Bigg Boss Telugu 3: From Tamanna Simhadri to Hema, a look at the controversial contestants of this season

Nagarjuna Akkineni’s Bigg Boss Telugu season 3 has been launched amidst several controversies. Adding to the drama and curiosity over the show, here’s a quick look at the controversial contestants of the ongoing third season.

The wildcard entry of the first transgender contestant of the reality TV series in Telugu has taken the world by surprise. The transwoman entered the house with a promise to emerge as a role model to the transgender community. However, her provocative game is not going well with the housemates and fans like. Right from day 1, she started influencing others with negative propaganda against Varun and Mahesh. In the recent episodes, she launched a personal attack on Ravikrishna besides alleging the housemates of targeting her. Netizens are even asking for a mid-week elimination of Tamanna now.

He along with wife Vithika Sheru entered the show as the first celebrity couple. He is one of the shrewdest contestants on the show. Right from his spat with Mahesh over allegedly misbehaving with Vithika to the allegations of 'groupism' in the house, Varun has always been in the eye of the storm. Before leaving the house, the recently evicted contestant Jaffar asked Varun not to target Baba Bhaskar. This speaks volumes about his game.

Initially, she came across a timid yet affable and compassionate contestant in the house. She eventually got close to Varun, Vithika, Rahul and even shared her tragic love story with the housemates. However, she is often nominated for eviction citing her reserved and aggressive nature as a reason. She first grabbed headlines with her tiff with Vithika in the cycling task and the recent episode where she lashed out the housemates and nominated herself for eviction has created a stir.

This popular playback singer is often admired for his dashing and no-nonsense attitude. However, he can behave quite aggressively in no time just like he did in the issue with Hema. He questioned Hema’s dominance in the kitchen and did not hesitate to holler at her. Though he grabbed headlines for his romantic conversation with Punarnavi for a while, Rahul is back to being his aggressive self when it comes to condemning the inappropriate behaviour of Tamanna Simhadri.

The ace TV host’s reasons for nomination in the first round of eviction rubbed her good friend Himaja on the wrong side. This created ripples in the house. Though Hema sided with her in the issue, Sreemukhi was not happy with Hema either. Post her controversial eviction, Hema went on to allege that Sreemukhi twisted her conversations and acted nice with everyone to stay in their good books. Though she doesn’t pick fights like some of her co-inmates do, she shares the blame for some of the major fights in the house. While some say she is genuinely nice, some claim she can be dangerous too.

The internet sensation was sensational in the house as well. The way he justified his presence in the house and hit back at Ravikrishna for the racist comments against him was appreciated all over. He turned out to be the most promising contestants of the show with his stance against Hema but he was soon criticized for his behaviour with Varun Sandesh and Vithika as well. He is aggressive, quick-witted and talented with an ability to read the game well. Of late, Mahesh is proving to the world that he can also influence others as well.

The controversial actress is often vocal about issues pertaining to the film industry. The actress-turned-politician has political ambitions and she considered Bigg Boss house as a testing platform. Before she could unleash her potential in the house, she grabbed headlines for siding with Sreemukhi in the elimination exchange task. Hema could sail through it but it did not last for long. Her dispute with Rahul over her alleged dominance in the kitchen eventually led to her eviction within just one week. She is the first evicted contestant of the season and her eviction took everyone including herself by surprise.
