In the current season of Bigg Boss Telugu, tensions have escalated between contestants Vishnu Priya and Sonia. The conflict began when Vishnu Priya casually questioned Sonia about her closeness with Nikhil. Sonia responded by breaking down and accusing Vishnu Priya of making inappropriate jokes, which led to Vishnu Priya being criticized by the host, Nagarjuna, on Saturday.

The situation intensified during the nominations last Monday when Sonia nominated Vishnu Priya, claiming her dressing style was causing discomfort among the male contestants. Vishnu Priya challenged this claim, asking for specifics on who was troubled. Sonia claimed that everyone in the house was affected. Sonia then made a personal remark about Vishnu Priya not having a family while emphasizing her own family's presence. Sonia later revealed that her discomfort stemmed from an incident where Aditya felt uncomfortable seeing Vishnu Priya in revealing attire while she was changing. However, Vishnu Priya's clothing was noted as not being particularly inappropriate or uncomfortable, and Aditya himself had not expressed any discomfort.

This week's nomination process introduced eight contestants at risk of eviction: Vishnu Priya, Nainika, Aditya Om, Naga Manikanta, Nikhil Maliyakkal, Prithviraj, Shekar Basha, and Kirrak Seetha. The nominations sparked various arguments, including Nikhil's nomination following a dispute over food preparation, Kirrak Seetha's nomination after a clash with Prerana over a garbage bin, and further drama between Prithviraj and Manikanta. Nikhil's frustration led him to express a desire to leave the house. Nabi also nominated Nikhil, increasing the number of potential evictees.
