Who Is Priya Shetty From Bigg Boss Telugu 9?
Let’s start with the basics: Priya Shetty, this season’s stirring, straight-talking sparkplug, is not just a reality show contestant she’s the kind of person who makes everyone in the house sit up a little straighter. And outside the Bigg Boss Telugu 9 house? She’s a doctor, influencer, model, entrepreneur, and to top it all off, a creative director for a fitness studio. If you get the sense she barely sleeps, you’re probably right. Watching Priya in the opening episodes, even the audience seemed to pause and think, “Wait, can I borrow some of her confidence (and her hair secrets)?”

Roots: Hometown Hustle and Big Dreams
Priya is from Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, where she grew up in a middle-class family, juggling academics with an ever-growing love for the spotlight. Neighbors say she was that kid who organized the neighborhood dance show, then made sure to host it, star in it, and, if need be, the backup percussionist, too. Not the type to do anything halfway. She finished her schooling and college locally before shifting gears into entrepreneurship and entertainment out of sheer ambition (and, as she jokes in interviews, an allergic reaction to boring days).
Offscreen, Priya built Pranaa Events, a bustling event management company just to put her wild creativity and organizational brainpower to good use. She also serves as creative director at Reborn Fitness Studio in Hyderabad. Her ability to swap between organizing a wedding, shooting a brand campaign, or giving health advice on her socials is, honestly, pretty wild. Social media wasn’t just a side gig; it was her breakout stage.
Life Before the Cameras
Before Bigg Boss was her living space (plus, you know, a few dozen cameras), Priya shelved a traditional 9-to-5 and rocketed into the worlds of modeling, digital content creation, and even acting in short films and web series. She admits to loving all things fashion and fitness; her Insta stories sometimes range from “here’s my morning coffee” to “this is how you plan a workout when you’re running three businesses.” If only she’d share her daily planner, the rest of us would stand a fighting chance!
A few small moments like a backstage goof before a Hyderabad fashion show, or a last-minute makeup mishap she laughed about online, earned her a rep for being relatable, not just glam. Fans sometimes say they like her because “she feels like us, but with better shoes and bolder opinions.”

Her Journey in the Bigg Boss House
Stepping into the Bigg Boss Telugu 9 mansion, Priya made an impression so immediate it was practically audible. Bold, candid, and unfazed by the chaos, she was one of the house’s “commoner” contestants though her energy makes her feel anything but ordinary. There’s this one clip circulating of her half-jokingly assigning (read: delegating with flair) kitchen duties and then lightheartedly stirring up drama about undercooked rotis. “Somebody has to keep life exciting in here,” she quipped, and, honestly, truer words for reality TV have rarely been spoken.

Her willingness to jump into friendship, share her mind openly, and shrug off slights (well, most of the time) quickly won over a swarm of viewers, especially those watching for realness, not just reality.

Wrapping It Up Like Priya Would
So, who is Priya Shetty from Bigg Boss Telugu 9? Not a background character, that’s for sure. She’s that rare blend of driven and down-to-earth, a multitasker with just enough sass to keep things fresh. Priya’s journey from Kurnool’s winding bylanes to the blinding lights of reality TV feels like a nudge to get out of your comfort zone and, maybe, sign up for that dance class (or start that business, or post that selfie). In a season full of loud personalities and reality show antics, she stands out by staying unapologetically herself, bold, flawed, occasionally scattered, but always fiercely real.
