The popular reality TV show Bigg Boss, hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, is set to return soon with its 19th season in 2025. For months, there were ongoing rumors about the show’s future. Some said Salman Khan might not return as the host, while others claimed the show might be canceled altogether.
However, all rumors have been put to rest, and the makers have now started preparing actively for Bigg Boss Season 19. As expected, the upcoming season will once again bring in some controversial personalities, which usually helps the show achieve higher TRP ratings.
A Controversial Name in Talks
This year, one name has grabbed special attention. According to recent updates, Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, has been approached by the Bigg Boss team to join the show. While this news has created a lot of buzz, no official confirmation has been made so far.
It’s not the first time Bigg Boss has invited a controversial celebrity. In the past, several such personalities have been featured on the show. One notable example was in Season 5 (2011), when adult film star Sunny Leone made her debut on Indian television through Bigg Boss. Her entry helped the season become extremely popular and widely watched.
What Was the Raj Kundra Controversy?
In 2021, Raj Kundra was involved in a serious controversy. He was accused of producing adult content through one of his companies. He also came under investigation for money laundering. Following these allegations, he was arrested but was later granted bail.
After this incident, both Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra distanced themselves from the film industry. Raj Kundra even avoided media attention by wearing a mask over his face in public appearances. This continued for quite some time. However, in recent times, he has stopped covering his face in public, indicating a possible comeback into the limelight.
As Bigg Boss 19 prepares to launch, fans are curious to see whether Raj Kundra will truly become part of the show. If confirmed, his presence is expected to bring a lot of attention and controversy—something Bigg Boss is famously known for.
