Actor Nagarjuna has been hosting Bigg Boss Telugu since Season 3 and has continued for seven straight seasons. While he has received both praise and criticism over the years, his recent reaction in the weekend episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 has shocked many viewers.
Typically, the Saturday episode is focused on reviewing the housemates’ weekly performance, with Nagarjuna questioning them about their mistakes. The Sunday episode is usually lighter, filled with fun tasks, and ends with an elimination. However, sometimes Nagarjuna’s comments or actions don’t match the audience’s perspective, leading to criticism and accusations of bias.
In the latest weekend episode, Nagarjuna’s strong reaction towards Daemon Pawan, a commoner contestant, drew heavy criticism online. Daemon shares a close bond with fellow contestant Rithu Chowdhary. While some viewers see their relationship as romantic, others believe it’s just a deep friendship.
In one incident, Daemon pulled Rithu’s hand rather harshly during a conversation. While the act looked aggressive from an outsider’s view, his intention was simply to stop her and explain his side of the story. Nagarjuna addressed this moment during Saturday’s episode, which was understandable, but many felt he overreacted.
Daemon apologized, explained the situation, and promised not to repeat such behavior. Rithu and other housemates also supported him. Despite this, Nagarjuna continued to highlight the issue, calling it a serious concern for the show’s harmony. Viewers disagreed, noting that Daemon didn’t show arrogance, use foul language, or act with bad intentions.
What upset fans even more was Nagarjuna asking Daemon to kneel and apologize, and later instructing the house captain to punish him. This led to strong backlash from the audience, who felt the reaction was too harsh and unfair.
Many fans are now criticizing both Nagarjuna and the Bigg Boss Telugu team for their handling of the situation.
