The fourth episode of Bigg Boss Agnipariksha , titled “Daring Battles for the Golden Chair”, delivered high-stakes drama and intense tasks that tested the contestants' physical endurance, mental agility, and emotional intelligence.
The episode opened with host Sreemukhi introducing the top six selected contestants and the 16 contenders battling for the remaining nine spots in the Top 15. The contestants who directly made it to the Top 15 are Divya Nikitha, Shreya, Prasanna Kumar, Demon Pavan, Anusha Ratnam, and Swetha Reddy.
The episode featured the on-hold contestants competing against each other in a series of daring challenges designed by the host and a judging panel comprising former Bigg Boss stars — Abijeet, Bindu Madhavi, and Navdeep.
From getting tattoos to popping their opponent’s balloons, shaving half their head, gaining 1 kg of weight in 10 minutes, and calling close ones for money — the tasks were bold and physically demanding.
Dammu Sreeja’s comments stirred tension when she claimed that the money task was not clearly explained to fellow contestant Shakib. Judge Navdeep responded, “The amount which the contenders requested from their friends was unknown to each other, so there is no place for an unfair game,” clarifying the fairness of the challenge.
After a fierce set of battles, Mask Man Harish, Dammu Sreeja, Pavan Kalyan, Priya, and Kalki earned their spots in the Top 15, bringing the total to 11 confirmed contestants.
In the upcoming episode, the remaining 11 contenders — Ketamma, Abu Bakkar, Sai Krishna, Nikitha, Urmila Chouhan, Naga, Sri Teja, Manish, Alekhya, Shakib, and Dahlia — will face off to secure the final four positions in the Top 15.
Once the Top 15 are finalized, the ultimate battle for the Top 5 will commence, determining who will enter the main Bigg Boss house. With Nagarjuna returning as host, Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is expected to premiere soon after the pre-show Agnipariksha concludes.
