You might be excited as Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss 19 is expected to kick off in the last week of August (industry chatter points to a late-August 2025 launch window, subject to change). A promo shoot with Salman is reportedly happening soon, and the buzz around the contestant lineup is getting louder by the day. This season is likely to run for about five months, so the casting stakes are high.
Amid several names doing the rounds, a new celebrity has been added to the list.
Meera Deosthale Accepts Bigg Boss 19?
According to the latest buzz, popular television actor Meera Deosthale (best known as Chakor from Colors TV’s Udaan) has “accepted the proposal” to join Bigg Boss 10.
The Instagram handle Bigg Boss Khabri posted, “Udaan fame Meera Deosthale has accepted the proposal of joining and she is doing the meetings for the same with makers. Last year also, she was interested, but things didn’t work out due to budget.”
Current chatter suggests she’s in active meetings with the production team to close the deal. If locked, Meera would bring strong TV recall value and an emotionally rooted fanbase to the show. She was reportedly approached for the previous season, but could not move forward because of numbers. This year may finally be the one.
Meanwhile, the first confirmed female contestant (as per inside buzz) is Hyderabad-based YouTuber Priya Reddy, popularly known online as Kirak Khala.
Why Meera Deosthale In BB 19 Is A Smart Call
Meera Deosthale broke through as Chakor in Udaan, where she played a resilient young woman whose fight for dignity struck a chord with viewers across India. The role made her a household name and established her as one of the small screen’s most promising leads. Fans still associate her with strength, sincerity and heart.
Deosthale is also a Gold Award winner and has explored varied characters in shows like Gud Se Meetha Ishq and Kuch Reet Jagat Ki Aisi Hai. In the latter, she played a married woman who pushes back against dowry, even demanding that everything her parents gave be returned to her in-laws. Though the show was short-lived in the TRP race, it sparked conversation and pulled attention for its theme. That “speak up” energy could make her a compelling, truth-telling contestant inside the Bigg Boss house.
