Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 kicked off last week with 15 contestants, bringing together a mix of celebrities and commoners. The makers have added extra spice this season, introducing bold tasks, emotional drama, and unexpected twists right from the start. Within just one week, the show has already become the talk of Telugu television.
The first week inside the house saw plenty of highlights. Contestant Emmanuel emerged as a crowd favorite with his sharp wit and comedic timing, while rumors of a budding connection between Ritu Chowdhary and Pawan Kalyan Padala sparked curiosity among viewers. Meanwhile, Sanjana Galrani made headlines after being chosen as the first captain of the house, a position that immediately put her in the spotlight.
However, not all contestants managed to leave a strong impression. Despite entering the show with big expectations, Shrashti Varma failed to connect with both audiences and fellow housemates. Her limited participation and emotional inconsistencies cost her crucial votes, making her the first contestant to be eliminated from Bigg Boss 9 Telugu.
The eviction came as a surprise, especially because host Nagarjuna Akkineni had earlier joked during the premiere that he would love to collaborate with Shrashti on a project once she left the house. At the time, Shrashti confidently replied that she wouldn’t be exiting soon. Yet, in a twist of fate, her journey ended in the very first week.
Before leaving, Shrashti thanked the audience for the opportunity and advised housemates to “stay genuine and play the game with heart.” Her unexpected exit has already set the tone for a dramatic season, reminding contestants that in Bigg Boss, nothing is predictable and every vote counts.
