Baseer Ali, a prominent model, reality show star, and TV actor, has officially joined Bigg Boss Season 19, hosted by Salman Khan. Having previously gained fame through shows like Splitsvilla, Roadies, and Ace Of Space, and an acting stint in Kundali Bhagya, Ali revealed that his participation this season was largely at the behest of the show's makers and his family, who felt he was ready.

Before entering the house, Ali candidly discussed the dark side of reality TV fame, explaining how the sudden attention places contestants on a "pedestal," creating unrealistic expectations. This often leads to struggles as stars try to maintain a luxurious lifestyle they cannot afford, getting "stuck in that loop".

Ali also shared his experiences with heavy trolling, recalling being called a "pine tree" and channels suggesting counter-PR strategies. He addressed the common perception of him being "arrogant," clarifying that this demeanour is a protective mechanism due to his sensitive and emotional nature. Ali asserted that confidence is his "superpower," having consistently opened doors for him, describing himself as a "lone wolf" who thrives on respect and brings considerable "energy" to any environment.
