Clad in a politician’s ensemble, Salman is seen addressing viewers against a set designed to echo the Indian Parliament, as he announces the game’s reinvention. “Aisa pehli baar hua 18–19 saalon mein. This time, Bigg Boss won’t be about crazy drama, but about democracy,” he declares in the trailer. He goes on to explain that for the first time in nearly two decades, all decisions, major and minor, will be made by the housemates themselves.

The host’s signature style remains intact, as he delivers a cheeky warning, “So housemates, do whatever you want to do, man, but be ready for the consequences and the public, because this time in Bigg Boss, it's the Gharwaalon ki Sarkaar.”

In a statement released alongside the trailer, Salman elaborated on the theme. “Bigg Boss every season is different, but this time, the tables have turned. Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar ka matlab hai power unke haath mein, aur jab power milti hai, toh asli chehre saamne aate hain,” he said, adding that although the contestants are being given full control, each decision they make will carry consequences. “Main hamesha kehta hoon, tameez se khelo, par yeh log tameez chhod ke drama le aate hain,” he added with his trademark flair.
