The latest episode of Bigg Boss 9 turned out to be an explosive mix of emotions, confrontations, and competitive intensity. From breakdowns to bold interventions and from heated arguments to unexpected upsets in the captaincy race, the house witnessed one of the most dramatic days of the season.
Rithu Breaks Down After Sanjjanaa’s Remark
Tensions rose when Sanjjanaa made a pointed comment about Rithu and Demon, leaving the house stunned. Deeply hurt, Rithu rushed to the washroom in tears, with Demon following her to console her. He repeatedly assured her that she had done nothing wrong. As Rithu came out, Tanuja stepped in, asking Demon to give her some space, marking the beginning of a strong intervention.
Tanuja’s Pep Talk: “Don’t Give Power to Someone’s Words”
Away from the chaos, Tanuja took time to comfort Rithu with a motivating conversation. “One person’s comment can’t define your character. Believe in yourself and stay focused,” she advised.
Soon, Kalyan joined the conversation, where Rithu revealed her frustration about her bond with Pawan being misrepresented. Tearfully, she asked Deeman whether Pawan’s eviction was because of her. Demon clarified, “He left because of the votes.”
Sanjjanaa Stands Firm Despite Immanuel’s Clarifications
Attempting to clear the air, Immanuel approached Sanjjanaa, but she remained unapologetic. She insisted she only expressed discomfort about Rithu and Demon’s closeness. Even after Immanuel and Suman pointed out that her words were inappropriate and could have been communicated privately, Sanjjanaa refused to step back or admit fault.
Tanuja’s Strong Words for Demon in the Captaincy Room
Later, Tanuja called both Rithu and Demon for a frank discussion regarding their tension. She advised Demon: “Whatever you feel about her is your personal matter, but let her be. She knows her game and stands strong when needed.” She also pointed out that Demon seemed possessive and needed to keep such emotions aside for the remaining weeks.
Rithu Calls Out Demon; He Responds Emotionally
During the conversation, Rithu expressed her concerns: “You turn small things into big issues and discuss our matters like a judge.” Demon, feeling hurt, said, “You ignore my feelings… When have you comforted me?” Rithu calmly stated that their personalities differ and walked away.
Another Attempt to Reason With Sanjana Falls Flat
Once again, Immanuel and Bharani tried explaining why her nomination comment was inappropriate. They reminded her that a private conversation would have avoided unnecessary drama. But Sanjana held her ground, calling it “part of the game.”
Sanjana Ready to Apologize – But On One Condition
The next morning, Demon encouraged Sanjana to apologize and move on. Sanjana agreed but only if Rithu apologized first, claiming Rithu had previously used a disrespectful phrase toward her. “If she apologizes, I will too. I didn’t lie,” she stated.
Captaincy Race Intensifies: Bharani’s Emotional Exit
With the finale approaching, the captaincy race tightened further. Among the remaining nine contestants, Bharani was the only one who had never been captain. His daughter had emotionally urged him to win the title during Family Week, making this chance even more significant. To add excitement, ex-contestants entered the house to conduct tasks.
Priyanka Jain Selects Kalyan – He Wins First Captaincy Spot
Season 7 finalist Priyanka Jain made a lively entry, energising the contestants. She picked Kalyan for the first task, and he won the “Something Fishy” challenge, securing the first contender position.
Gautam Krishna Beats Bharani in Task 2
Season 8 runner-up Gautam Krishna arrived next, stylish in his signature panchakattu attire. Wanting to give Bharani a fair chance, he chose him as his opponent. However, in the “Fast and Correct” task, Gautam emerged victorious, ending Bharani’s hopes.
A heartbroken Bharani broke down, saying: “My daughter wanted me to be captain… I tried. Sorry honey… sorry amma… sorry everyone.” The housemates rushed to comfort him.
