Never-before-seen tasks in Bigg Boss 19

Every season, Bigg Boss features new challenges for the contestants, and they are interesting on their way. Bigg Boss 19 will also have some never-before-seen tasks as shared by Rishi Negi, COO of Endemol Shine and Banijay Asia.

Speaking to Hindustan Times, Rishi shared about what’s new this season and whether Bigg Boss 19 can recreate the magic of Bigg Boss 13. Rishi revealed what makes Bigg Boss 19 unique compared to previous seasons and said, "From the theme perspective, for the last couple of years, we have been hearing on social media a lot of people saying Bigg Boss is biased or scripted. While the show is completely unscripted as it is a reality show, there’s no interference for 105 days with the contestants. The only thing we give them is the tasks and the feedback that goes to them through Salman. This year we picked on that and decided to make this season about democracy, which is about letting housemates make the decision."

He further added that there is no point in anybody saying that this decision is influenced or biased. India is the mother of democracy, and as per him, we will see a very democratic house where housemates will have to understand the power and how their decisions will affect them as a group or individually.

Rishi Negi explains the role of the audience

As we know, the housemates will have decision-making power, and many viewers questioned the role of the audience. Clarifying this, the COO stated that the role of the audience remains the same; that is, they will decide who stays and who goes. The housemates are not going to vote each other out.

"The voting and final power will remain with the audience. We are digital-first this time, so we are building a lot of interactivity for the audience in the show. They will also participate and have a say in the show. So it’s going to be very interesting from that perspective," Rishi shared.

Confirming this season will bring back the magic, Rishi said that one of the big things we are doing this year is that the team has worked on the entire task list, and all the tasks viewers will see have never been done before or seen before. "From the scale of the tasks to how we shoot it, I think you’ll see a great differentiation in that also. Our idea is to go back to the OG Bigg Boss, whether it is from the task perspective or from the casting perspective," he said.

He further added that season 13 was iconic because of some of the housemates like Sidharth Shukla, Asim or Shehnaaz Gill, or Shefali. It was a great mix of cast. He said that he is very hopeful and confident because this year, they have looked at casting with a fresh perspective. They looked at casting of characters, and it’s not only about are the contestants are controversial or do they have a big following. "It’s about choosing characters because those characters will bring the house to life. So I am confident that this season will be bigger, better, and more appreciated than the seasons that have just gone by," Rishi clarified.
