The grand premiere of Bigg Boss 19 was nothing short of a spectacle, filled with laughter, revelations, and heartwarming moments as Salman Khan introduced a power-packed lineup of contestants.

The biggest highlight of the night came when Salman announced social media sensations and rumoured couple Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar as confirmed participants. Making their entry hand in hand, the duo addressed their much-talked-about relationship rumours for the very first time on national television. Awez, opening up emotionally, told Salman, “Mera joh past tha woh bahot heavy raha hai… main nahi chahta tha ke Nagma struggle kare mere saath… Toh abhi main trail basis par hoon.” His candid confession instantly set the tone for an honest season ahead.

Music composer Amaal Mallik brought depth to the evening as he reflected on his personal journey. Sharing that the show will reveal the “real Amaal” beyond headlines, he admitted how speaking about his mental health was initially met with resistance, even from his parents. “When I shared a post about feeling depressed, many thought I shouldn’t have done it,” he revealed, crediting the show for giving him the chance to show his vulnerable side.

The buzz grew stronger when Salman introduced Gaurav Khanna, calling him a “green flag” both on and off-screen. While praising his on-screen persona, Salman cheekily reminded him that inside the house, “aapke asli rang sabko dikhai denge.” The actor’s entry sparked excitement among fans who have long adored his dignified roles. Gaurav surprised everyone by revealing that he is colour blind. With a smile, he joked about how traffic lights have always been tricky for him—a confession that instantly had everyone in splits.

Adding youthful energy, Ashnoor Kaur stunned everyone with her confidence during a fun weighing machine (tarazu) segment. Dismissing critics who call her too young for the show, Ashnoor reminded audiences that she has been working since the age of four. Salman, impressed, left the audience in splits with his witty remark, “Mature logon se mila hota toh main mature hota.”

From Bollywood to desi swag, Zeishan Qadri, famed for Gangs of Wasseypur, teased that he might create the third film inside the Bigg Boss house, prompting Salman to joke if it will be called Gangs of Bigg Boss.

Meanwhile, entrepreneur Tanya Mittal stirred curiosity by boldly asking Salman about his love life. In a rare candid moment, Salman admitted, “Mujhe kabhi saccha pyaar hua hi nahi.” As Tanya questioned further, the superstar lightened the mood by playfully showcasing her luxury reels and warning that inside the house, “VIP treatment” won’t be the same.

With confessions, glamour, and Salman’s unmatched humour, the launch episode promised viewers a season brimming with drama, emotions, and surprises—setting the stage for an unforgettable Bigg Boss 19.
