The weekend episode began with a discussion about the nomination dispute between Manju and Soundarya, along with a heated argument over food inside the Bigg Boss house.Addressing Manju’s conduct, Kichcha Sudeep expressed his displeasure over the language he had used during the nomination process.“Manju, you have been making several mistakes. You use unnecessary words in the name of poetry and rhyming. There is a huge difference between speaking at an event or on the road and speaking on the Bigg Boss stage,” Sudeep reportedly told him.When questioned about his remarks during the nominations, Manju explained that he had said the contestants had not entered the house to engage in romance or walk around holding hands. He reportedly added that such behaviour could lead to someone being labelled “characterless.”
Soundarya Shetty Opens up about her emotional pain
During the discussion, Soundarya Shetty became emotional while explaining how Manju’s remarks had affected her.“He completely assassinated my character, sir. He said things like, ‘There is no flesh on your body, only bones. Otherwise, I would have eaten you.’ I was in shock and simply said ‘yes.’ But that does not mean I accepted everything he said,” Soundarya reportedly said.She went on to express her frustration over what she described as Manju’s repeated focus on her character.“He has some kind of issue in his thinking. He doesn’t have the courage to talk about anything other than my character. Sir, I need your help,” she reportedly told Sudeep while in tears.Soundarya’s emotional account provided context to her decision to remain silent during the earlier confrontation.
Vaishnavi voices her support for Soundarya
Vaishnavi also came forward to support Soundarya during the discussion.“We girls may have behaved playfully or in a romantic manner for fun. But speaking about it in this way reveals what kind of character he has,” Vaishnavi reportedly said.Meanwhile, Sudeep questioned Dhanush about the incident associated with the flight-themed setup. Dhanush reportedly clarified that he had not witnessed anything that could be considered “18-plus” content.
Sudeep reminds Manju of his responsibility
Kichcha Sudeep strongly criticized Manju’s choice of words and highlighted the potential impact of personal remarks on an individual’s dignity.“Manju, do you realize how much your words during the nominations can hurt a person? Bigg Boss is not an 18-plus show. Children as young as three or five years old watch this show while sitting on their parents’ or grandparents’ laps. What are you teaching them through such statements?” Sudeep reportedly questioned.Sudeep’s remarks prompted Manju to acknowledge his mistake and reconsider his conduct.
Manju Apologizes to Soundarya
Following Sudeep’s intervention, Manju publicly admitted that he had made a mistake and offered an apology to Soundarya.“I made a mistake, sir. I will correct myself. I have a sister too.
