On day 16 of Bigg Boss Telugu, contestants began their day with the title track of Tarak’s ‘Adhurs’ booming out the speaker and were astonished to find a girl swimming in the pool, which they hadn’t used earlier.
Diksha Panth was introduced as a wild card entry to the Bigg Boss house, but the inmates got a tad upset about it.
Diksha entered the swimming pool and tried to cover her face as the house’s new captain, Prince, and Siva Balaji tried to identify her.
Immediately after, Prince came up to Adarsh and asked him to ignore whoever she might be, because she tried to act smart.
For Diksha, the cold shoulder welcome by house members was not something that she had expected. When Prince asked her if she has watched the show so now, Diksha said she seen only a few episodes but remembers nothing. That comment seemed to irk Mahesh Kathi and Prince.
On the other hand, Dhanraj was seen explaining to the house mates about how Diksha had behaved while shooting for a film, which he produced. He revealed that she had thrown many a tantrum and he kept her under control. He also hinted that Diksha is scared of him but was trying to be good to him.
Archana, meanwhile, appeared worried as she discussed with Katthi Kartheeka in the kitchen about her relationship being affected, thanks to the jokes at her expense. During the course of the conversation, Archana suddenly broke down.
Kalpana, who stuck to her bed for the better part of the episode, walked up to a camera to reveal that she was being cornered by her co-contestants for no reason and that the spirit of participation spirit had withered. “Since I have an option, I want to quit,” said Kalpana.
Later, Dhanraj was called to the confession room and enquired about his state of mind, which led the comedian to get emotional. He told Bigg Boss that he is desperate to see or at least hear the voices of his eight-month pregnant wife and two-year-old son, and that his wish be fulfilled. Dhanraj was told that the show’s team had got in touch with his family and are working on making a special video for him. A teary-eyed Dhanraj, who was relieved at Bigg Boss’ response, left a message for his wife and son.
The contestants were asked to nominate two inmates that they wish to save from elimination in the third week. Despite opinions in favour to Sameer and Siva Balaji, Bigg Boss announced that Siva Balaji, Sameer, Mumaith Khan, Kalpana, Dhanraj and Mahesh Kathi were all eligible for eviction. The inmates were left reeling under shock.
Later, Bigg Boss asked the men in the house to welcome Diksha with a dance performance. Using coloured hair, feather stoles as props, the men put up a good performance as they danced to 'Something Something' and 'Come to the Party' songs.
In
tonight’s episode, the team mates will be seen slipping into ethnic attires for a task.
