The excitement around Bigg Boss 19 has reached new heights as the makers finally unveiled a glimpse of the first confirmed contestant. Ahead of the grand premiere, the team behind the hit reality show is fueling anticipation and keeping fans hooked with strategic reveals.
Earlier today, JioHotstar shared a promotional video featuring Salman Khan, where the superstar challenged fans to hit 50,000 likes. The reward? A teaser clip revealing the first contestant. Within no time, the video surpassed the milestone, and true to his word, Salman introduced the much-awaited glimpse.
In the second video shared on Instagram, Salman is seen saying: “Acha, itni jaldi hai jaane ki contestants kon honge. Itni jaldi, itne saare likes, chalo ek contestant ko reveal kar hi deta hu.” Following his words, a contestant dressed in a striking red blazer is shown from behind, performing stylish dance moves. The teaser cleverly avoids revealing the face, leaving fans eager to identify the mystery participant.
The brief clip was enough to send the internet into overdrive. Fans quickly filled the comment section with their guesses, and many became convinced that the contestant is none other than popular social media personality and choreographer Awez Darbar. Known for his dance videos and massive following, Darbar has long been rumored to be approached for Bigg Boss. This season, fans believe he has finally said yes.
Adding to the buzz, speculations also suggest that influencer Nagma Mirajkar may be joining the Bigg Boss 19 house. However, her participation has not yet been officially confirmed by the makers.
The hype doesn’t stop there. Bigg Boss 19 is set to premiere on August 24, 2025, with a twist in its broadcast strategy. Prioritizing digital audiences, JioHotstar will stream the episodes at 9 PM, while television viewers can catch the show on Colors TV starting at 10:30 PM—a 90-minute delay designed to spotlight the OTT release.
With Salman Khan at the helm and fan-favorite names like Awez Darbar strongly speculated, Bigg Boss 19 promises to bring high drama, entertainment, and plenty of surprises. The countdown has begun, and viewers are eagerly waiting to see who else will enter the house this season.
