The countdown is over- Bigg Boss Season 19 premieres on August 24, 2025, promising a brand-new dose of drama and entertainment. This year’s theme is “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar” , where the Bigg Boss house is transformed into a political battleground.
The set has been redesigned as a cabin-in-the-woods with a unique Assembly Room, where contestants will play lawmakers, form alliances, and debate strategies. Adding to the twist, reports say AI elements and more power for contestants will shake up traditional evictions and tasks, making the show more unpredictable than ever.
But while fans look forward to the new season, it’s impossible to forget the controversies that made Bigg Boss a household name.
1. When Bigg Boss Fights Turned Violent
Bigg Boss has always been about heated arguments, but some fights went out of control:
- Armaan Kohli (Season 7) was arrested after allegedly hitting Sofia Hayat during a fight.
- Swami Om (Season 10) shocked viewers when he threw urine on contestants during a task.
- Madhurima Tuli (Season 13) attacked Vishal Aditya Singh with a frying pan, which led to her eviction.
These moments are still counted among the most shocking Bigg Boss fights in history.
2. Bigg Boss Love Affairs and Secret Relationships
Love stories often grab headlines, but some created scandals:
- In Season 13, Salman Khan exposed Arhaan Khan’s secret marriage and child in front of Rashami Desai, leaving the actress heartbroken.
- In Season 12, Anup Jalota and Jasleen Matharu entered as a couple, but later Jalota denied their relationship, calling it a “publicity stunt.”
Such moments made viewers question whether Bigg Boss love stories were real or scripted.
3. Salman Khan Losing His Cool on Contestants
Host Salman Khan has often stepped in when contestants crossed the line.
- He blasted Imam Siddique, Swami Om, Kushal Tandon and Zubair Khan for abusive or disrespectful behaviour.
- Zubair Khan even filed a complaint against Salman, accusing him of threatening his career.
These incidents added to the legend of Salman as the strict Bigg Boss host who doesn’t tolerate nonsense.
4. Contestants Escaping from the Bigg Boss House
The locked Bigg Boss house can get too much for some. Contestants like Rahul Mahajan, Kushal Tandon, and Vikas Gupta tried to escape, breaking the strict rules of confinement. These escape attempts became huge talking points in their seasons.
5. Allegations of Bias and Scripted Drama
In recent seasons, many fans have accused the makers of favouritism and biased editing. Social media discussions often claim that some contestants are shown in a positive light, while others are targeted unfairly. These allegations of scripted Bigg Boss content have sparked debates about whether the show is truly real.
6. Political and Cultural Backlash
Bigg Boss has also faced controversies outside the house:
- Season 4 invited protests after Pakistani contestants joined the show.
- The show was forced to move to a late-night slot by the I&B Ministry over “indecent content,” though it later returned to prime time.
While Bigg Boss and controversies are synonymous to each other, the truth is, these controversies are what keep Bigg Boss alive and trending. Whether it’s ugly fights, shocking revelations, or Salman Khan’s scoldings, the show thrives on drama. As Bigg Boss 19 begins, the big question remains- will this season top the biggest controversies of the past?
