Tensions escalated inside the Bigg Boss house on Day 2 during the Maha Pariksha task. What began as a strategic team-building exercise quickly devolved into personal confrontations, sharp accusations of arrogance, and an uncharacteristic outburst from Krishnudu.
Army Selection: The Bag Task
With Ram Prasad and Rohith previously selected as team leaders, Bigg Boss introduced the Bag Task to divide the remaining 12 contestants into two competing armies. Contestants collected badge-filled bags from the garden area to present to their preferred leader.
- Team Ram Prasad (Blue Badges): Trigun, Mukesh Gowda, Sudheer Reddy, Jabardasth Naresh, Debjani, RJ Charan, Varshini Sounderajan, and Chaitra Rai.
- Team Rohith (Red Badges): Aman, Temper Vamsi, Shalini, Srishti, Jhansi, and Krishnudu.
Friction surfaced early when Ram Prasad delayed selecting Varshini, leading Rohith to use his option to assign her to Ram Prasad’s camp. When questioned, Ram Prasad admitted he assumed Rohith would pick her, sparking immediate distrust. Later, Varshini clashed with RJ Charan over alliance politics, arguing that selective socializing, specifically pointing out Jhansi’s distance, proved that clear group gameplay was already underway.
Nominations Ignite: Varshini and Krishnudu Target Rohith
The episode reached a boiling point when both teams were tasked with naming contestants undeserving of permanent housemate status.
- Varshini Calls Out Rohith: Selected by the Blue Team to evaluate the opposition, Varshini launched a direct critique of Rohith’s attitude. She alleged that his demeanor had shifted dramatically since the Agnipariksha phase, accusing him of projecting an inflated ego, refusing to admit mistakes after losses, and unfairly deflecting blame onto others.
- Krishnudu Loses His Cool: The Red Team then placed Rohith in charge of targeting Blue Team contestants. Rohith nominated Krishnudu, Ram Prasad, Varshini, Trigun, and Debjani. The move provoked a furious reaction from Krishnudu, who broke his calm exterior to accuse Rohith of developing a superiority complex fueled by jealousy and the temporary power of holding the house key. Rohith remained visibly unfazed, smiling through the confrontation.
The Protective Boss Task
The drama shifted back into competition mode as the ten nominated housemates faced off in the Protective Boss task.
The rules pitted the Blue Team as attackers against the Red Team as defenders, with attackers attempting to eliminate guards to reach the “Boss.” Physical blocking quickly led to renewed hostility, culminating in Rohith accusing Trigun of playing a foul game.
Day 2 firmly established the season’s early battle lines. While the physical challenges tested endurance, the real tone was set by verbal warfare, spotlighting Rohith as the primary target of house-wide pushback.
