The buzz around Ali Asgar joining Bigg Boss 19 just got hotter. Fresh reports now suggest that the beloved comedian—famous for his “Dadi” avatar in Comedy Nights with Kapil Sharma—has indeed been approached with a high-paying offer. Insiders hint it could be one of the bigger cheques handed out this season, as the makers aim to lock in household names to fuel TRPs.
Why the Makers Want Ali Asgar This Year
Season 19, themed Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar, is unlike any previous edition. The house will be split into a ruling party and an opposition, with “satta badal” power-shift tasks deciding who governs the week.
Producers are reportedly chasing popular, crowd-friendly personalities—people who can thrive in both heated political debates and lighthearted moments. Ali fits that brief perfectly.
The “Big Cheque” Factor
Reality TV veterans know that celebrity contestants’ pay can vary wildly depending on fame, fan following, and perceived entertainment value. For Ali, the rumored big cheque is both a lure and a vote of confidence from the makers.
Given his long-standing connection with Indian audiences—spanning comedy, television dramas, and reality shows—the investment could pay off in the form of high engagement and viral content.
The Strategic Entertainment Card
This season’s political drama format (detailed in the theme reveal) is expected to generate tense confrontations. A contestant like Ali could serve as the strategic entertainer—someone who can lighten the atmosphere while still playing the game smartly.
Star-Studded Contestant Mix
The rumored contestant list already includes a mix of TV actors, influencers, and seasoned performers. Purav Jha and Apoorva Mukhija bring youth appeal, while veterans like Shailesh Lodha add gravitas.
Ali’s addition could make the season’s entertainment quotient unmatchable.
Countdown to August 24
With the grand premiere just around the corner, fans are waiting to see if Ali walks onto the Bigg Boss stage and, if so, whether the “big cheque” translates into big game play.
