Season 19 of Bigg Boss, hosted by Salman Khan, will premiere on the evening of 24 August. Fans are waiting with bated breath to see the contestants on the show.
Ahead of the premiere, the show makers released promos to tease who’s coming on the show, with fans guessing names like Amaal Mallik, Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar. Take a look at the list of probable contestants on Bigg Boss 19.
Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar
The first promo to be released this week was captioned, “Bhai ne aapke likes ki pukaar sun li… dekh lo ab contestant ki jhalak aur pehechano kaun (Bhai has heard you…see a glimpse of this contestant to guess who it is).” The reveal showed a man dressed in a red suit that many guessed was dancer Awez Darbar.
Furthermore, his rumoured girlfriend, influencer Nagma Mirajkar, is also expected to appear on the show. A promo was released with the caption, “Pyaar dosti hai, aur aisi hi ek jodi aa rahi Bigg Boss ke ghar mein! Kya banegi pyaar se sarkaar ya takraar? (Love is friendship, and a couple like this is coming to Bigg Boss. Will their love cause issues or rule?)”
Gaurav Khanna
One promo with the caption, “Audience ka favorite beta is here to rule! Jhalak mein jab itna mazza, puri picture mein toh lagega tadka (Audience’s favourite son is here to rule! When the glimpse is this fun, the whole picture will be spicier).” The contestant was guessed to be TV actor Gaurav Khanna, known for his roles on Anupamaa and CID.
