Nagarjuna’s Old Remarks on Bigg Boss Go Viral

An old video of Telugu actor Nagarjuna Akkineni discussing the Bigg Boss concept has resurfaced on social media, sparking fresh debate during Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10. In a conversation during the promotions of the 2018 film Devadas, co-starring Nani, Nagarjuna was asked whether he watched Bigg Boss, as Nani was hosting its second season at the time. Nagarjuna responded that he did not like the concept itself, explaining that he was uncomfortable with the idea of secretly observing other people’s lives, judging them, laughing at them or indulging in gossip about their personal matters. His comments have now attracted attention because he subsequently became the host of the Telugu reality show.

Nagarjuna took over as host from the third season and continued to present the show in subsequent seasons, including the first Bigg Boss Telugu OTT edition. With the tenth season currently underway, social media users are sharing his old remarks and joking that the video should be played during a weekend episode. On the show, Nagarjuna regularly addresses contestants’ mistakes by presenting clips of their actions. Some viewers are now suggesting, humorously, that the host’s own old video should also be shown. The resurfaced clip has triggered online discussions about the contrast between Nagarjuna’s earlier comments and his long association with the reality show.
