on JioHotstar, and after 90 minutes, the latest episode will appear on Colors TV.
