Bigg Boss Telugu 10: Mukesh Gowda Opens Up About His Guppedantha Manasu Exit

Mukesh Gowda, who became a household name with his portrayal of Rishi in the popular television serial Guppedantha Manasu, has entered Bigg Boss Telugu 10 as the 16th contestant. His entry has created considerable interest among viewers, who are now eager to see a different side of the actor beyond his calm and gentlemanly image on television. On the Bigg Boss stage, Mukesh impressed with his dance performance and composed manner of speaking. He opened up about coming from an ordinary family, starting his career as a junior artist and eventually becoming a film hero. He also revealed that he is single and spoke briefly about his past love life.

Before entering the Bigg Boss house, Mukesh had also addressed the reason behind his exit from Guppedantha Manasu in interviews. He clarified that he did not leave the serial because of a disagreement with the makers or to focus on films, as had been speculated. According to Mukesh, he had begun work on a Telugu film titled Geetha Shankaram in 2023, while continuing his serial commitments. During workouts in November that year, he suffered a serious back injury while lifting weights. An MRI reportedly showed a disc injury, and doctors advised him to take adequate rest. Mukesh said the injury made it impossible for him to continue the serial and stressed that rumours about a dispute with the director or his decision to leave for a film were untrue.
