What was Priya’s reaction when she saw Naga Manikanta return home after his elimination?

Naga Manikanta has been eliminated from Bigg Boss, leaving fans stunned. The actor, who expressed his desire to win the title for the sake of his wife and children, made the dramatic choice to leave the show himself. This has sparked discussions about his wife Priya’s reaction to his exit.

As a strong player in the Bigg Boss house, Naga Manikantha faced criticism early on, especially during the first week when he showed emotional vulnerability. Some have accused him of trying to win sympathy votes. Over time, however, it became clear that he was playing a strategic game, creating confusion among the other contestants about how to interact with him. At one point, he became a target for the other housemates, but doubts emerged about whether that would negatively affect them or benefit him.

The dynamics shifted, and discussions began about how Naga’s sympathy game was impacting other contestants. His interactions with female contestants drew scrutiny, particularly when Yashmi expressed discomfort with his hugs. Despite this, he continued to hug other female contestants, including a viral moment where he asked Sonia for a hug after moving leaves aside.

Despite the controversies, Naga Manikantha built a fanbase, frequently surviving weekly nominations with audience votes. Even in the seventh week, he ranked among the top 3-4 in voting. It was expected that Gautam would be eliminated, but Naga decided to leave voluntarily. Consequently, Nagarjuna conducted a final voting round among the contestants, resulting in a majority voting against Naga, leading to his elimination.

Naga Manikantha has repeatedly stated that he entered Bigg Boss for the sake of his wife and children, hoping to win the title to gain respect in his family. However, contrary to audience expectations, he left the house. Upon his exit, he spoke to the media about his wife’s reaction, saying, “I haven’t spoken to her yet. She hasn’t come here with the baby.” He did receive a letter from Priya in the house, which he referred to as his “first love letter.” He expressed hope that she would welcome him back joyfully.

Rumors suggest there may be tensions between Naga Manikantha and Priya, but clarity on that front is expected soon. Additionally, it is reported that Naga entered the show with a relatively low remuneration of ₹1.25 lakhs per week, earning around ₹8.75 lakhs over seven weeks. It remains to be seen how this newfound fame from Bigg Boss will impact Naga Manikantha’s career going forward.
