Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s event and the potential Naagin 7 surprise.
When and Where to Watch Bigg Boss 19 Premiere
Bigg Boss 19 is taking a digital-first approach this season, premiering on JioHotstar at 9:00 PM IST, followed by a telecast on Colors TV at 10:30 PM IST on August 24, 2025. This 90-minute gap allows OTT viewers to get a head start on the action, making it a must-watch for fans who can’t wait to see Salman Khan introduce the contestants and set the stage for the season’s drama.
The theme for this season, “Gharwalon Ki Sarkar,” promises a political twist where contestants hold the power to make decisions, with the audience retaining voting rights. The house, designed as a cozy cabin in the woods, is equipped with nearly 100 cameras and no jail, hinting at innovative ways to challenge the housemates.

Adding to the premiere’s excitement, social media and entertainment reports are abuzz with speculation that Ekta Kapoor, the queen of Indian television, will unveil the first look of her supernatural franchise Naagin 7 during the Bigg Boss 19 premiere.
The Naagin series, known for its gripping supernatural drama and stellar casts, has been a TRP-topping show since its debut in 2015. Previous seasons featured stars like Mouni Roy, Surbhi Jyoti, and Tejasswi Prakash, and fans are eager to learn who will take on the iconic role of the Naagin in Season 7. Speculation points to Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary, a popular TV actress and Bigg Boss 16 alum, as a strong contender for the lead role, though no official confirmation has been made.
A brief promo of Naagin 7 was reportedly shared by Colors TV but was quickly deleted, sparking further curiosity. The teaser featured the signature mystical vibe of the Naagin universe, with a serpent slithering across the channel’s logo, but the lead’s identity remains under wraps. This mysterious move has only heightened fans’ excitement for tonight’s potential reveal.
