Bigg Boss 19: Shehbaz Badesha enters the show as first wild card, Promises to play his own way

Bigg Boss 19 has already set the tone for high drama and strong personalities, and now the show welcomes its first wild card contestant—Shehbaz Badesha. Popularly known as the brother of Shehnaaz Gill, Shehbaz is ready to make his own mark in the house and has entered with confidence and charm.

At 34, Shehbaz has carved his own journey outside television. Born and raised in Amritsar, he has built a strong presence in the digital world. With close to a million Instagram followers, his content—ranging from humor to music and lifestyle—has earned him a loyal fan base. His natural charisma and relatable personality have already made him a household name on social media.

This season of Bigg Boss, with its unique theme Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar, is all about decisions, alliances, and strategies shaping the game. Shehbaz’s entry as a wild card contestant is expected to bring fresh energy, new challenges, and, of course, added drama.

Proud to be known as Shehnaaz’s brother

Addressing comparisons with his sister Shehnaaz Gill, who rose to fame in Bigg Boss 13, Shehbaz was honest yet clear about his stance. He said, “I don’t feel any pressure as such. I feel proud to be known as Shehnaz’s brother because it’s my own blood at the end of the day. But the audience will support me only if I entertain them, because they’re Shehnaz’s fans. That’s why I’ll entertain everyone my way. Shehnaz is a different personality, and I’m not here to copy anyone, I’ll play my way.”

His words reflect his determination to be recognized for his own personality rather than living in his sister’s shadow.

I don’t feel any pressure as such. I feel proud to be known as Shehnaz’s brother because it’s my own blood at the end of the day

Remembering Siddharth Shukla

During his entry, Shehbaz also spoke about the late Siddharth Shukla, who shared a close bond with his sister Shehnaaz and was one of Bigg Boss’s most beloved winners. He said, “I can’t ever build on his legacy. He was one of a kind, and no one can ever be like him in any way possible. I will win the show only on the basis of my own personality.”

Ready for the Bigg Boss journey

With confidence in his individuality and respect for his roots, Shehbaz is all set to embrace the challenges of the Bigg Boss 19 house. His entry has already created excitement among fans, who are eager to see how he will navigate tasks, conflicts, and friendships.

Whether his charm and wit will win over audiences remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Shehbaz Badesha is here to play his own game.
