The nomination drama inside the Bigg Boss 10 Telugu house grew even more intense in Episode 17. The fiery clash between Sudheer Reddy and Srushti remained the biggest topic of discussion, with their disagreement carrying over into the second day of nominations. What started as an argument about the meaning of “freedom” eventually escalated into an ugly confrontation that left the housemates in shock.
The episode opened with the contestants still talking about the explosive fight between Sudheer and Srushti from the previous day. Ram Prasad told Naresh that Srushti ought to be nominated for allegedly making threatening remarks about Sudheer.
He argued that there was no reason to create such a massive scene just because Sudheer had said he could not see Nagarjuna. Ram Prasad also suggested that whenever a chance to nominate Srushti came up, Sudheer should be allowed to present his side of the story.
Meanwhile, Rohith came out in support of Srushti and said there was no need for her to celebrate simply because she had gained her freedom. He also commented that everyone in the house knew who had been following whom.
The following morning, Srushti grew emotional while speaking with Trigun. She said she felt she had been used in certain situations and admitted that she had never been this angry in her entire life. Trigun tried to comfort her but also urged her to express her emotions more forcefully.
He told Srushti that she had not said anything wrong and had simply reacted emotionally after feeling that her character had been questioned.
In another part of the house, Rohith and Mukesh talked about Trigun’s behaviour. Rohith described his game as strategic and said that Trigun appeared to have a calculated approach to every move. Rohith also recalled his experiences with Trigun during the first week, claiming that he had been repeatedly criticised while doing household chores. Ram Prasad and Naresh also discussed Trigun with Debjani.
They suggested that he tends to influence other contestants and use them to further his own game. Mukesh alleged that Trigun was currently influencing Srushti, while Rohith compared his approach to the way he had previously influenced Vamsi.
Amid the rising tension in the house, Varshini and Mukesh were seen comforting each other in the washroom area. The two hugged and offered emotional support to one another before the nomination process resumed.
The nomination process continued with Trigun’s round. Mukesh was given the chance to nominate a contestant and chose Charan. The decision led to a brief disagreement between Mukesh and Charan as they argued over the reasons behind the nomination.
During the final round, Bigg Boss allowed Vamsi to open the covers, which gave Shalini the power to nominate another housemate. Without much hesitation, Shalini chose Varshini, referring to their earlier disagreements. Shalini accused Varshini of creating conflicts to stay visible on screen. She also alleged that Varshini was being influenced by others and criticised her performance as a sanchalak, claiming that she had made rules according to her convenience and favoured certain contestants. Varshini strongly disagreed and hit back, saying that tasks were not the only aspect of the Bigg Boss game and that everything contestants did from the moment they entered the house mattered.
The biggest confrontation of the episode began when Shalini allowed Srushti to make her second nomination. As expected, Srushti chose Sudheer. Srushti accused Sudheer of using other people for his own benefit. She claimed that Sudheer had initially approached her, spent time with her, and maintained a close relationship before suddenly distancing himself. She also said that she was no longer interested in having anything to do with him.
Sudheer patiently listened to her accusations before responding. He maintained that he had never followed Srushti, harassed her, or spoken to her disrespectfully. Srushti questioned Sudheer about why he had used the word “freedom” during their earlier argument. Sudheer explained that he had only meant that he wanted to concentrate on his own game.
He said the word had been misunderstood and insisted that there was no hidden intention behind his statement. He also recalled Srushti allegedly threatening him and calling him names during their previous confrontation. Sudheer said that he had never faced such harsh words from a woman in his life. He further admitted that he may have made a mistake by becoming close to her and suggested that the situation had escalated because of outside influence.
The confrontation became increasingly heated when Trigun intervened in the argument. Sudheer continued to defend himself and said that Srushti should focus on playing her own game. He also insisted that his only intention behind using the word “freedom” was to concentrate on his journey inside the Bigg Boss house.
The argument eventually took an ugly turn when Srushti threw garbage at Sudheer’s face during the confrontation. Despite the provocation, Sudheer remained composed and chose not to retaliate. He responded by saying that everyone encounters dust and dirt in life and that one simply takes a bath and moves on.
The incident left several housemates visibly shocked, while the atmosphere inside the house became extremely tense.
At the end of the nomination process, Bigg Boss announced the contestants who were nominated for the week. The nominated housemates are Vamsi, Sudheer, Shalini, Aman, Jhansi, Trigun, Charan, and Varshini. With eight contestants now facing nominations, the competition inside the Bigg Boss 10 Telugu house is set to become even more intense in the coming days.
