The Bigg Boss 19 buzz just got louder. With its OTT-first format already generating headlines, a new twist has emerged ahead of the August 30 premiere — two of the most beloved former winners, Elvish Yadav and Munawar Faruqui, are reportedly set to join the show in a special role during its opening week.
According to sources close to the production, both fan favorites will grace the premiere stage alongside host Salman Khan. Whether it’s a grand welcome appearance or something more strategic like guiding tasks or mentoring contestants remains to be seen. However, insiders hint at the possibility of the duo entering the house briefly as “seniors,” a concept Bigg Boss fans will remember from Season 14.
For context, Elvish clinched the trophy in Bigg Boss OTT 2, while Munawar became a household name after winning Bigg Boss 17. Their massive fan base and charismatic personalities make them ideal for spicing up the premiere and setting the tone for the season.
This move seems like a strategic blend of nostalgia and star power, likely aimed at boosting early viewer engagement, especially since this year’s format shift sees the show debuting on JioCinema before airing on Colors TV. The digital-first strategy, coupled with explosive entries like these, appears to be Bigg Boss 19’s formula for a record-breaking launch.
While the makers have yet to confirm the duo’s exact role, their potential presence has already set social media abuzz. If Elvish and Munawar do walk into the house together — even if just for a few days — viewers can expect fireworks, fan wars, and possibly, a few game-changing twists.
Stay tuned for the official promo expected later this month, and follow Bigg Boss 19 on JioCinema and Colors TV for more updates as the premiere date nears.
