Bigg Boss2 : Is Nani really watching the show ?
Unlike NTR who gained positive image with his hosting in Bigg Boss show season 1, Nani seems to be losing his fame and earning bad feedback instead. Nani is being trolled and blamed for allegedly biased talks and favoritism towards some housemates.
It is heard that Nani doesn’t even know completely on what is going on in the house and the response from the public on the happenings. Being busy with his Devadas shooting, Nani is heard to be taking a brief description on his Saturday’s show on that day itself before recording.
If this is all true, Nani is not watching all the episodes, instead hired a team of scriptwriters from a private channel for that job. There is a strong allegation that these scriptwriters are not being loyal and are guiding Nani in a wrong direction with their biased writings.
As it is evident that the games and show turned one-sided, Bigg Boss organizers too are rumored to be working to bring the balance back through Nani, by keeping him in the dark about their intention. Not just this, there are rumors that Nani is shooting for Sunday’s episode on Saturday evening due to his busy schedules, which is giving more scope for leakage on eliminations.
Nani signed up for Bigg Boss amid his super busy schedules only to earn fame through it. But his busy schedules are not giving him at least an hour a day to keep up with Bigg Boss daily happenings and depending completely on scriptwriters earned him a very bad feedback each week. It is also heard that Nani decided to take up some serious measures to put down negativity on him as Bigg Boss host and stay away from Bigg Boss after finishing these four weeks.
Bigg Boss 2 Eliminations: Look Who is in Danger Zone ?
Bigg Boss season 2 is getting closer to the finale. It is just a couple of weeks away from entering the final week. Competition is getting fiercer with ten contestants still in the game.
Four out of them have been nominated for eliminations this week. Kaushal, Tanish, Deepthi Nallamothu and Pooja Ramachandran are in danger of elimination.
But according to the voting trends, Pooja Ramachandran is likely to get evicted this week. Pooja who entered as wild card entry in the seventh week couldn’t impress much apart from being active during tasks.
Her hyper aggressive attitude and unnecessary shouting against other contestants came under the radar, which didn’t earn her any fans.
Bigg Boss hoped Pooja to play smart as she is aware of the happenings outside. The goal was to sideline Kaushal and keep Pooja in the limelight, but that hasn’t happened.
With eliminated contestants like Babu Gogineni, Sunaina and Tejaswi supporting Tanish and Deepthi Nallamothu getting some support from Kaushal fans and Geetha fans, it is Pooja that is in immediate danger.
She will be the one who would walk out of the house this week unless something sensational happens in the next couple of episodes to boost her votes.

The talk of early elections to the Telangana state assembly in the wake of the emerge cabinet meeting called for by Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhara Rao on Wednesday evening has kept Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on high alert.Naidu held a telephonic talk with his party leaders in Telangana and discussed the strategies to be adopted in the event of early elections in the state.
He asked suggestions from the Telangana TDP leaders over the possibility of forging alliances with the like-minded parties during the elections.He is learnt to have asked the Telangana unit to suggest a partner to work with that can stop the BJP regaining power at the centre.“We shall work out the strategies and inform our party president. We are ready for the early elections. The party’s vote bank in Telangana is still intact,” Telangana TDP president L Ramana said on Wednesday.
Since it has parted ways with the BJP, the Telangana TDP has no options but to join hands with the Congress.The latest bonhomie between the Congress and the regional party particularly during its fight for Special Category Status for Andhra Pradesh has further strengthened the alliance talk.The TDP has also planned three major public meetings in Telangana for the start, to mobilize its cadre.
The Congress, too, prefers to join hands with the TDP because it needs the support of Seemandhra settlers in Telangana.
Bigg Boss : Double Elimination This Weekend
This weekend is going to be pretty intense and nerve-wracking in the Bigg Boss house. Tough competitors like Kaushal and Tanish are in the elimination zone along with Deepthi Nallamothu and Pooja following the tasks given to them by the Big Boss this week.
And here’s an interesting update. Not one, but there will be two eliminations from the Bigg Boss house this Sunday. Last weekend, Tanish’s close housemate Deepthi Sunaina exited the show. Kaushal Army is miffed with Tanish since a long time and it remains to be seen whether Tanish will be voted down in this week’s nomination.
On the other hand, Kaushal has again found himself in the nominations and he has been targeted by Nani in the last weekend episode. Deepthi Nallamothu was saved on a couple of occasions from being eliminated in the previous episodes. And this will be Pooja’s first elimination weekend, and what will happen eventually is something to watch out for this Sunday.
Audience Banned Award Winning Actor!
Malayalam actor Dileep is accused in an actress’ molestation case and that did not change his fans’ feeling in the hero. His film released when he was in jail, turned a blockbuster proving the same. But it is not the same for an actor in Hollywood after he is accused of rape and sexual assault. We are not talking about the law there, but the judgment of the audience shows how much they hate him.
Many of us must have known the American film actor, two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey and accusations on him from many women and men through the #metoo campaign. The actor is accused of assaulting and taking advantage of many other actors until recent past. When Kevin Spacey admitted that he ‘might’ have assaulted some actors when he was drunk, many filmmakers removed him from their films and even the most famous Netflix TV series House of Cards too has shown his way out. The biggest shock for him is when the audience rejected him completely when his ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ released. The film collected just $618 in one week!!
It is the amount earned when six people watched the film each day in eleven theatres on average, which leaves many other theatres empty. This shows how serious issue a sexual assault is for an average American audience. Is this even possible in our country on any day in future, where the hero worship dominates everything else?
