AI-Themed Season Unveils Fresh Look. Salman Khan Returns as Host for Anticipated Late August Premiere
July 26, 2025: The official countdown for Bigg Boss 19 has begun. The people who made the show have shown off a new, colorful logo and hinted that the upcoming season will feature a theme based on AI. As word about the comeback of the popular reality program, which will be hosted by Salman Khan again, comes out, fans are getting more and more enthusiastic.
Bigg Boss 19 features a new logo and an AI twist. The show will start with Salman Khan in late August.
The official announcement, which JioHotstar shared on social media, includes a unique, multicolored eye emblem that stands for “many shades of drama, conflict, and entertainment.” The post said, “Countdown hogaya hai shuru, hoga chaos unlock soon!” Keep watching! This is a huge adjustment in the show’s unique branding after a few years.
Expected Start Date:
There is no official date for the launch yet, but various news sources, like Times of India and Livemint, predict that Bigg Boss 19 would probably start around August 29 or 30, 2025. People say that Salman Khan is filming the huge premiere on August 27 and 28. Some people say that this season might extend up to five months, which would make it one of the longest. Salman Khan will be the host for the first three months. After that, other famous people, like Karan Johar, Farah Khan, and Anil Kapoor, may take over as guest hosts. People say that the Bigg Boss house would be ready by August 20.
Changes to the Theme and Format:
People are talking a lot about Bigg Boss 19 due of its claimed “AI-influenced theme,” which is a new direction for the show. There will also be substantial changes to the program this season, including a big alteration in how people are evicted. It is said that housemates would have more of a say in who gets kicked out, going from “Bigg Boss chahte hai” (Bigg Boss wants) to “Bigg Boss janna chahte hai” (Bigg Boss wants to know). This implies that the people in the house will have greater say over how it functions this season, from picking duties to deciding what to eat.
