In today’s episode (October 20) of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8, Nagarjuna reminded the housemates that Bigg Boss offers a golden opportunity with free publicity, bringing them closer to the audience.
However, contestant Manikanta, who the audience had saved for seven weeks, decided to leave the show voluntarily, raising his hands in surrender.
Nagarjuna’s Message: Equality in the House
Nagarjuna emphasized that in the Bigg Boss house, everyone is equal there are no differences based on gender or community. This left Nabeel and Mehboob visibly uncomfortable.
Following this, Nagarjuna saved Yashmi and introduced a fun game in which the boys’ team emerged victorious. The dance performances by Vishnu-Prithvi and Yashmi-Gautham were highlights of the game. Later, Nagarjuna saved Nikhil from elimination.
Social Media Memes and Dialogue Dedication Game
The housemates enjoyed a moment of laughter when memes about them were displayed on screen. After saving Nabeel, Nagarjuna introduced the “Dialogue Dedication” game, where contestants had to dedicate dialogues to their fellow housemates.
- Nikhil dedicated a funny dialogue to Prerna, while Hariteja gave a witty one to Nagamanikanta.
- Vishnupriya humorously assigned a “Nannu involve cheyakandi Rao gaaru” dialogue to Gangavva, and Mehboob said Prithvi’s dialogue would be “Tu Samja.. Nai Samja.”
- Gautham playfully dedicated a rule-following dialogue to Nikhil, while Rohini placed a reflective one on Vishnu.
- Yashmi gave Teja a sensitive dialogue, while Nabeel assigned a thoughtful one to Gautham.
Manikanta’s Elimination
As the night progressed, Nagarjuna showed a video revealing Manikanta’s desire to leave the house, asking the housemates whether he should stay or go.
The majority felt it was time for him to leave, and despite being saved by the audience, Manikantha chose to exit.
He left with a smile, comparing his departure to a prisoner being released from jail, stating he could no longer fight and had run out of patience.
After his exit, Nagarjuna played a game with Manikanta on stage, where photos of the housemates were displayed.
He praised Mehboob for having the qualities of a winner but warned others like Nikhil, Prithvi, and Gautham about their need to step up their game.
In the end, Nagarjuna reflected on Manikanta’s decision to leave and asked for forgiveness, as the audience had not voted him out.
