Bigg Boss 19 will launch by the end of August, and the show is making headlines already for its contestants. There are many names approached for the show.

Fans and followers are excited about its return to television.

Tellychakkar revealed exclusively that another celebrity actress is being approached for the show. They quoted the source as, “Mugdha Chaphekar for the upcoming season. While nothing has been signed yet, discussions are ongoing and both parties are keen.”

Mugdha rose to fame with her stint in Kumkum Bhagya on Zee TV.

As per reports by the publication, Mugdha’s name came up during the launch of Bigg Boss 18 too; however, apparently, the deal did not work out. The source further quoted them as saying, “There’s genuine interest from both ends. If all goes well, viewers might finally see a very different side to Mugdha on national television.”

Bigg Boss 19 is set to go on-air by August end and there are a lot of possibilities and speculations doing the rounds.

Apparently, Bigg Boss 19 is expected to have a run time of three and a half months, post which it will be carried forward to the OTT medium. This year’s theme is REWIND, which means we can expect a lot of drama around the tasks and escalated fights.

There is a buzz about the introduction of the secret room. We can also expect the contestants to be nominated and then make a comeback to the game after finding out what the other contestants actually think of them and the others. Vengeance overloaded.

Apparently, more importance will be given to the importance of task performance, as if any of them get cancelled, the participants will lose their opportunity of getting their luxury budget.
