Naga Manikantha, a contestant who quickly became a household name in Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8, left the show in an emotional and unexpected twist. Known for his sentimental moments in the Bigg Boss house, Manikantha often expressed his love for his family and his determination to win the title for them. While many labeled him as the ‘sympathy star,’ he amassed a large fan following and secured a strong position in the public voting.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Manikantha chose to leave the competition voluntarily due to health issues, despite his popularity. His self-elimination during Week 7 left both fans and fellow contestants shocked.
Manikantha’s Emotional Journey in Bigg Boss
At the start of the season, Manikantha entered the Bigg Boss house with a clear purpose: to win the title for his wife and children. Throughout his stay, he repeatedly mentioned his family and was often seen breaking down emotionally. This raw vulnerability struck a chord with the audience, and he quickly became one of the most voted-for contestants. Despite facing challenges from fellow housemates, his sincerity and emotional outbursts earned him a loyal fanbase.
The Unexpected Exit
During Week 7, Manikantha tearfully expressed his inability to continue in the Bigg Boss house due to health concerns. Host Nagarjuna, after hearing his plea, granted him an emotional farewell. “His body is not cooperating, Maha Prabho, please let him go,” Nagarjuna said as he sent Manikantha out of the house. His departure left fans saddened, and many took to social media to express their disappointment, as he was one of the frontrunners to win the title.
Before leaving, Manikantha took the opportunity to apologize to his supporters, expressing his heartfelt gratitude to everyone who voted for him. He assured them that he would return soon with a new project to continue entertaining his fans.
Responding to Trolls Targeting His Wife
Apart from his journey in the Bigg Boss house, Manikantha had to deal with the negative trolling aimed at his wife, Priya. Since the start of the season, Priya has faced harsh body-shaming and lewd comments on social media. These inappropriate remarks escalated when a video from their wedding went viral, leading to increased trolling.
In a recent interview, Manikantha addressed the ongoing comments, expressing frustration at the disrespect directed at his wife. “People who make such comments must have some knowledge. Only stupid people do stupid things. My wife is beautiful to me, and her heart is even more beautiful. She has been with me for life, while contestants couldn’t handle me for a short period in the Bigg Boss house,” Manikantha said. He urged netizens to stop making hurtful comments against Priya and emphasized the importance of kindness and respect.
What’s Next for Manikantha?
While his journey in Bigg Boss Telugu 8 may have come to an early end, Manikantha has hinted that he plans to return to the entertainment industry soon. He assured his fans that he is recovering from his health issues and has exciting projects lined up.
Manikantha’s time in the Bigg Boss house may have been cut short, but his impact was lasting. With a fanbase rooting for his return, it’s clear that this emotional star will continue to capture hearts in the future.
