The much-anticipated Bigg Boss 19 is officially on its way, with the first promo now out, revealing a vibrant new logo and setting the stage for the upcoming season. Hosted by Salman Khan, the reality show is set to return with a fresh format and new digital partner, as announced by JioHotstar through a joint post on its official Instagram handles.

Fresh Look and New Theme Unveiled

The recently released promo marks the first official announcement of Bigg Boss 19 and features a revamped version of the show’s signature eye logo. Unlike previous designs, the new logo showcases a dynamic mix of colours including blue, pink, white, yellow, and purple, representing what the makers describe as the varied shades of drama, conflict, and entertainment expected this season.


According to a press release from the show’s team, the eye symbolizes the show's evolving nature, hinting at an unpredictable and high-energy format. The post was captioned, “Countdown hogaya hai shuru, hoga chaos unlock soon! Stay tuned!” The video does not feature Salman Khan or any contestants, but the new aesthetic has already caught fans’ attention.


Adding to the intrigue, this season will incorporate an Artificial Intelligence-inspired theme, a first for the franchise. Alongside the new theme, the Bigg Boss house itself has reportedly been redesigned and is expected to be completed by August 20. Notably, a significant change in the format is also expected—housemates may now have a say in eviction decisions, altering the traditional dynamic of the game.

When and Where to Watch Bigg Boss 19

Bigg Boss 19 will stream first on JioHotstar, which replaced JioCinema as the show's OTT platform earlier this year. Television broadcasts will follow on the Colors channel. The promo confirms that the show is “unlocking chaos soon,” hinting that the grand premiere is fast approaching. According to SCREEN, the premiere is likely to take place during the weekend of August 30, with Salman Khan reportedly shooting the opening episode around August 27.

Salman Khan is still expected to begin the season as host. However, reports suggest that the hosting mantle might be passed on after the first three months. Names like Farah Khan, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor have been mentioned as possible alternate hosts for the latter half of the season, although official confirmation is awaited.

Rumoured Contestants Create Buzz

Though the final list of participants remains under wraps, there has been growing speculation around the potential housemates. Media reports and online discussions have hinted at several familiar faces from television and social media. Among the names doing the rounds are Shraddha Arya, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Gaurav Khanna, Anita Hassanandani, Alisha Panwar, and Madalsa Sharma.

Additionally, influencers and digital personalities like Faisal Shaikh, Lakshay Chaudhary, and Khushi Dubey are also being considered. Reality TV regulars such as Daisy Shah, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Khushi Mukherjee are likewise rumoured to be on the list.

One of the more novel speculations involves the inclusion of an AI-generated digital character named Kavya Mehra. If confirmed, she would be the first virtual contestant in the show’s history.
