Actress Jyothi became the first contestant to be eliminated from the house of Bigg Boss Telugu reality show on Sunday. She was shown the exit door by host Jr NTR.

Actually, Madhu Priya, Kaththi Karthika, Kathi Mahesh, Hari Teja and Jyothi were nominated for the elimination from the house in the first week. On Saturday, host NTR had even asked Kathi Mahesh to pack his bags and be ready to walk out of the house. Just a few moments later, NTR left everyone baffled by asking Hari Teja and Jyothi to pack their bags. When the contestants were appalled, NTR consoled them saying that the eviction from the house would happen on Sunday but not on Saturday.

And, when the Sunday came, audience were eagerly waiting to find out who would be the first participant to be evicted from Bigg Boss house. After a few fun activities, NTR announced the name of Jyothi as the first participant to be eliminated.

After the eviction, NTR told Jyothi that Bigg Boss is all about expecting the unexpected and that anything could happen at any time. The Host’s remark led to speculations that she might be called back in the house at a later stage as a surprise package.

Talking to the audiences, Jyothi said that what they watch on TV is totally different from what happens inside the house throughout the day, and that there is a suffocating atmosphere inside. She said that she was glad to walk out of the house.

With Jyothi’s eviction, tension among contestants and curiosity among viewers have piqued on who will be the next contestant to be evicted?

Reports are emerging that actress Mumaith Khan might quit the show midway as she has to appear before the SIT in connection with the drugs case. Speculation is that she might be given an entry back in the house after the questioning by SIT as an exception. The makers of the show have not confirmed anything as of yet in this regard.

Spicy beauty Taapsee would not have expected that her fun talk with a youtube channel would embroil into such a huge controversy. This who fiasco explains how celebrities should carefully watch what they do. And now, let’s talk about youngster Akhil.

After making a much-hyped debut, “Akhil” failed at box office miserably and hero Akhil took huge time of 2 years to come up with his next. This time he will be seen in a love story being directed by talented Vikram K Kumar. Other day Akhil shared a picture from the sets where he’s shoving his eye through the view finder to check a shot. That invited the wrong message, however.

Generally, only big heroes do watch through the view finder to find out how it is turning up. For this film, superior talents like director Vikram and ace cinematographer PS Vinod is cranking the camera. With such people around, even on a funny note, if Akhil keeps on checking his shots this way, it shows his handedness and fingering into the work, says netizens.

Though some are saying that Akhil might have just checked his expressions and performance, one can do that in the monitor available there but not through a camera view finder, they say. Just one picture, and it has sent enough wrong messages. Careful Akhil !

As she is scheduled to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on 26th of this month, actress Charmme on Monday morning approached the High Court.

In her petition, Charmme has reportedly requested that only women officials should question her and that her advocate should be by her side during the questioning.

Considering that Prabhas is a pan-India star now and that his new film ‘Saaho’ is being made as a trilingual in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, it was expected to rope in a few actors and technicians from Bollywood.

Another section argue that there will many more characters in the film for which actors from Telugu and Tamil industries will be roped in. In the end, makers should remember that Telugu is the major market for not just Saaho but any Telugu film that aspires global market.

Anushka may play the female lead but there is no confirmation from the makers yet.

Actor Dhanush, who had been maintaining a stoic silence on the ‘Suchi Leaks’ controversy that shook Kollywood earlier this year, has walked out of an interview when he was bombarded with questions related to the controversy.

Dhanush has recently come to Hyderabad to promote his upcoming film ‘VIP 2’. During a promotional television interview, the actor was caught off-guard when the interviewer asked him about Suchi leaks and the rumors about the alleged problems that resulted in his family life.

When the interviewer asked, “The kind of mental agony you underwent,” an irritated Dhanush replied, “Who said I went through mental agony”. He added that he was not answerable about his personal life. After a few seemingly uncomfortable questions, when a question about his family life having been at stake because of the allegations popped up, a baffled Dhanush stormed out of the interview saying, ‘This is a very stupid interview’.

It may be recalled that when a series of controversial pictures and videos of alleged celebrities were leaked on the now-deactivated Twitter page of playback singer and Suchitra earlier this year, Dhanush’s alleged affairs became a hot topic of discussion in South film industry.
