Commoner contestants
Ahead of this year’s Bigg Boss Telugu, ex-Bigg Boss contestants Bindu Madhavi, Navdeep, and Abhijeet judged a pre-show titled Agnipariksha. The show saw 45 participants, whose mental and physical abilities they tested.
15 contestants were picked to go into the house as commoners, but in a sudden turn of events, more were eliminated, with only a few remaining. The list of 15 commoners included Manish, Priya, Anusha, Srija, Pawan, Prasanna, Shreya, Shakib, Swetha, Naga, Kalki, Pavan Kalyan, Harish, Divya, and Dahlia. Divya, Prasanna, Pawan, Shreya, Anusha and Shwetha have gone to the top six.
The first season of Bigg Boss Telugu launched in 2017 with Jr NTR as the host. Nani took over hosting duties for the second season in 2018. Nagarjuna has been the show’s host since its third season in 2019.
