King Akkineni Nagarjuna will be hosting this season with new and energetic contestants. Following the success of the seventh season, the eighth season of this reality show has generated significant anticipation among fans and binge-watchers. Additionally, the introduction of a diverse group of participants has further fueled excitement for each episode. The final episode of the show was streamed on December 15, 2024, which showcased Nikhil Maliyakkal as the winner of this season. Actor Ram Charan graced the occasion to announce the winner.
Updates
Nikhil Maliyakkal won the top prize of the show, taking home the Bigg Boss trophy with a cash reward of Rs 55 lakhs and a car. The final episode introduced an unexpected twist, where the last two contestants, Nikhil and Gautham, were given a special offer. However, both chose to decline it. As a result, Ram Charan declared Nikhil as the winner, with Gautham finishing as the first runner-up.
Last week saw a dramatic turn of events with the surprising double eliminations of Vishnupriya and Rohini. It was also the final elimination round before the season finale. So viewers are eagerly awaiting to see who will claim the coveted title and emerge as the season’s winner.
Host Nagarjuna shocked everyone by announcing a double elimination. The first contestant to leave the house was Tasty Teja, who was eliminated on Saturday. On Sunday, Prithviraj followed suit and was also sent home. As the show moves into its final weeks, the competition intensifies with the stakes at an all-time high.
Nagarjuna shocked both Nikhil and Gautham with a huge revelation in Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8. As a result, one of them was immediately nominated for elimination in Week 13. Earlier, Yashmi Gowda had mentioned someone’s name, but she added a surprising twist at the end, dropping a bombshell on him.
As a twist for the upcoming week evicted housemates have returned to nominate two housemates.
Nagarjuna conducted the elimination ceremony, and Hari Teja was evicted. The tension heightened when Gangavva, another contestant, was also eliminated. This double eviction came as a complete surprise, as she was removed from the show due to her minimal involvement in the game.
For the first time, a segment of the audience is calling for Naini Pavani to be eliminated from the show immediately due to her behaviour. Her exit has shifted the dynamics of the game, leaving only the well-liked contestants to compete for the trophy. Moving forward, the competition will intensify, as the makers plan to introduce some critical tasks starting this week.
The Diwali special episode of the show provided a significant boost to the contestants. As anticipated, the episodes concluded with Mehboob’s eviction, but the unexpected twist came with the promo for the upcoming episodes, revealing Avinash’s departure.
The shocking announcement related to the Naga Mankanta elimination left his fans and binge-watchers feeling disappointed. However, it was his self decision to walk out from the Bigg Boss house. He also revealed that he faced challenges with his physical and mental health during his time there.
After the loss of Abhay, the housemates are going strong and they selected this week’s 7 nominees for elimination. Soniya, Manikanta, and Prithviraj have been on the elimination list since 1st week.
The first week has been successfully completed and the housemates are settling in nicely. Your inmates nominated five contestants for the First Week elimination.
The show began with the grand celebration on September 1, 2024. The show is scheduled to air 24/7 on Disney+ Hotstar with the everyday hour-long episode.
The announcement video of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8 has been revealed on YouTube and went viral on social media. It confirms the show contains limitless entertainment along with host Nagarjuna.
