Who will be the Bigg Boss 19 contestants this year?
It is interesting to note that Salman will host for the first 15 weeks of the show's five-month run before other well-known personalities take over. There are rumours that Anil Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Farah Khan alternate hosting due to Khan's busy schedule. According to one report, 'Since the show will primarily stream online, it's being treated as an OTT extension".
As for the contestants, names like social media founder Faisal Shaikh, actors Ram Kapoor and Gautami Kapoor, Dheeraj Dhoopar, Munmun Dutta, Ashish Vidyarthi, and contestants Apoorva Mukhija and Purav Jha from "The Traitors" are already making the rounds. On the other hand, the casting has 'not' been officially confirmed yet.
Bigg Boss 19: Additional details
"The casting process has already begun, and celebrities across professions are being approached. While Salman Khan will return as the host, given that the season is longer, and he already has the Battle of Galwan shoot lined up, an alternate host might be brought in to carry on his duties in his absence", according to a source quoted by India Today.
It was decided that "Bigg Boss" would have only one season, rather than separate TV and OTT shows, following disputes between Banijay Asia and Colours TV. This year, JioHotstar will be in charge of production, rather than Colours TV, and the channel will serve as an airing partner.
However, Colours and Banijay also intend to put aside their disagreements and work together to regain Khatron Ke Khiladi, which is a priority project for both sides.

Rubina Dilaik, Abhinav Shukla support Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand; says 'Working hours have to be respectful, everyone should get time to rest'
Actors Rubina Dilaik and husband Abhinav Shukla believe that there is a need to introduce respectful working hours in television. Rubina is a well-known name in the television industry and has been a part of shows such as "Chotti Bahu" and "Saas Bina Sasural". She was also the winner of the popular reality show "Bigg Boss" season 14. While Shukla has featured in shows like "Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka", "Chhoti Bahu" and "Diya Aur Baati Hum". "This (working hours) has been a struggle even when I was new to the industry, but very rarely are we heard. If we voice our concern about it, then it becomes news... But working hours have to be respectful," she told PTI in an interview. The debate around the need for regulated working hours began following reports that Deepika Padukone 's exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's film after a disagreement over her demand for an eight-hour shift. Dilaik said there were days when she worked for over 17 hours in the industry. "I'm not saying this because I'm an actor. If I become a producer, I shall ensure that my people work within eight hours. I'll create a system wherein we do meaningful and good work within eight hours, and it's a win-win thing for everyone. "Having said that, I've been working for 17 hours.

Shukla said there are many professions that require extra hours but it's wrong if one is forced to do it and doesn't get paid for it. "You cannot bind someone saying, 'You work for eight hours only'. A police officer, a traffic cop or a doctor works for more than 16 to 18 hours, even pilots and our jawans work for long hours. So, till the time it is not being forced, and you're doing it because you've agreed to, then there's no harm in it. If someone forces you and even doesn't pay you, then it's wrong,' he said.
