Boycott Bigg Boss Telugu 10 and Nagarjuna as host? What sparked the criticism

Calls to boycott Bigg Boss Telugu 10 and replace Nagarjuna as host reflect real frustration among some viewers, particularly over how contestants are disciplined. The sharpest recent criticism followed the October 3, 2026, weekend episode, when Nagarjuna gave Rohit, Thrigun and Aman yellow cards. What has not been established is a widespread, organized boycott or any decision to remove Nagarjuna from the show.

Why are viewers criticizing Nagarjuna?

The dispute centres on whether the host and the show apply the same standards to everyone. During the October 3 episode, Nagarjuna challenged contestants over aggressive behaviour, offensive language and rule violations. Rohit’s confrontation drew particular attention: Nagarjuna asked him to leave after reviewing footage of his conduct, then allowed him to remain after an apology and issued a yellow card.

Some viewers argue that Rohit was treated more harshly than other housemates. Others point out that Thrigun and Aman also received yellow cards in the same episode, and that Nagarjuna questioned several contestants about their behaviour. Those details explain why the episode has produced disagreement, but they do not settle viewers’ broader argument about fairness across the season.

Criticism predates that weekend. After an earlier September episode, Telugu entertainment coverage described complaints that Rohit, who entered through the commoner selection process, faced tougher scrutiny than celebrity contestants. That is an allegation about the show’s handling of contestants, not a verified finding that Nagarjuna or the producers deliberately favour one group.

Is there a boycott of Bigg Boss Telugu 10?

There are individual online comments urging people to stop watching, alongside posts asking for a different host. That is different from evidence of a coordinated campaign with measurable support. Claims that the programme has been cancelled, that its audience has collapsed because of a boycott, or that Nagarjuna has been replaced should not be inferred from angry posts.

The reaction is not unanimous, either. Some viewers want Nagarjuna to take a firmer line against housemates’ conduct. The competing complaints—too harsh on certain contestants, not harsh enough on others—are part of why a single account of what viewers want would be misleading.

Is Nagarjuna still hosting?

Yes. Nagarjuna launched the tenth season on September 6, 2026, and hosted the weekend episode at the centre of the latest criticism. There is no verified announcement of a host change. Bigg Boss Telugu 10 continues to air on Star Maa, with streaming on JioHotstar.

For now, the clearest distinction is between documented viewer criticism and an unverified claim of a mass boycott. The October 3 warnings gave critics a specific decision to debate; whether the show changes its approach or responds to those complaints remains to be seen.
