The excitement around Bigg Boss is about to hit a whole new level. The makers are ready to return with a fresh season, and this time, it comes with some major surprises. Bigg Boss 19 is officially happening, and it promises to be the biggest and longest season ever seen on Indian television. Fans of the show, and of superstar Salman Khan, are already counting the days.
Unlike the usual 3-month format, the upcoming season will stretch for nearly 5.5 months. It marks the longest runtime in the history of the franchise. This time, the drama, arguments, friendships, betrayals, and Weekend Ka Vaar sessions will stay on TV screens much longer. The season is all set to premiere on July 30, 2025, and will continue till January 2026.
According to an exclusive update Salman Khan will begin shooting the show’s promo towards the end of June 2025. That’s one of the reasons the show is premiering much earlier than its typical schedule. Generally, Bigg Boss makes its television return around September or October. But the creators have decided to move up the calendar to give viewers a longer ride inside the house.
Another major change this year is the absence of Bigg Boss OTT. The digital spin-off, which had gained its own loyal following over two seasons, usually ran for around 1.5 months on JioCinema. This time, however, the makers have decided to skip the online-only version. It seems all the energy is being channelled into making Bigg Boss 19 bigger and more intense.
Rumors had recently made rounds about possible internal conflicts within Endemol Shine India, now part of Banijay Asia. The news left fans concerned about the future of both Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi. Some speculated whether the popular shows would take a hit. But those fears have been firmly put to rest. The production house has confirmed that Bigg Boss 19 will go ahead as planned, and the same team will remain behind the scenes.
This season will also mark Salman Khan’s 16th stint as the host. His connection with the audience remains as strong as ever. Weekend after weekend, viewers tune in not just for the contestants’ drama, but to watch Salman’s take on the week’s events. His candid style, wit, and straightforward attitude keep audiences glued to their screens. The ever-popular Weekend Ka Vaar episodes are expected to continue delivering those unforgettable moments. The superstar once remarked, “It’s not just a show, it’s an emotion for the audience.”
For now, the fans are simply thrilled. The house, the drama, the games, and the heated confrontations will soon be back. And with over five months of continuous entertainment ahead, Bigg Boss 19 is gearing up to become the most talked-about season in its long, successful journey.
