Gangs of Wasseypur fame Zeishan Qadri on entering Bigg Boss 19, says "Bebaak raho"

Zeishan Qadri joins Bigg Boss 19

Bigg Boss 19 returned to the television on August 24, 2025, introducing viewers to new contestants, fiery personalities, and the audacious theme ‘Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar.’ The show has once again set the stage for drama, shifting alliances, and power struggles inside television's most unpredictable house.

Zeishan Qadri, the actor, writer, and filmmaker who gained notoriety with the cult classic Gangs of Wasseypur, is one of the competitors this year. Zeishan is expected to bring the same intensity that has characterised his on-screen work to the Bigg Boss house.

Zeishan has recently reflected on the Bigg Boss theme and what viewers can anticipate from him before going inside the house.

He said, “I am pretty interested in politics, and that might come out in the public domain in the upcoming years. You don’t have to actually do politics; you just have to be honest. This is the best politics. I feel my quality of not being scared to say things will come in most handy to me inside the house. Bebaak raho.”

Zeishan also talked about his journey from Wasseypur to the Bigg Boss stage and added, “Gangs of Wasseypur was the experience of my life. What I witnessed, I had written in there. Now, I am entering the Bigg Boss house, which is comparatively normal and quiet.”

He continued, “There are rules and regulations. I was born and brought up in a jungle. There are no rules. There are people who are born to break rules. At least Bigg Boss has cultured beings. Here, you are in front of a camera. In Wasseypur, people knew that cameras shouldn’t be switched on, otherwise there would be a bigger fight.”

Bigg Boss 19 streams on JioHotstar at 9:00 PM IST and airs on Colors TV at 10:30 PM IST.
