The ninth season of Bigg Boss Telugu has finally begun, and as host Nagarjuna promised, it is not going to be a “chess match” but a full-fledged “war match.” True to his words, the first day itself witnessed heated arguments, emotional outbursts, and high-voltage drama among contestants.
Bigg Boss Shakes Things Up: Celebrities vs. Commoners
This season, Bigg Boss introduced a dramatic twist by reversing roles inside the house. Celebrities were treated as commoners, tasked with cooking, cleaning, and following orders, while commoners were elevated to a celebrity-like status. To make things tougher, Bigg Boss restricted the celebrities from entering the main house and even limited their privileges, sparking tension right from the start.
Food Turns into a Battlefield
The first major clash arose during mealtime. Bigg Boss instructed celebrities to cook food but not eat it, instead serving it to the commoners. The celebrities were left staring at plates of food without being allowed a single bite.
This did not sit well with Mask Man Harish, who expressed his anger openly. Calling it unfair, he declared he would not eat until the celebrities were fed. In a touching moment, he even grabbed bananas to share with them, calling them his brothers. However, Bigg Boss quickly intervened and reprimanded him for breaking the rules.
Harish’s Emotional Side
Harish’s strong reaction didn’t stop there. The sight of his fellow contestants going hungry moved him to tears, showing his emotional side. Though Bigg Boss initially stood firm, he eventually softened by sending food for the celebrities separately. The incident made Harish stand out as both a rebel and a sensitive soul on day one itself.
When Jokes Went Wrong
In the middle of all this, comedian Immanuel tried to lighten the mood with jokes. Unfortunately, his choice of words created more trouble. Referring to Harish as “Bald Uncle”, Immanuel triggered a heated response.
At first, Harish ignored it, but repeated remarks pushed him over the edge. He retorted sharply, warning Immanuel not to disrespect him. What began as comedy quickly escalated into an argument, making the house atmosphere even more tense.
The Body Shaming Warning
Realizing that Harish was upset, Immanuel apologized, but the issue didn’t end there. Harish firmly warned him against body shaming and set clear boundaries. His words were strong he wouldn’t tolerate anyone trying to make fun of his looks or age. This confrontation became one of the first major controversies of the season.
The Bald Look Challenge
Interestingly, Harish’s bald appearance has its own Bigg Boss story. In an Agnipariksha challenge, he was asked to shave half his head as part of the game. Without hesitation, he accepted the challenge. Later, actress Bindu Madhavi, impressed by his courage, shaved his head completely, giving him a striking new look for the season.
Harish: The Stranger of Bigg Boss 9
Adding to the drama, Harish has been assigned the role of a stranger in the house. On the very first day, he showcased multiple sides of his personality — his love for food, his emotional vulnerability, his anger at mockery, and his rebellious spirit. When asked about his age, he mysteriously said he didn’t remember, further deepening his stranger identity.
From fights over food to heated arguments about respect, Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 wasted no time in delivering drama. Contestant Harish has already become the highlight of the opening episode with his boldness, emotions, and unpredictable reactions. If the first day is anything to go by, Nagarjuna’s words are already proving true this season will indeed be a war match, not just a game.
