Bigg Boss Telugu 8: Highlights Nagamanikanta's Emotional Breakdown

In the dramatic opening week of Bigg Boss Telugu Season 8, emotions ran high during the nomination process, leading to a poignant breakdown by contestant Nagamanikanta.

Nomination Drama
The episode on September 4th featured intense nomination battles. Aditya Om nominated Shekhar Basha for his lack of participation and Prithvi for not contributing enough. Chief Yashmi supported Shekhar Basha’s nomination, resulting in Prithvi being saved. In another twist, Sita and Bebakka nominated Prerna, but Chief Nainika chose to save Prerna and finalize Bebakka’s nomination. Chief Nikhil also played a crucial role, saving Sonia while finalizing Basha’s nomination.

However, the most heart-wrenching moment came when Abhay Naveen nominated Nagamanikanta, questioning his suitability for the game. Abhay’s remarks, suggesting that Nagamanikanta lacked the resilience necessary for the show, deeply affected him.

He revealed that he had turned to Bigg Boss as a last hope during a particularly dark period, expressing his desperation to stay in the game.

Nagamanikanta's emotional plea touched many, including Yashmi, who was moved to tears by his vulnerability. Despite his heartfelt confession, the nominations continued, with Prerna nominating Sonia, leading to Nagamanikanta being saved and Sonia being nominated.

Confession Room Revelation
Later, Nagamanikanta sought solace in the confession room, where he confessed his desire for respect, his family, and his struggle with self-doubt. He expressed his disappointment in himself, fearing that his participation in the show might be perceived negatively. Bigg Boss encouraged him to maintain faith in himself and not lose courage.
