Bigg Boss 19, also known as Bigg Boss: Iss Baar Chalegi Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar, is the nineteenth season of the Indian Hindi language reality television show Bigg Boss. It premiered on 24 August 2025 on JioHotstar and Colors TV. [1] Salman Khan hosts the show for the sixteenth time. [2]
On 23 August 2025, JioHotstar and Colors TV released promotional clips featuring confirmed contestants Gaurav Khanna, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, and Amaal Mallik. The teasers, shared via JioHotstar Reality's Instagram, showcased Khanna performing a dance to Main Hoon Na, described as the "audience ka favourite beta" with the caption, “Jhalak mein jab itna mazza, puri picture mein toh lagega tadka.”("When the glimpse is so much fun, the full picture will surely add spice!") Darbar and Mirajkar performed a couple's dance, with the caption, “Pyaar dosti hai, aur aisi hi ek jodi aa rahi Bigg Boss ke ghar mein! Kya banegi pyaar se sarkaar ya takraar?” Mallik featured a rendition of Kaun Tujhe Yun Pyar Karega, captioned, “Apne sur se dil jeetne wala aa raha hai ab apni sarkaar banane.” [3] [4] [5] On 24 August 2025, a teaser featured Neelam Giri dancing to Patli Kamar and Natalia Janoszek to Besharam Rang, described as "Desi chhori" and "Videshi gori," respectively, with the caption, “Desi chhori aur videshi gori ki niraali adaa, inhe dekh sab honge fida!”("The unique charm of the local girl and the foreign beauty, everyone will be smitten watching them!"). [6]
The official first look and logo were unveiled on 25 July 2025, confirming the season’s launch. [2] On 31 July 2025, a teaser featuring Salman Khan announced the premiere date of 24 August 2025 and the “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar” theme. [7] [8] A full trailer on 7 August 2025 highlighted the parliament-inspired twist. [9]
The season’s theme, “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar”, introduces a parliament-inspired setting where housemates control alliances, tasks, and house dynamics. The Assembly Room, modeled after the Indian Parliament, facilitates debates and voting, emphasizing strategy and control. [10]
The logo features a mosaic-style design with a multicolored iris in shades of blue, yellow, red, and green, symbolizing surveillance and house dynamics. A white border with blue and grey shading aligns with the season’s political theme. [11]
The show streams on JioHotstar at 21:00 IST, followed by Colors TV at 22:30 IST, reflecting a digital-first approach. [8]
The Bigg Boss 19 house, located in Film City, Mumbai, features a "Cabin in the Woods" theme with rustic wooden elements and vibrant accents. It was designed by Omung Kumar and Vanita Garud. The “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar” sub-theme emphasizes housemate decision-making. [12]
Additional features include a secret room and no jail, unlike previous seasons. [14]

On Day 1, housemates nominated one contestant for eviction in the Assembly Room. Farhana received the most votes but was sent to a secret room instead of being fully evicted. [23] [24] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Tasks | On Day 4, the "Merry-Go-Round" task was held in the garden area to select contenders for the house captain. A merry-go-round was set up alongside four houses, each with a digital screen. Before the task began, Bigg Boss asked Farhana, observing from the secret room, to remove one housemate from contention. She chose Baseer, who was then appointed as the sanchalak (moderator) for the first round. When a children’s laughter was heard, housemates mounted the merry-go-round, which rotated until the song stopped. The digital screens on the four houses then displayed the number of housemates each could accommodate. After the first round, Baseer selected one house, and its occupants were eliminated from captaincy contention. Eliminated housemates joined Baseer to decide eliminations in subsequent rounds. The task continued similarly, with multiple rounds narrowing down the contenders. After five rounds, Ashnoor Kaur, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Abhishek Bajaj emerged as the final contenders.

On Day 5, a captaincy task was held in the garden area to determine the first house captain. A large stage was set up with three workstations, each assigned to a contender: Abhishek (blue color), Ashnoor (green color), and Kunickaa (red color), as designated by the sanchalak. Each workstation had crayons in the contender’s assigned color. Supporter housemates selected a tile from a deck, colored one side with their contender’s color, and marked the other side with a coal cross. They handed the tile to their contender (or their representative), who placed it on the stage. Other contenders could flip opponents’ tiles to display the crossed side. Bigg Boss asked the contenders if they would personally place tiles on the stage or appoint a representative. Abhishek and Ashnoor chose to participate themselves, while Kunickaa selected Baseer as her representative, which disqualified her from participating in task. Tanya was appointed sanchalak, tasked with determining the winner based on the contender with the most tiles showing their colored side (blue for Abhishek, green for Ashnoor, red for Kunickaa) visible on the stage. Tanya declared Kunickaa the winner, making her the first house captain. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sponsored | On Day 6, Appy Fizz congratulated Kunickaa as the first Appy Fizz Captain of the house. An Appy Fizz Visi Cooler was unlocked, and Kunickaa received one bottle of Appy Fizz, choosing to share a second bottle with Baseer. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

On Day 9, Bigg Boss introduced the “Room of Faith” nomination task. Housemates were divided into trios, with three standing in red triangles, indicating they were at risk of nomination, while three others in green triangles decided which one of the red triangle trio would be nominated. At the end of each round, one housemate was nominated. Housemates could participate multiple times in green triangles to decide nominations.
Awez, Mridul, Kunickaa, Tanya and Amaal were nominated for weekend's eviction process. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Tasks | On Day 10, Bigg Boss addressed housemates’ concerns about dwindling rations, announcing that weekly rations would be provided by evening, contingent on their participation in an entertainment task called the “The BB Show.” The show, hosted by Zeishan, featured performances by few housemates to secure rations. Neelam opened with a dance act, followed by Amaal performing a dislike song targeting two housemates he dislikes. Pranit performed a stand-up comedy roast focusing on five housemates he dislikes. Mridul, alongside Kunickaa as co-actor, presented a sketch based on one or two housemates he dislikes. Tanya delivered a talk on struggles, reflecting on her personal experiences with house and its current housemates. Awez closed the show with a dance performance. Later, Bigg Boss called Gaurav to the confession room to judge the performances based on criteria provided by Bigg Boss, with live footage broadcast to housemates in the living area, unbeknownst to Gaurav. Gaurav passed the performances of Amaal, Pranit, and Tanya, but failed Mridul and Kunickaa’s sketch. As a result, 10% of the weekly ration was cut, and the housemates received 90% of the ration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
On Day 11, Bigg Boss introduced the “Dream Machine” task in the garden area, designed to grant captaincy contention in one attempt by activating a lever on the machine. However, following the rule of “one hand gives, one hand takes,” housemates had to accept a condition displayed on the machine’s digital screen to secure contention. All housemates, except Pranit (who was excluded from the captaincy race earlier that day), stood at a start line. At the sound of the machine’s start signal, housemates could accept the displayed condition and rush to a red circle, which granted the power to claim captaincy contention. The first housemate to reach the red circle would declare their desire for captaincy contention and accept the condition. Bigg Boss would then call them to activate the machine’s lever, sealing their captaincy contention. Pranit, as sanchalak, was tasked with determining which housemate reached the red circle first. Nehal reached the red circle in the third round but declined the gym closure condition. Bigg Boss reprimanded her for misleading viewers by reaching the circle only to decline, canceled the third round, and terminated the task, stating more rounds were planned. Consequently, Baseer and Abhishek were declared captaincy contenders. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
On Day 12, a captaincy task was set up in the garden area to determine the house captain between contenders Baseer and Abhishek. Fourteen stools, each in a designated circle, were placed with colored threads—blue for Baseer and pink for Abhishek—at opposite ends. Housemates sat on the stools while Baseer and Abhishek first collected their respective threads, then aimed to tie them to one leg of as many stools as possible. During the task, the opposing contender and the housemate seated on a stool could attempt to untie the thread. At the task’s conclusion, Bigg Boss asked Mridul for the result, who announced Baseer as the winner, having tied blue threads to more stools, making him the house captain. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Bigg Boss 19 grand premiere on 24 August 2025 received positive feedback for its high-energy launch, Salman Khan’s hosting, and diverse contestant lineup, as reported by Zee News and Times of India. The “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar” theme, enabling housemate decision-making, and the digital-first streaming on JioHotstar at 21:00 IST were highlighted as innovative. [6] Media outlets noted Khan’s witty banter, the vibrant house design with a lion statue and “rangbhoomi” outdoor area, and performances like Ashnoor Kaur’s dance and Amaal Mallik’s soulful rendition.
