The makers of Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19 dropped the show's intriguing trailer and revealed the theme of the upcoming season.
Set against the backdrop of a Parliament-style Bigg Boss house, this season's theme - Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar - marks a game-changing twist. For the first time ever, power shifts entirely to the housemates, who will now call the shots on everything from petty disputes to major decisions.
However, with control comes chaos, and in the trailer, Salman warns of consequences when things go out of hand. With this, Bigg Boss 19 has promised to be the most unpredictable season yet.
In the trailer, Salman is heard saying, "Aisa pehli baar hua hai 18-19 saalon mein. Iss baar Bigg Boss ke ghar mein drama crazy nahi, democracy hone vala hai. Toh har chota bada faisla gharwalon ke haath mein hai. Gharwalon, do whatever you want to do man. But be ready for anjaam and aavaam. Kyunki Bigg Boss mein hai iss baar gharwalon ki sarkaar."
In a press statement, Salman, returning as host for Bigg Boss 19, shared his excitement, saying, "Bigg Boss ka har season alag hota hai, lekin iss baar toh scene hi palat gaya hai. 'Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar' ka matlab hai power unke haath mein aur jab power milti hai, toh asli chehre saamne aate hain. Is baar contestants ko apne decisions lene ka poora hakk diya gaya hai, par har decision ke saath ek consequence bhi aata hai."
"Main hamesha kehta hoon, tameez se khelo, par yeh log tameez chhod ke drama le gate hain. This season, they'll try to run the house their way but, when things go out of control, you know who's coming back to set the record straight," he added.
While the official list of contestants is still under wraps, one thing is certain - drama and entertainment are guaranteed this season.
The buzz around the show has intensified with the release of its trailer and fans have left no stone unturned to express their excitement.
