Excitement is building for Bigg Boss 19, the Salman Khan-hosted show, with the new season scheduled to begin on August 24, 2025. The show has historically enjoyed a large fanbase. However, there have been signs of a decline in its viewership numbers, with some viewers finding it less engaging. Rishi Negi, the COO of the production house, has offered an inside perspective, answering whether Bigg Boss 19 can recapture the essence of season 13 and sharing details about the upcoming season’s highlights.
The theme for Bigg Boss 19 is centered on political dynamics. The core theme is ‘Housemates’ Government’. This means that contestants will be immersed in political challenges. Rishi Negi addressed the frequent claims that the show is scripted. He explained that the show operates without any interference for 105 days, providing only tasks and feedback through Salman Khan. The political theme is intended to provide audiences with engaging tasks that are based on real-world political situations.
The producers hope this theme will eliminate any perception of bias. The goal is to reflect a democratic environment where contestants can better understand power dynamics and decision-making processes. The producers believe this will bring the fans back to the show.
When asked if Bigg Boss 19 would be able to meet the success level of Bigg Boss 13, Rishi Negi said that Season 13 was iconic. He credited the success to contestants such as Shefali, Siddharth, Asim, and Shehnaaz and how well the cast worked together. He also expressed confidence in the casting choices for the upcoming season, emphasizing the importance of bringing in lively characters to the house, instead of depending on controversy or the number of fan followings. He anticipates that the new season will be a hit and hopes it will be better received than recent seasons.
