- The rules are changing. It will be ‘Gharwalon ki Sarkar,’ according to Salman Khan.
- Bigg Boss season 19 will air on JioHotstar at 9 pm and on COLORS TV at 10:30 Indian standard time from August 24.
In Australia, accessing these services is impossible, but missing out on all the drama is UNACCEPTABLE.
In the recent teaser, Salman Khan has mentioned that things are shuffling and the new season will be fresh. The new lineup is also a tease for usual BB fans.
If you are traveling to Australia and feel you will miss the show due to the unavailability of JioHotstar – I have got great news for you.
Nothing is impossible in times like these. With one trick, you can watch Bigg Boss Season 19 from August 24, at 9 pm Indian standard time in Australia by using VPN with Hotstar.
I am most excited about the Big Boss 19 live feed. Things will now make sense because, now you can keep an eye on housemates 24/7.

What is Bigg Boss 19 About?
Inspired by the global Big Brother format, Bigg Boss 19 returns with a new theme: “Gharwalon ki Sarkar” or “Democrazy,” where housemates have more control over decisions. This season’s congress-style setup brings a shift in power dynamics and even updates the iconic Bigg Boss eye logo.
The unique format has led some celebrities like Gaurav Taneja, Jannat Zubair, Ram Kapoor, and Divyanka Tripathi to decline participation. There’s buzz around AI influencer Kavya Mehra joining, and a public vote will decide whether Shehbaz Badesha or Mridul Tiwari enters the house.
