The whispers started quietly, a murmur around water coolers and across social media feeds. Now, they’ve erupted into a full-blown roar. The buzz is all about “Bigg Boss 19,” the latest season of the beloved reality show, which is gearing up to launch. And oh, what a launch it promises to be! Host Salman Khan is back at the helm. But the real headline-grabber? Rumors suggest that none other than former American boxing champion Mike Tyson might be stepping into the famous “Bigg Boss” house.
Imagine the scene: “Iron Mike,” known for his powerful punches and intimidating presence, navigating the daily drama of a reality show. Media reports are rife with claims. Not only will “Bigg Boss 19” feature its usual mix of local celebrities, but international stars are also supposedly joining the fray. The name on everyone’s lips, of course, is Mike Tyson.
A Political Playground on August 24th
“Bigg Boss 19” is set to kick off on Sunday, August 24th. Early promos for the show hint at a surprising political theme this time around. This twist alone promises to make the season even more captivating than usual. However, all eyes are currently on the potential appearance of the legendary boxer. Word has it that the show’s producers have already reached out to him.
Negotiations Are Underway
According to various media outlets, show creators are deep in talks with Mike Tyson and his team. The plan isn’t for him to become a full-time contestant. Instead, the former heavyweight champion is expected to appear as a special guest for about a week to ten days.
A report from the Free Press Journal, quoting sources close to “Bigg Boss 19” who spoke to the Times of India, confirmed these discussions. “We are in intensive discussions with Tyson and his team,” a source revealed. “We are currently negotiating his fees. If we can seal the deal, we anticipate he will enter the house sometime in October.”
Where to Catch the Show
It’s clear that Tyson would be a guest, not a long-term housemate. The reason for bringing in such a high-profile international figure is simple. The show hasn’t had an international contestant for quite some time. Producers remember how much an international presence boosted the show’s popularity in past seasons. “Bigg Boss 19” will be available for viewing on Colors TV and streaming on Jio Hotstar.
