Family Week has officially begun in the Bigg Boss Season 9 house, bringing a wave of emotions, surprises, and drama. While contestants eagerly look forward to meeting their loved ones after weeks of isolation, Bigg Boss has added a strategic twist this year family time based on earned time cards.

Time Cards Decide Family Interaction
Unlike previous seasons, contestants this time had to fight for their family time through a task. Based on their performance, housemates earned between 15 to 60 minutes. However, in a surprising move, Bigg Boss awarded Tanuja the maximum 60 minutes without making her participate in the task a decision that sparked playful comments in the house, especially from Bharani, who joked that her one-hour session would feel like a whole feature film.
Suman Shetty’s Tearful Reunion
One of the most heartwarming moments came when comedian Suman Shetty reunited with his wife Lasya. Despite receiving only 20 minutes of family time, Suman’s reaction said it all he ran towards his wife, hugged her tightly, and showered her with affection. His concern about his mother’s health and the absence of his son Gautam revealed how deeply he had been missing home.
Lasya reassured him while feeding him his favorite food, turning the moment into one of the sweetest visuals of the season. The couple even danced together, prompting other housemates to cheer around them.
Audience Awaits Sanjana’s Turn
While most contestants are getting their family moments, viewers have been anxiously waiting for Sanjana’s Family Week entry. The shocker came during the weekend episode when host Nagarjuna announced that Sanjana would not be getting a family visit this week a revelation that left both the contestant and fans distressed.
However, reports suggest Sanjjanaa’s family has already reached Hyderabad, fueling speculation that Bigg Boss is holding the moment to build suspense and TRPs.
Tanuja Gets a Special Advantage
Tanuja, who already secured the highest time card, received an additional offer from Bigg Boss she could swap or borrow family time from any housemate if she could convince them within five minutes. Kalyan immediately stepped forward and offered his 15-minute card, insisting he didn’t need the time. The gesture surprised Tanuja, who confirmed repeatedly if he was sure before accepting.
Emotional Roller Coaster for Tanuja
The emotional peak came when Bigg Boss suddenly summoned Tanuja back to the confession room. Expecting trouble, she hesitantly opened the door, only to see her niece standing inside. Tanuja broke down instantly and hugged her tightly.
Minutes later, Tanuja’s sister Pooja also entered the house. Their heart-to-heart conversation revealed how emotionally invested the family had been in Tanuja’s journey. Pooja shared how their mother cries every time Tanuja breaks down on camera and expressed how tough it has been juggling wedding preparations while managing the family’s emotional stress.
Before leaving, Pooja told her sister firmly, “Win the title — that’s the gift I want for my wedding.”
Sanjana’s Silent Suffering Continues
Meanwhile, Sanjana continues to struggle emotionally. Her breakdown intensified after watching a video message from her husband and seeing her kids — especially her infant daughter. Her son’s reluctance to talk to her also added to the emotional burden.
When Bigg Boss denied her family visit, her disappointment grew deeper. Even today, watching another contestant’s niece enter the house pushed her into tears. She confessed that she was losing hope, praying that Bigg Boss would reconsider.
Fans Question Bigg Boss’ Strategy
A recent promo released by the channel teasing Sanjana’s upcoming family visit has triggered mixed reactions online. Some viewers slammed the makers for emotionally torturing her just for drama:
- “Why put her through this much pain?”
- “At least confirm that her family is coming.”
Many fans believe the makers are intentionally delaying her reunion for maximum emotional impact, similar to earlier seasons.
Will Sanjana Finally Meet Her Family?
With reports confirming that her family is already in Hyderabad, fans are now waiting for the moment Bigg Boss finally allows Sanjana to see her children. Until then, the Family Week remains a blend of joy, anxiety, and emotional highs.
