Bigg Boss 19: A New Political Theme
Bigg Boss 19 is introducing a new concept: Politics in the House. On the show’s grand premiere, all contestants will be divided into two parties, and an election will be held. Whoever wins will immediately be made the government of the house. Similarly, elections will be held for every part of the house, such as Kitchen Minister and Bedroom Minister, and power will be established through voting. Some ex-contestants like Hina Khan and Elvish Yadav might also make an appearance.
Contestants Approached for the Show
Siwet Tomar Siwet Tomar, who has appeared in Splitsvilla X5 and Roadies, has been approached for Bigg Boss 19. His old rival, Digvijay Singh Rathi, was part of Bigg Boss 18 but did not make a significant impact. It remains to be seen what kind of excitement Siwet will bring if he joins the show.
Raftaar Sources close to the show have revealed that the makers are in talks with rapper, singer, and music producer Raftaar. If everything goes well, he could be seen inside the house this season. Raftaar’s sharp tongue, strong personality, and no-nonsense attitude make him a perfect contestant for this political-themed season. Although he has not signed the contract yet, if he agrees, there will be both speed and conflict in the house.
Shailesh Lodha Shailesh Lodha, who played the role of Taarak Mehta in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has also been approached. He has a clean and thoughtful image. If he joins, a different kind of maturity will be seen in the house.
Khanak Wagnani Influencer and content creator Khanak has also been contacted for BB19. She was seen in Splitsvilla X5, where she had a connection with Adit. She faced a lot of controversy and trolling due to her breakup with him, with claims that she cheated on Adit with someone from Dubai. This is what caught the makers’ attention. Her stylish and bold personality will bring both glamour and drama to the show. If both Siwet and Khanak join the show, there could be a lot of controversy.
Priyanka Jagga It is known that there is a high chance of ex-Bigg Boss contestants appearing on the show this year. However, Priyanka from Bigg Boss 10 was famously kicked out of her season, and Salman Khan had stated that he would not host Bigg Boss again if she ever appeared on Colors TV. Priyanka herself has tweeted that she has been approached for this season. This suggests either Priyanka is lying to be in the news, or the makers might bring her in if Salman Khan is not hosting this season.
Kirti Chaudhary Another viral social media name, Kirti Chaudhary, has been approached by the makers due to her powerful thoughts and strong personality. Kirti gained fame from the Ravi Sargun production show Rafuchakkar. A personality like hers can often become the reason for intense arguments in the house, making her perfect for Bigg Boss.
Manish Kashyap Self-styled journalist and YouTuber Manish Kashyap is known for his controversial videos and political content. Controversy is the lifeblood of a show like Bigg Boss, and names like Manish can directly boost TRP.
Rupam Sharma Rupam, a former co-star of Pranali Rathod from the show Kumkum Bhagya, has also been recently approached. She has also been seen in the serial Maddam Sir. Her entry could bring a soft balance to the show, but it will be interesting to see if she can survive in tough situations.
Gurucharan Singh Makers are also in talks with Gurucharan Singh, who played the role of Sodhi in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. His name was also widely discussed for Bigg Boss 18 last year, but he did not participate. It remains to be see how far the talks will go this year.
Tej Pratap Yadav Tej Pratap Yadav is the elder son of former Bihar Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. As an Indian politician, he has served as the Cabinet Minister of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change in the Bihar government. He has been approached for Bigg Boss 19. Given the show’s political theme, his name is in discussion. However, with the Bihar elections approaching, there is suspense about his participation.
Confirmed Contestants
Payal Dhare Considered the queen of the gaming world, Payal has 4.4 million subscribers on YouTube and 4 million followers on Instagram. She is almost confirmed for the show. Payal is a strong, smart female gamer. If she can master mind games just as she does in gaming, she could become a top contender in the house.
Faizal Shaikh (Mr. Faisu) Social media sensation Mr. Faisu, who made a splash on the stunt-based show Khatron Ke Khiladi, is confirmed for this season. His fan following is in the millions, and his smart, cool, and diplomatic nature will help him last long in the show. Whether it’s a fight or a love angle, Faisu fits in both.
Sreerama Chandra Indian Idol winner and singer Sreerama Chandra has also been confirmed for Bigg Boss 19. He has participated in several reality shows before, and his calm yet competitive personality can give the show a new dimension. If there’s music in the house, the atmosphere is bound to be lively.
Hunar Gandhi (Hunar Ali) Well-known TV actress Hunar Ali will also be a part of this season. Hunar has worked in many TV serials and web shows. Her maturity, grace, and a bit of diplomacy can make her a strong female contestant in the house. Additionally, her emotional side might connect with the audience.
Rumored Contestant Not Participating

It remains to be seen if the makers will invite Khushi, or if their public drama will have been for nothing.
