Bigg Boss 19 Update: Salman Khan’s most loved reality show, Bigg Boss, is coming up with its 19th season this year. With reports claiming that the show will air in August, the anticipation among fans has increased. The show is well-known for its engaging tasks, elegant set design, and Salman Khan's witty commentary. However, this season introduces a twist as three additional hosts are expected to join Salman Khan. Can you guess who these famous personalities might be?

Bigg Boss 19, according to a report in SCREEN, will air by the last weekend of August, probably on 29th and 30th August, and is expected to run for five months, making it one of the longest seasons to date. Salman Khan is set to inaugurate the season, though his hosting agreement is reportedly for a three-month period only. Following this, other Bollywood personalities are expected to assume hosting duties for the show. The report added, “Like every year, the makers are planning to bring in different celebrities as special hosts. After Salman finishes his three-month-long stint, makers will bring in Farah Khan, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor to step in as hosts."

On the other hand, another big twist in this year’s edition is the episodes will premiere on JioCinema first before being aired on Colours TV. The report revealed, “The makers are making this season as a digital-first property. This means the show will run simultaneously on TV and OTT; however, the fresh episodes will drop on Jio Hotstar first, and after one and a half hours, the same episode will appear on Colours TV."
