As the premiere date approaches, excitement surrounds Bigg Boss 19, the upcoming season of Salman Khan’s popular show, scheduled for August 24, 2025. However, a decline in viewership has been observed, leading some viewers to label the show as uninteresting. Rishi Negi, COO of the show’s production house, has shared his views on the new season. He discusses if Bigg Boss 19 can replicate the magic of season 13 and offers details on what’s in store.
The theme of Bigg Boss 19 revolves around politics. The season will present a ‘Housemates’ Government’, where contestants will participate in political games. Rishi Negi addresses the claims that the show is scripted, noting that the show allows contestants 105 days without any outside intervention, with tasks and feedback coming solely through Salman Khan. He clarifies that the political theme has been incorporated to give fans exciting and compelling tasks which are based on the political landscape.
This season aims to eliminate any issues of bias. The aim is to create a democratic environment where the contestants can have a better understanding of their power and the decision-making process. The producers believe that this will make the fans like the show again.
When asked if the new season can live up to season 13’s hype, Rishi Negi highlighted the iconic status of season 13, with key contestants like Shefali, Siddharth, Asim, and Shehnaaz. He also praised the good mix of the cast. He is confident in the current season’s casting choices, which focus on personalities who bring energy and excitement to the house. He believes this season will be a success and will be appreciated more compared to the recent seasons.
