30 Oct
Summary
- No minimum guarantee contracts for 'Bigg Boss 19' contestants
- Casting process involves meeting hundreds of potential candidates over 6 months
- Producers seek diverse personalities, not just famous names, to keep audience engaged

According to the producer of 'Bigg Boss 19', the popular reality show does not offer minimum guarantee (MG) contracts to its contestants. Rishi Negi explains that such financial assurances could make contestants feel 'safe' and less invested in the show, which is not the desired outcome.
The casting process for 'Bigg Boss 19' is an extensive, 6-month exercise, where the team meets and interviews hundreds of potential candidates. The goal is to find the right mix of diverse personalities that can keep the audience continuously engaged throughout the 105-day season. Negi emphasizes that the show is not looking for just famous names, but rather characters with unique traits, approaches, and ways of life.
