Bigg Boss, India’s most-watched reality TV show, is back with its 19th season, and host Salman Khan promises an innovative twist: Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar (The Housemates’ Government). The star-studded show—which merges politics with reality drama—premieres on August 24, 2025, exclusively on JioHotstar, followed by a TV broadcast on Colors.
Fresh Format for the Longest-Running Season Yet
This season marks the franchise’s longest run to date, stretching over five months with Salman hosting the first three (about 15 weekends). The show’s revamped trailer injects political flair, with housemates wielding real decision-making power—and facing consequences for their choices. The new theme teases a blend of drama and democracy, or “democrazy,” as teased in leaked promos.
