Bigg Boss 19 countdown begins!
Not long ago, the makers of Bigg Boss dropped the first promo of its 19th season on social media. In the video, host and actor Salman Khan said, “I’ve been a part of Bigg Boss for a long time. As we all know, the game evolves every year, and it’s gharwalo ki sarkar. And when too many people start pulling the threads, things will get nasty. That’s when the cracks appear and the house transforms into a combat zone. After all these years, I can honestly say that I am as excited as you are to see how it all turns out.”
