Bigg Boss 19 may be known for its backstage scheming, but it seems Baseer Ali, the cool-as-ice reality contender, was already hardened by chaos long before stepping into Salman’s arena, courtesy of his time on the Kundali Bhagya sets.
In an electrifying chat with India Forums, Baseer peeled back the curtain on the soap-world’s cutthroat drama. “There was heavy politics on set,” he declared. It wasn’t everyone, but certain individuals wielded influence with slick smiles and hidden agendas. “They wanted controversy, they wanted drama… like the typical masala.” With unflappable poise, Baseer revealed how he became a calm in the storm: they tried to “bring out the beast inside me,” yet he refused to play their game, pursuing only his own peace.
This behind-the-scenes battleground, he hinted, was unintended coaching for Bigg Boss. In the house, timing and placement matter, he now understands that some emotions are best reserved for the right moment and platform. Indeed, Baseer is no stranger to the gladiator-like realm of reality TV.
With deep roots in Roadies, Splitsvilla, and Ace of Space, he thrives under pressure. Yet, associating drama with scripted fiction came with its own unique challenges, unexpected twists, power plays and narrative engineering unlike anything he’d seen on reality sets.
Now, as the Bigg Boss 19 journey unfolds, fans are watching keenly: Will Baseer’s wartime mindset in melodrama prepare him to outwit, outlast, and rise as a strategic force in reality’s most dramatic ecosystem?
