As the 12th week of Nagarjuna Akkineni-hosted Bigg Boss Telugu 9 draws to a close, elimination drama claimed a familiar face. Divya Velamuri has exited the show after failing to secure sufficient votes from the audience, marking a significant turn in the race toward the finale.
Intense Week: Twisted Nominations, Heated Confrontations
This week’s nomination process broke the mold. For the first time this season, the show introduced a two-stage format: a private nomination round followed by a symbolic face-to-face photo-burning ceremony. The latter proved explosive, stirring emotional outbursts, fierce confrontations, and resurfacing buried tensions among housemates.
The tension peaked when a heated confrontation erupted between Divya and Thanuja Puttaswamy. The altercation dominated house conversations and became a focal point of viewer discussions online.
Those nominated this week included Divya, Thanuja, Suman Shetty, Kalyan Padala, Jabardasth Emmanuel, Bharani Shankar, Demon Pavan, and Sanjana Galrani. In the end, Kalyan Padala and Thanuja Puttaswamy emerged safe with the highest votes.
Divya’s Exit: When Votes Don’t Add Up
As per official confirmation during the weekend episode, Divya locked horns with Suman Shetty for the bottom two vote-getters. The host’s dramatic volcano-themed announcement revealed that Divya had the lowest public support, sealing her eviction from the house.
Her exit was a mix of emotion and acceptance. In her goodbye, Divya served sweets to fellow contestants, a parting gesture that moved many, especially Bharani, who was visibly emotional.
Divya admitted that she was mentally prepared for the exit after a difficult week and expressed gratitude for the journey. In the recap video, she spoke emotionally about certain housemates, including Thanuja and Bharani, offering final thoughts and reflecting on the relationships she built during her stay.
What Divya’s Departure Means for the House
With Divya’s eviction, all wildcard entries are now officially out of the competition. As the show inches toward its final phase, the dynamics inside the house are poised to shift dramatically. What remains now is a tight cluster of housemates—among them Suman, Sanjana, Kalyan, Emmanuel, Thanuja, Demon, Rithu, and Bharani.
Given the emotional turbulence of this week and the internal rifts exposed, the upcoming rounds are expected to feature high drama, shifting alliances, and strategic gameplay as contestants battle for a spot in the finale.
