In a shocking twist, actor Sreenivasa Sai has been eliminated from Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9 following Ramu Rathod’s self-exit, marking a rare double elimination week. The unexpected turn has left viewers surprised as the show enters its final stretch with just five weeks remaining.
Double Elimination Twist Rocks Bigg Boss Telugu 9
With the grand finale just around the corner, the competition inside the Bigg Boss house is heating up. The 9th week nominations featured Suman Shetty, Bharani Shankar, Sanjana Galrani, Pawan Kalyan Padala, Ramu Rathod, Tanuja Puttaswamy, and Sreenivasa Sai.
While Ramu Rathod voluntarily exited the show citing homesickness, fans assumed there would be no elimination this week. However, in a surprise move, the makers announced a double elimination, resulting in Sreenivasa Sai’s eviction based on public votes.
According to online voting trends, Sreenivasa Sai received the lowest share of votes (8.63%), placing him in the danger zone alongside Bharani Shankar. Despite believing he had survived after Ramu’s self-exit, the official eviction announcement ended Sai’s Bigg Boss journey.
Ramu Rathod’s Self-Elimination
Ramu Rathod, one of the season’s strong contenders, chose to walk out of the show after expressing his emotional struggle and longing for home. Despite host Nagarjuna Akkineni and housemates urging him to reconsider, Ramu stood firm on his decision, leading to his official self-elimination.
Sreenivasa Sai’s Journey Inside the House
Entering the house as a wild card contestant, Sreenivasa Sai struggled to establish a strong presence. His limited involvement in tasks and gameplay reportedly contributed to his lower popularity. Despite his eviction, Sai managed to gain significant visibility among Telugu audiences — many recognizing him for the first time through his Bigg Boss stint.
Industry buzz suggests this exposure could help Sai’s acting career going forward, as filmmakers and audiences alike have taken notice of his personality on the show.
Sreenivasa Sai’s Bigg Boss Earnings
