Bigg Boss 19 Update: Bigg Boss 19 is set to kick off on 24th August with a grand premiere, and as always, Salman Khan will be back as the host. Ahead of the show’s big launch, the makers began building hype by letting fans choose the very first contestant. They organised a public voting round between Shehnaaz Gill’s brother, Shehbaz Badesha, and Mridul Tiwari to decide who would enter the house first.

In a surprising turn of events, Mahira Sharma, who was once considered Shehnaaz Gill’s rival during their Bigg Boss 13 days has stepped forward to support Shehbaz. Mahira took to her Instagram story and shared a poster from the makers promoting Shehbaz’s voting appeal. Alongside it, she wrote, “Give him the chance to get inside and vote for him as much as you can. You can vote for him 99 times...” This public display of support quickly caught Shehnaaz’s attention. Clearly touched by Mahira’s gesture, Shehnaaz re-shared the story on her own Instagram profile. The post has since gone viral, with fans flooding social media with reactions. Many netizens see this as a sign that the two have finally put their differences aside.

For those who may not know, Shehnaaz and Mahira had several heated arguments during Bigg Boss 13, which led to a tense relationship long after the season ended. The two kept their distance from one another, although they were seen together briefly at the funeral of the late Sidharth Shukla. Mahira’s latest gesture, however, seems to indicate that the pair have buried the hatchet after years of animosity. Meanhwile, Shehbaz Badesha, who is no stranger to the Bigg Boss stage thanks to his previous guest appearances, has been actively campaigning for votes. With Mahira’s backing, many believe his chances of making it into the Bigg Boss 19 house have grown stronger.
