Bigg Boss 19 Contestants List
This year’s Bigg Boss 19 contestants list brings together a riotous, occasionally unpredictable crew—there are 16 confirmed contestants in the house so far. Each comes with their own baggage and backstory, ready to spill confessions over kitchen duties and midnight fights. So, who are they? Let me introduce you:
Ashnoor Kaur
- At just 21, Ashnoor is already a known face in Indian households, thanks to her roles in Patiala Babes, Jhansi Ki Rani, and even a cameo in Sanju. She opened the show with a breezy ambition: to become the youngest winner ever. A vintage anecdote from her child-actor days? She once ate half a cake on set before anyone stopped her. That kind of mischief—Bigg Boss gold.
Zeishan Quadri
- Zeishan has “Gangs of Wasseypur” cred—not many in the house can claim they’ve both written and starred in a cult classic. He’s directed films, written scripts, and isn’t shy about voicing strong opinions. He’ll probably stage a Parliament session in the living room by week two.
Tanya Mittal
- Podcaster and content creator, Tanya famously (infamously?) provoked online debates with her commentary on current affairs. As social media’s unfiltered best friend, she’s likely to trigger a thousand reactions—a double-edged sword in this environment.
Awez Darbar
- A choreography whiz, Awez is a YouTube giant best known for dance and music videos that go viral at lightning speed. He’s a ball of energy, always ready for a step battle or two. Probably the one who’ll get people moving for impromptu ‘house parties’.
Amaal Mallik
- Bollywood tunes run in his veins; Amaal is a top composer who’s scored tracks for films—and now, the BB house soundtrack (if only he brought a piano). He gets sentimental talking about family, but don’t mistake him for soft; he’s competitive where it counts.
Nehal Chudasama
- A model, pageant queen, and fitness coach, Nehal’s grind is serious. She’s got routines and motivation to spare—likely leading the early-morning workouts, or rolling her eyes when snacks run out.
Abhishek Bajaj
- From Student of the Year 2 to web series fame, Abhishek's been around. Friends call him grounded; fans find him earnest (though Bigg Boss has turned many ‘nice guys’ into game-players before).
Baseer Ali
- Known for Splitsvilla and Roadies, Baseer is the reality show veteran. Hyper-competitive, strategic, and charming, he’s probably already plotting alliances as you read this.
Gaurav Khanna
- After Anupama and a win on Celebrity MasterChef, Gaurav is here to prove he’s more than just a TV good guy. Judging by his fan following, he could be this season’s ‘green flag’—for now.
Natalia Janoszek
- A globetrotter, Natalia’s Indian and international roles (including War 2 and Housefull 5) make her a wild card. New faces bring equal parts curiosity and skepticism—let’s see which side of the house she lands on.
Neelam Giri
- Dancer and performer Neelam stormed the premiere with an electrifying routine. She’s all about expressive moves, but can she keep up when debates start flying?
Kunickaa Sadanand
- A 90s Bollywood and TV stalwart, Kunickaa is opinionated and unapologetic. Rumored to have been at a Bigg Boss party before the show ever launched—she’s got stories (and the nerve to share them).
Mridul Tiwari
- Popular YouTuber Mridul brings his LOL-moment sketches and millions of fans along for the ride. He made it in after a fan vote—how’s that for a supportive digital tribe?
Pranit More
- Stand-up comic and former RJ, Pranit’s “I was once interrupted by hecklers mid-set” anecdote was probably just training for the living room debates awaiting him.
Farrhana Bhatt
- Entrepreneur and digital creator, Farrhana is used to fast schedules and louder discussions. Her ability to multitask (and single-handedly host dinner parties) may come in handy when chaos reigns.
Nagma Mirajkar
- A powerhouse on social platforms, Nagma’s all about choreography, fun lip-syncs, and a fiercely loyal following. Word is, she can turn any dull moment into a dance break—especially when she’s bored or nervous.
Every season, wild cards and twists are part of the fun, so don’t be surprised if more names barge in as ‘late entries’—just like that time a friend crashes your birthday party and suddenly runs the show.
Bigg Boss 19 Release Date
Bigg Boss 19 premiered on August 24, 2025, with Salman Khan back as host and an “OTT-first” approach—a big deal, since after years of prime-time TV, fans could finally stream it on Jio Hotstar from 9pm, and tune into Colors TV at 10:30pm.
This season’s theme—Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar—leans fully into political drama, giving housemates the final say on tasks, rules, and even punishments. Sounds like a recipe for chaos, but hey, isn’t that what keeps us glued?
Bonus: If you spot anyone confused by the new schedule, it’s probably your uncle still asking, “How do I get Hotstar on my TV?” Some things never change.
