With anticipation steadily building, Bigg Boss is all set to return with its much-awaited 19th season. As always, curiosity around the celebrity line-up is sky-high, and speculation is rife about who will be locked inside the house this year.

Among the fresh names being buzzed about is digital content creator Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid, Ram Kapoor with his wife Gautami Kapoor, Salman Khan's co-star Daisy Shah and others.

Apoorva Mukhija

A report by Siasat suggests that the influencer, who made headlines during her India’s Got Talent controversy, has been approached for the upcoming season. While neither she nor the show’s makers have confirmed the news, fans are already intrigued.

Several other well-known personalities from the Indian television world are also reportedly in talks with the producers.

Ram Kapoor with his wife Gautami Kapoor

One of the biggest surprises is the inclusion of the much-loved real-life couple, Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor, known for their work in numerous hit TV shows. Actress Moon Banerjee, a familiar face in many daily soaps, is another contender reportedly being considered.

Shashank Vyas

Actor Shashank Vyas, best known for his portrayal of Jagya in Balika Vadhu, is also said to be on the list of potential housemates.

Sharad Malhotra 

Sharad Malhotra, who has delivered strong performances in shows like Banoo Main Teri Dulhan and Naagin, is rumoured to be part of the line-up as well.

Daisy Shah

Also creating a buzz is Daisy Shah, who has worked with Salman Khan in Race 3 and Jai Ho. Having recently participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi 13, she’s believed to be one of the confirmed contestants this season.

Khushi Dubey

Khushi Dubey, who gained recognition for her roles in daily soaps like Aashiqana and Jaadoo Teri Nazar, is also reportedly being considered.

Neil Motwani

Neil Motwani, another TV actor with a steady fanbase, is among the names doing the rounds.

Munmun Dutta

Adding to the intrigue, a report by ETimes claims that Munmun Dutta, famously known as Babita Ji from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has once again been approached.

Though she has declined offers in the past, fans are hopeful that she may finally enter the Bigg Boss house in 2025.

Earlier this year, rumours circulated that Bigg Boss 19 might be scrapped due to a dispute between Colors TV and Banijay Asia. However, a Pinkvilla report later confirmed that the season will go ahead, this time under the production of Endemol Shine India.

Salman Khan will return as host, with the promo shoot expected by late June and the show tentatively airing in July 2025. Official confirmation is still awaited.
