Yashmi Gowda was given the power to save a nominated contestant.
Sonia, who nominated Vishnu Priya claimed that Vishnu Priya’s dressing was causing discomfort to the male contestants.
Currently, the Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8 house is witnessing a heated argument between Vishnu Priya and Sonia. The tension began during the first week when Vishnu Priya asked Sonia a casual question, noticing her closeness with Nikhil. Instead of denying it, Sonia broke down in tears, accusing Vishnu Priya of making inappropriate jokes, which made it seem as if Vishnu Priya was in the wrong. Even the host, Nagarjuna, criticised Vishnu Priya on Saturday.
The conflict escalated during the nominations last Monday. Sonia, who nominated Vishnu Priya claimed that Vishnu Priya’s dressing was causing discomfort to the male contestants. Vishnu Priya questioned who exactly had been troubled by her, to which Sonia responded that everyone in the house had been affected.
Sonia then made a personal remark, saying, “You may not have a family, but I do, and my family is watching me.” Later, Sonia shared with Nikhil and Abhay the reason behind her comments. She explained that the previous day, Aditya had entered the room while Vishnu Priya was changing and felt uncomfortable seeing her in just a blouse. He later apologised to her.
However, observers noted that Vishnu Priya’s clothing didn’t seem inappropriate or uncomfortable, and although she often wore short clothes in the Bigg Boss house, they weren’t as revealing as the outfits she shared on Instagram. Additionally, Sonia’s discomfort seemed to stem from Aditya’s reaction, but Aditya himself hadn’t expressed discomfort.
This week’s nominations brought out eight contestants who are now at risk of eviction. The housemates who are on the verge of being evicted are Vishnupriya, Nainika, Aditya Om, Naga Manikanta, Nikhil Maliyakkal, Prithviraj, Shekar Basha and Kirrak Seetha. The nomination process sparked heated discussions and arguments, leading to some notable clashes.
Nikhil was nominated after an argument over food preparation, while Kirrak Seetha was nominated after a disagreement with Prerana over a garbage bin. Prithviraj also nominated Manikanta and Nainika, which further escalated the drama. Following this, Nikhil nominated Prithviraj and Prerana, which sparked an argument between the two. Despite their seemingly friendly relationship, Nikhil expressed his frustration over the situation and even mentioned that he would prefer to leave the house. Nabi finally nominated Nikhil, adding to the list of potential evictees.
Yashmi Gowda, who was given special powers this week, was given the power to save a nominated contestant and nominate a non-nominated contestant. Exercising this power, Yashmi decided to save Prerana and nominate Vishnupriya, shaking up the list.
