The 43
rd episode of Bigg Boss Telugu starts with Tarak (Jr NTR) inviting Dhanraj on stage and asking the latter to share his experiences in the house. Dhanraj says Bigg Boss has been a training ground for him to face the real world. He also says that Adarsh and Hari Teja are potential winners. All the inmates of the house then appear live on screen and Dhanraj and Tarak interact with them.
Tarak assigns a task to Dhanraj in which he has to associate the inmates with certain mythological characters based on their personality. Dhanraj says Hari Teja is Pothana, Archana is Tataki, Diksha is Kama Pisachi, Navdeep is Bakasurudu, Mumait is Surpanakha, Siva Balaji is Kumbhakarna, Kartheeka is Hidimbi, Adarsh is Narakasurudu and Prince is Bhasmasura.
Tarak then assigns a ‘Big Bomb’ task through Dhanraj. The latter has to nominate two people in the house: the second person will have to be an assistant to the first person and provide red carpet treatment until Bigg Boss halts the task. Dhanraj nominates Adarsh as assistant to Diksha. Before Dhanraj leaves the stage, NTR makes an announcement that stuns Dhanraj: The latter has become father to a baby boy. Dhanraj is overcome with emotion and thanking NTR leaves after performing a jig to the Bigg Boss theme song.
Tarak then says that there are two eliminations this week: a double dhamaka. He announces that Kartheeka has also been eliminated from the house and that Archana is in safe zone. Kartheeka is given 5 minutes to pack her bags and say her goodbyes to the inmates. Kartheeka then exits the house and comes on stage with NTR. She says that she expects Hari Teja to win the Bigg Boss title and that Diksha is probably the most confused person in the house. The inmates then appear live and Kartheeka is given the task of describing the personalities of the inmates in one word. Kartheeka says Archana is being balanced by the rest of the inmates. Hari Teja is out of control when she erupts and doesn’t know what she is speaking. Adarsh is described as both cool and emotional. Mumait is described as ‘Ugadi Pacchadi’, sweet, bitter etc. Navadeep is described as a smart player. Siva Balaji is described as ‘ruler’, a person who believes that whatever he says is right. Prince is ‘inscrutable’ and Diksha is a snail, retreating into her shell constantly whether it is joy or sorrow. Kartheeka then throws a ‘big bomb’ on Siva Balaji. The latter can only use the washroom after everyone else has used it. Kartheeka says this will teach him patience.
The episode culminates with Kartheeka exiting the stage.
