The curtain finally lifted on Bigg Boss 19 with a glamorous premiere. Hosted by Salman Khan the show welcomed 16 celebrities from diverse fields including actors singers influencers and more. Each contestant walked in with hopes of surviving the unpredictable journey inside television’s most-watched house. Who faced the first big clash? One of the most talked-about moments of the night was the Fans Ka Faisla face-off between YouTuber Mridul Tiwari and Punjabi singer Shehbaz Badesha. Audience votes favoured Mridul securing him a spot inside the house. Shehbaz however was shown the exit at the gate or so it seemed. Is Shehbaz Badesha really out? Speculation is running wild that Shehbaz has not left the show entirely. If whispers are true he has been shifted to a secret room a strategy Bigg Boss has used before. Fans remember how Sidharth Shukla and Paras Chhabra were hidden during BB 13 only to make dramatic comebacks later. Reports suggest Shehbaz may walk into the main house after a week. Adding to the mystery Shehbaz himself posted a heartfelt thank-you on Instagram keeping the curiosity alive. Buzz also hints at Khushi Dubey being another potential wild card entry this season. What’s the theme this year? This season runs on the theme “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar.” The concept borrows from the idea of democracy though the exact format of how contestants will adapt to this remains under wraps. If Bigg Boss history is anything to go by it will play a massive role in tasks nominations and power shifts inside the house. Who are the confirmed contestants? The lineup for Bigg Boss 19 is a mix of fresh and familiar faces. Alongside Neelam the full list includes: Gaurav Khanna Amaal Mallik Ashnoor Kaur Awez Darbar Nagma Mirajkar Zeishan Qadri Baseer Ali Abhishek Bajaj Tanya Mittal Kunickaa Sadanand Nataila Janoszek Pranit More Nehal Chudasama Mridul Tiwari Farhana Bhatt Each contestant brings their own fan base and personality ensuring fiery clashes and alliances ahead.
