According to the leaked contestants' list, celebrity couple Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor will join the show. Tiger Shroff's sister is also likely to be a part of the reality TV show hosted by Salman Khan. Tanushree Datta, Anita Hassanandani, Mamta Kulkarni, Sharad Malhotra, Munmun Dutta, Gaurav Taneja aka The Flying Beast, Kanika Mann and Alisha Panwar are a few other names who could join the reality TV show.
After appearing in The Traitors India, controversial figures Raj Kundra and Apoorva Mukhija are reported to be locked in the house. While they both did not win the Karan Johar-hosted show, they could aim for the trophy with Salman Khan's TV show.
The theme for Bigg Boss 19 is Rewind. The biggest twist is that the Secret Room makes a comeback. This means that the bottom two will be kept in a room to observe the participants rather than be eliminated. Furthermore, this season, the participants cannot vote the players out and the control is back in the viewers' hands. As for the ration, if any task gets cancelled, then the participants would have to survive without the ration for a week straight.
Bigg Boss 19 is slated to commence in August. Although initial reports suggested the reality show would begin on August 2, there is news that it is not the case. An official announcement is awaited.
