The atmosphere inside Bigg Boss 9 has turned intense post–Family Week, with contestants subtly shifting their strategies. Bharani, who had received a strong pep talk from Nagababu, seems determined to bring back his aggressive style of play something viewers had been missing for weeks.
Bharani Regains His “Fire Mode”
Acting on Nagababu’s advice, Bharani has been noticeably fiery right from the start of the week. His decision to nominate both Divya and Tanuja raised eyebrows, especially since the trio has a long history of conflicts. Ever since his re-entry, Bharani has been cautious, staying away from unnecessary drama, yet somehow always being pulled back into their disputes.
Bharani and Divya Get Into Another Argument
The latest episode showcased yet another clash between Bharani and Divya. What began as a casual comment quickly spiraled into a full-blown argument.
Divya, who was ironing a shirt, reacted sharply when Bharani said it was better for him to talk less. The conversation escalated with Divya accusing him of misunderstanding her, while Bharani complained that she often starts unrelated arguments. Their back-and-forth grew heated as Divya questioned why he was taking her jokes personally.
Age Topic Sparks Fresh Tension
The disagreement deepened when Divya brought up the age-related joke Bharani had made. Bharani opened up, saying the repeated references to age especially during serious moments were irritating.
He also recalled how Divya interrupted a conversation with Prerana by unnecessarily mentioning her age. Divya insisted she said it casually, but Bharani maintained that repeating the same topic again and again crosses boundaries.
Bharani Offers a Heartfelt Apology
Despite the harsh exchange, Bharani later approached Divya to apologize sincerely. He admitted he shouldn’t have reacted harshly and promised not to repeat the limping-related joke. Divya accepted the apology with a smile, telling him not to overdo the dramatic gestures. Bharani reassured her that he apologizes with genuine humility that’s just his nature.
Captaincy Race: Former Contestants Return With Tough Challenges
Prerana’s Entry Eliminates Tanuja
Season 8 finalist Prerana re-entered the house and chose Tanuja for the “Cross It, Climb It, Rule It” challenge. Although Tanuja desperately wanted to compete with her, Prerana outperformed her with ease, knocking Tanuja out of the captaincy race.
Harika Tests Suman Shetty
Next, Season 4 contestant Detthadi Harika entered the house and selected Suman Shetty for the tower-building task. Despite Harika giving him multiple chances, a nervous Suman failed to complete the task and was eliminated from the race.
Sanjjanaa Attempts to Grab Screen Time
Meanwhile, Sanjjanaa continued her attempts to stay in the spotlight. In a dramatic move, she hid Bharani’s mineral tablets and announced to the camera that she wouldn’t return them no matter how much Bharani pleaded.
Demon Triumphs Over Manas
Toward the end of the episode, actor Manas Nagulapalli entered the house with high energy, even dancing with the housemates. For the “Nail It, Win It” challenge, he selected Pawan (Demon). The competition was fierce, but Demon dominated and secured his spot as a captaincy contender.
Who Will Become the Last Captain of Bigg Boss 9?
So far, Kalyan and Demon are the only two contestants confirmed as contenders. With more ex-contestants expected to return in upcoming episodes, housemates still have a final window to enter the captaincy race. The ultimate battle for captaincy will unfold in Friday’s episode, and viewers are eagerly waiting to see who claims the final captain’s title of Bigg Boss 9.
