Week 12 of Bigg Boss Telugu 9 has erupted into chaos as violent confrontations threaten to end the journeys of three popular contestants. Following explosive physical altercations and controversial remarks during nominations, speculation is rife that Kalyan Padala, Demon Pavan, and Sanjana Galrani could receive red cards this weekend from host Nagarjuna.
Bigg Boss Telugu 9: Controversy at a Glance
| Contestant | Alleged Violation | Potential Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Kalyan Padala | Used abusive language, kicked furniture | Red Card Warning |
| Demon Pavan | Grabbed Kalyan’s throat, man-handling | Possible Eviction |
| Sanjana Galrani | Made inappropriate comments about Ritu-Pavan | Severe Warning |
| Week Status | 8 nominated, finale approaching | 3 weeks remaining |
The Throat-Grabbing Incident That Shocked Viewers
The 12th-week nominations descended into complete chaos when Demon Pavan grabbed Kalyan’s throat during a heated argument, while Kalyan pushed chairs in retaliation. Sanjana intervened physically to separate them, but the damage was done.

This incident could cost Pavan his position in the game, especially since Nagarjuna had already issued him a warning about man-handling contestants in previous episodes. The replay footage shows Pavan losing control after Kalyan accused him of backstabbing during last week’s captaincy race.
Kalyan Crosses the Line
Once considered a strong title contender, Kalyan’s behavior during nominations has triggered massive backlash. Social media reports suggest he used inappropriate language during the confrontation and kicked furniture in anger, actions that violate Bigg Boss house rules.
Former contestant Adi Reddy released a video predicting that all three contestants behaved like “street rowdies” and deserve red cards. His comments reflect widespread viewer sentiment demanding strict action from the makers.
Sanjana’s Controversial Remark
The drama intensified when Sanjana made a veiled reference to Ritu and Pavan spending time together at night. While editors muted portions of her statement, the implication was clear enough to spark outrage.
Ritu quickly seized the opportunity by crying loudly, and this moment may heavily impact Sanjana’s votes this week. The actress, who entered as a commoner, now faces potential elimination for crossing personal boundaries.

What Red Card Means in Bigg Boss
A red card in Bigg Boss Telugu represents the ultimate penalty—immediate eviction without public voting. It’s reserved for serious violations including:
- Physical violence or aggressive behavior
- Abusive language beyond acceptable limits
- Personal attacks on contestants’ character
- Threats or intimidation
The show’s official Star Maa channel closely monitors such incidents and consults with legal teams before issuing red cards.
Weekend Episode: Nagarjuna’s Class Expected
Reports suggest that Nagarjuna will conduct a thorough review of these incidents during this weekend’s episode. The legendary actor-host has demonstrated zero tolerance for violence and disrespect in previous seasons.
Earlier this season, Nagarjuna had already issued Kalyan a red card for pushing Ritu and displaying controlling behavior, though he was allowed to stay after apologizing. This second violation could seal his fate permanently.

Current Nomination Status
Eight contestants are currently in danger: Divya, Pavan, Kalyan, Emanuel, Sanjana, Bharani, Suman, and Tanuja. However, the red card controversy has overshadowed regular elimination predictions.
Unofficial voting polls show Sanjana and Divya receiving the lowest votes, but if red cards are issued, public voting becomes irrelevant for those contestants.
Ex-Contestants Speak Out
Adi Reddy’s video criticism reflects a broader sentiment among former Bigg Boss Telugu participants. Many believe the show must maintain discipline standards to preserve its credibility, especially as the season approaches its finale in three weeks.
The Telugu reality show community is closely watching how the makers handle this situation, as it will set precedents for future seasons. Stay updated with the latest reality TV developments and behind-the-scenes insights.

FAQs
Q1: Has anyone received a red card in previous Bigg Boss Telugu seasons?
Yes, Bigg Boss Telugu has issued red cards in past seasons for serious violations. Most notably, contestants have been immediately evicted for physical violence, threats, or severe misbehavior. Earlier this season, Kalyan Padala received a red card for pushing Ritu and displaying controlling behavior, but was allowed to continue after a sincere apology. However, repeat offenses typically result in permanent eviction without second chances.
Q2: Can public voting save contestants who receive red cards?
No, red cards in Bigg Boss Telugu represent immediate eviction that overrides public voting. Once a red card is issued by host Nagarjuna and the production team, the contestant must leave the house immediately, regardless of their popularity or vote count. This is different from regular nominations where public voting determines elimination. Red cards are the show’s ultimate disciplinary action reserved for violations that threaten the safety and dignity of other contestants.
