Mumbai, Aug 16 – Even before Bigg Boss 19 kicks off on August 24, speculation around its contestant line-up has reached fever pitch. An online entertainment outlet has claimed to have the “full list of 10 confirmed contestants”, including some big TV names, digital stars, and influencers.
The claimed line-up includes: Gaurav Khanna, Baseer Ali, Payal Gaming, Ashnoor Kaur, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Shafaq Naaz, Hunar Hali, Siwet Tomar, and Nayandeep Rakshit.
However, there’s a catch — this list is not officially announced by the makers, and several names have no credible confirmation from reliable media sources.
What the Claimed List Says vs. What’s Actually Reported
Names appearing in credible reports
- Gaurav Khanna, Baseer Ali, Ashnoor Kaur – Mentioned as “confirmed” in a Navbharat Times report, though still unofficial.
- Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Ashnoor Kaur – Listed as “likely” by The Times of India.
- Hunar Hali – Cited by Siasat.com as having “signed on” for the show.
Rumoured/Approached
- Payal Gaming – Reportedly approached for the show by The Indian Express and other outlets.
No credible Bigg Boss 19 mention so far
- Shafaq Naaz, Siwet Tomar, Nayandeep Rakshit – No mainstream coverage linking these names to the show.
Officially Confirmed? Not Yet.
Colors TV and Bigg Boss producers have so far not released any official contestant list. As with past seasons, the line-up is expected to be kept under wraps until the premiere or the channel’s formal reveal.
This season is already making headlines for its new “political-style” format, dividing housemates into a “ruling party” and an “opposition”, with “satta badal” tasks to swap power — all aimed at boosting drama and audience engagement.
What’s Next
The hype will only grow in the coming days, especially with the “Fans Ka Faisla” vote currently underway, where viewers pick between Shehbaz Badesha and Mridul Tiwari for a final spot in the house. Voting closes on August 21, and the winner will enter on premiere night.
Disclaimer: This “full list of 10 confirmed contestants” is based on a single outlet’s claim and should be treated as speculation until Colors TV makes an official announcement.
