Thanuja’s Captaincy Wins and Controversies
Thanuja has won captaincy multiple times throughout the season, most recently in Week 10 after a grueling “Hold the Crown” task where she outlasted competitors Nikhil and Ritu. As captain, she gained immunity from nomination and wielded significant power over house dynamics.
However, her victories haven’t come without controversy. Social media has been buzzing with accusations that Thanuja receives preferential treatment from both host Nagarjuna and the Bigg Boss team. Critics label her the “Bigg Boss favorite,” claiming production bias influences task outcomes in her favor.

Explosive Clash with Divya
The most dramatic moment in recent episodes came during a captaincy elimination task. When Divya suggested that captain Thanuja should be exempted from the competition since she already held immunity, Thanuja exploded. The confrontation escalated into one of the season’s fiercest arguments, with both contestants engaging in personal attacks.
According to reports, Divya defended her suggestion as logical procedure, but Thanuja interpreted it as targeted hostility. The heated exchange dominated the episode and sparked intense debate among viewers about gameplay strategy versus personal vendetta.

This validation from outsiders added another layer to the ongoing debate about her position in the competition.
Emmanuel’s mother particularly praised Thanuja, referring to her as a “goddess,” though she humorously questioned why Thanuja had twisted Emmanuel’s waist in a previous incident.
