The highly anticipated Bigg Boss 19 is set to premiere this weekend, with a major rumor suggesting the former heavyweight champion could enter the house. Meanwhile, host Salman Khan has a special challenge for fans to reveal the contestants.
August 22, 2025: People are incredibly excited that the countdown to Bigg Boss 19 has officially begun. Fans are really looking forward to the big opening on Sunday, August 24. In the meantime, a stunning new rumor has circulated on social media: boxing icon Mike Tyson is rumored to be in early talks to be a guest on the reality program.
The Times of India reported that the individuals who make the show are in touch with the 59-year-old former American professional boxer and his entourage. If the deal goes through, a source told the magazine that Tyson will probably live into the residence for seven to ten days in October. The move’s purpose is to “make the show more appealing” by adding a worldwide star, which has succeeded before.
The host, Salman Khan, has added a strange twist to the frenzy, which has got fans even more enthusiastic. JioHotstar put out a new ad in which Salman tells people to “like the post” if they want to know the identities of the people who will be in the show before it airs. Fans instantly filled the comments with heart emojis to try to get the list, and the challenge spread throughout the world.
This season, which is being labeled the “longest ever,” will be focused on the theme “Gharwaalon ki Satta.” This gives the contestants more power than ever to make decisions in the home. The point of changing the format is to make the show more fun.
Bigg Boss 19 will initially be available to watch online. At 9 PM, new episodes will be available on JioHotstar, and at 10:30 PM, they will be available on Colors TV. The actual list of housemates is still a secret, although it is believed that Ashnoor Kaur, Abhishek Bajaj, and Shehbaz Badesha will be on the show.
