Bigg Boss 19 confirmed contestants: Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur and other celebrities set to enter Salman Khan's show

Salman Khan will begin hosting Bigg Boss 19 in less than a week, and fans will be glued to their televisions. With numerous fan clubs posting preliminary contestant lists on social media, interest in the contestants is at an all-time high. A few confirmed competitors' names have been revealed exclusively to India Today, despite the fact that 15 celebrities are being trapped inside the house this season.

Mridul Tiwari, Siwet Tomar and Atul Kishan

Gaurav Khanna, a well-known television actor, is up first. He went straight to Celebrity MasterChef India after his time on Anupamaa finished, where he won. He has a good chance of winning the Bigg Boss 19 trophy because his fan base is at its height. According to reports, Gaurav is the highest-paid personality on the reality show this season.

Payal Gaming, Awez and Nagma and Zeeshan Qadri

Bigg Boss 19 will also mark the reality show debut of Ashnoor Kaur, once seen as the most popular kid actress on television. Reports claim that the actor's parents are wary and have also asked the filmmakers to guarantee that their young daughter won't be portrayed negatively. Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar, who are content creators and a real-life couple, have also been signed for the season. It would be intriguing to see them united under one roof because there have been recent rumors about them splitting up.

Sreerama Chandra, Shafaq Naaz, Hunar Hale

Bigg Boss 19 will also feature television stars Baseer Ali, Abhishek Bajaj, Hunar Hale, and Shafaq Naaz. While Baseer has experience from Roadies, Splitsvilla, and Ace of Space, Abhishek, Hunar, and Shafaq would be participating in their first reality show (although her sister Falaq was on Bigg Boss OTT 2). Former Splitsvillians Khank Waghnani and Siwet Tomar, who were formerly with the Roadies, have both signed the dotted lines.

Arbaaz Patel, Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur

According to reports, writer-actor Zeeshan Quadri and gaming video maker Payal Dhare, better known as Payal Gaming, have both been confirmed for the show. Shehbaz Badesha, the brother of BB13's Shehnaaz Gill and YouTuber Mridul Tiwari, will also join the team. They were put forward as a fan favorite, and JioHotstar has opened voting for fans to select their favorite.

On August 24, Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 19 will make its big debut. For the first time, the program will run on Colors TV at 10:30 p.m. after first streaming on JioHotstar at 9 p.m.
