Bigg Boss 9 Telugu Elimination Week 1: Who Got Eliminated In Bigg Boss 9 Telugu?
The first week of Bigg Boss 9 Telugu has already given us a taste of how unpredictable reality TV can get. To answer the burning question upfront, Shrasti Verma was the one who got eliminated in Week 1, and honestly, it came with a bit of a twist. The show kicked off about as grandly as a Tollywood movie launch, and host Nagarjuna brought his usual mix of wit, attitude, and that unmistakable “don’t-mess-with-me” sparkle. Yet for all the fanfare, the moment of Shrasti’s eviction left the house, and let’s be honest, a bunch of the audience just blinked and went, “Wait, really… her?”

The format this season threw everyone for a loop. Commoners vs celebrities, “owners vs tenants,”it almost sounded like a plotline from a quirky sitcom. Shrasti, a professional choreographer who had made headlines with a legal controversy before entering Bigg Boss, landed in a house packed with personalities, each doing their dramatic best for the camera. I’ll admit, I always feel kind of sorry for the first week’s evictee each year. Week 1 is so awkward! Nobody knows where the sugar is; alliances are as shaky as a rickety ladder; beds are still lumpy. And yet, nine contestants were nominated right out of the gate, you had Sanjana, Flora, Suman Shetty, Demon Pavan, Ramu Rathod, and more, all nervously pacing and swapping theories about who had the “lowest audience connect”.

Let’s talk about Shrasti Verma’s game if that’s what you want to call it. People expected drama from her, maybe a couple of dance-offs, or at least one searing late-night confession. Instead, it felt like she just… faded into the background. There was that whole “missing egg” micro-drama with Sanjana, but Shrasti handled it by just muttering, “Siggu ledu meeku,” and didn’t push the issue. No feuds, no strong opinions during nominations, not much bonding with others, heck, I kept confusing her with Flora for the first part of the week.
The house can be brutal if you aren’t loud, memorable, or at least hilariously unlikable. Audience votes matter, and unfortunately for Shrasti, she got the fewest. Reports say she took home about Rs. 2 lakh for her week-long stint, not bad for seven days, but probably not the home run she or her fans were praying for. I’ve heard friends speculate that if she’d just started one dance session or gotten into a spicy argument, things might have gone differently. But that’s Bigg Boss sometimes, you’re out before your suitcase is even fully unpacked.
Truth is, the reaction out there was mixed. Some complained her eviction was unfair, while others figured she just didn’t bring much to the madness. Online, I saw more than a few “Wait, who?” comments, with votes for Sanjana or Flora to be sent packing instead. And as usual, Bigg Boss was as dramatic with the elimination as possible, teasing Flora’s exit, only to oust Shrasti in the end. Nagarjuna’s final “The person leaving the house is…” moment had the same tension as the last over of an IPL knockout match.
First-week eliminations are always a rough way to enter the Bigg Boss history books. But hey, even a fleeting stint in that house is enough to turn you into a meme, pick up Twitter followers, and maybe even get a few interviews lined up. Who knows, maybe Shrasti will do better outside than in.
So, Bigg Boss 9 Telugu, elimination week one: Shrasti Verma’s out, and the house just got a little emptier, a little louder, and a tad more unpredictable for everyone left in the game.
