After roughly three and a half months on air, the season of the Salman Khan-hosted reality show is reaching its climax tonight. The final five contestants still in the race are Gaurav Khanna, Amaal Mallik, Farrhana Bhatt, Pranit More and Tanya Mittal. The winner will be decided by public voting.
Originally launched on 24 August with 16 contestants, the show later added two wild-card entries, bringing the total to 18. Over the course of the season, several participants were eliminated — among them: Ashnoor Kaur, Zeishan Quadri, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar, Nehal Chudasama, Baseer Ali, Abhishek Bajaj, Natalia Janoszek, Neelam Giri, Kunickaa Sadanand, Mridul Tiwari as well as the two wild-cards: Shehbaz Badesha and Malti Chahar.
Finale: Timing & How to Watch
The grand finale is scheduled for 7 December 2025.
For viewers online — the show will stream live on JioHotstar starting at 9:00 PM IST.
For television viewers — the finale will be broadcast on Colors TV at 10:30 PM IST.
Earlier in the season the regular broadcast slot was 10:30 PM on Colors TV and 9 PM on JioHotstar, but for the finale the timing has been adjusted: TV airing is now moved up by one and a half hours.
Voting lines opened before the finale — fans could cast their votes to support their favourite finalist. According to reports, the winner will be determined solely by public voting.
Prize, Trophy & What’s at Stake
The winner of Bigg Boss 19 is expected to receive a cash prize of ₹50 lakh. In addition to cash, media reports suggest the champion might also get a brand-new car. The trophy for this season has already been unveiled — designed to reflect the season’s theme: shaped like two folded hands inside a house.
Winning Bigg Boss 19 not only brings monetary reward, but also huge exposure: the winner is likely to gain increased public visibility, brand endorsements, and perhaps media and career opportunities — typical of past seasons.
What to Expect at the Finale Night
The finale is expected to be a grand affair: along with the winner announcement, the show will feature special moments. According to the article, actors Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday are slated to join Salman Khan on stage — adding Bollywood glamour to the final night.
In addition, there may be performances, emotional throwbacks, and perhaps appearances by eliminated housemates or special guests, making the episode more entertaining and meaningful for fans.
