The ninth-week nomination process in Bigg Boss 10 Telugu took an intense turn, with personal accusations, broken friendships and heated arguments dominating the latest episode. Mukesh Gowda and Varshini Sounderajan found themselves at the centre of the controversy as several housemates openly questioned their behaviour and gameplay. From Debjani’s emotional confrontation with Mukesh to Trigun’s fiery exchange and Sudheer’s unexpected criticism of his own group, Episode 59 delivered plenty of dramatic moments.
Varshini’s nomination discussions turned into a series of arguments with fellow contestants. She initially targeted Naresh over an incident from the BB Hotel task, questioning why Naresh refused to help Jhansi when she approached him for money.
She alleged that Debjani’s suggestion influenced his decision. Naresh, however, strongly defended himself, explaining that it was his money and he had every right to decide whether to give it away. The argument became more heated when Naresh accused Varshini of repeatedly bringing up the same issue.
Ram Prasad also nominated Varshini, questioning her attitude towards people who appeared friendly with her. He accused her of acting pleasantly in front of others while having different intentions behind their backs, and further questioned her allegation that he had used Naresh for personal benefits.
Varshini responded by pointing out that Ram Prasad had received an advantage from their association, while Naresh had not. Their disagreement highlighted the growing mistrust among housemates.
Another major confrontation took place when Varshini nominated Shiva. She reminded him of his earlier statement about breaking her alliance and argued that his strategy had eventually contributed to Jhansi’s exit from the house. Shiva rejected her allegations and blamed Mukesh’s behaviour for Jhansi’s elimination. He also denied emotionally targeting anyone, insisting that the contestants were responsible for their own actions.
The exchange quickly turned into a heated argument, with neither contestant willing to accept the other’s explanation.
One of the most talked-about moments of the episode involved Debjani and Mukesh. Debjani nominated Mukesh, expressing serious disappointment over his alleged remarks about her and Shiva.
She questioned his thinking and stressed that a contestant’s behaviour and personality mattered more than physical performance in tasks. The controversy reportedly centred on Mukesh suggesting that Shiva was following Debjani around. The comment upset Debjani, who strongly objected to the personal nature of the remark. Her emotional response included a pointed statement: “I pity you, Mukesh.” Shiva also reacted angrily, questioning how Mukesh could make such comments about a woman. He made it clear that he considered the remarks unacceptable.
The rivalry between Trigun and Mukesh became one of the biggest highlights of the nomination episode. Trigun strongly criticised Mukesh over his comments about Debjani, accusing him of crossing personal boundaries and questioning his understanding of respect and relationships. Mukesh refused to back down and fired back at Trigun, making another controversial statement by calling him harmful to society.
The exchange soon turned into a battle of egos, with both contestants attacking each other’s personalities and approaches to the game. Trigun also brought up Mukesh’s friendship and ethics, arguing that his words and behaviour had damaged his credibility inside the house.
Mukesh delivered another powerful dialogue while confronting Trigun. Remembering Rohit’s earlier challenge, Mukesh declared that he would accomplish what Rohit could not achieve inside the Bigg Boss house. He also promised to defeat Trigun and continue the battle on Rohit’s behalf. The statement added another dimension to their rivalry, especially after Rohit’s recent elimination. Mukesh’s declaration is likely to attract attention from Rohit’s supporters and could make the competition between the two contestants even more intense.
An unexpected development came when Sudheer appeared to distance himself from Mukesh and Varshini. Speaking to Naresh, Sudheer expressed disappointment over Mukesh’s comments during the nomination process.
He revealed that he had repeatedly warned Mukesh not to lose control or use inappropriate language. Sudheer also accused Varshini of provoking Mukesh from behind rather than allowing him to handle the situation independently. He questioned the difference between Debjani’s approach to the game and Mukesh’s attitude, suggesting that contestants should maintain their dignity instead of creating unnecessary controversies. This development raised questions about whether Sudheer’s friendship with Mukesh was beginning to weaken.
The nomination discussions made it increasingly clear that Mukesh and Varshini were facing strong opposition from multiple contestants. While Varshini had to defend her decisions against Naresh, Ram Prasad and Shiva, Mukesh faced criticism from Debjani, Shiva, and Trigun. The growing number of confrontations could affect their standing in the house, particularly during a crucial stage of the competition. However, whether these arguments will influence audience voting remains to be seen.
