Bigg Boss Telugu 9: Return of the forsaken; Madhuri and Rithu lock horns during nominations

In the latest episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 9, the evicted contestants returned to the house to nominate the current housemates for the week.The episode featured nominations by Priya Shetty, Flora Saini, Maryada Manish, and Dammu Srija. When Srija entered the house, she briefly chatted with the housemates about their gameplay. However, Bigg Boss reminded her that she was there solely for nominations.To everyone’s surprise, she nominated Kalyan and drove a dagger into his archery board. She confronted him, asking, “Are you a womanizer? If not, why didn’t you defend yourself when Nagarjuna sir played the video of Ramya calling you a roadside Romeo? And why didn’t you nominate Tanuja?”Kalyan explained that Ramya had already apologized to him and assured him it wouldn’t happen again. As for not nominating Tanuja, he said he didn’t want to waste a nomination on her since she was already up for similar reasons.Srija countered, “So, is it okay to assassinate someone’s character and then just apologize later?” She added that Kalyan avoided nominating Tanuja only to maintain a good image in front of her, since Tanuja had supported him when Ramya questioned their bond. Srija also criticized his previous nomination of Sanjana, calling it “weak and safe.”She then handed the second dagger to Madhuri, expressing curiosity about whom she would nominate. Madhuri chose Rithu, accusing her of breaking her trust by handing over her money to support Demon Pavan and help him become a captaincy contender.Rithu defended herself, saying it was her decision to give her money to whomever she wanted. Madhuri retorted that Rithu had failed to play an individual game after promising she would. Rithu then questioned why Madhuri was so fixated on her and Pavan’s bond when everyone in the house shared their own friendships.Madhuri shouted back, claiming that everyone else’s bonds were pure, whereas theirs was “impure and unhealthy.” A heated argument ensued between the two, eventually cooling down after the housemates intervened.
