In a TellyChakkar exclusive, it’s been revealed that the traditional captaincy task will be scrapped this season.

Instead, the house will follow a political-style election system, with contestants split into two rival teams. Each week, one contestant will emerge as the leader of the house—but their power won’t be absolute.

Enter the ‘Satta Badal’ task, a clever twist introduced by Bigg Boss to keep the game dynamic and the power structure ever-changing. This task will allow the remaining housemates an opportunity to overthrow the current leader and install a new one—bringing strategy, alliances, and betrayal to the forefront of gameplay.

This political shake-up ties directly into the season’s newly announced theme: Politics. Revealed in a powerful promo by host Salman Khan just two days ago, the theme promises tasks, dynamics, and narratives inspired by real-world power struggles, adding a razor-sharp edge to the already intense environment.

In a landmark move, Season 19 will run for an unprecedented six months, making it the longest season in the franchise’s history.

With fresh rules, innovative challenges, and a theme that mirrors the cutthroat nature of real-life power games, this season is expected to deliver an unrelenting stream of suspense, drama, and raw emotion.

So gear up, because the Bigg Boss house is about to transform into a political battlefield—and only the smartest, strongest, and most strategic will survive. Let the games begin.
