Bigg Boss is a very popular show in the Telugu states. Ever since it was launched, the popularity has only grown with each season. The reality show is now in its ninth season and kicked off streaming on September 7, 2025. There are two houses in the show, one featuring commoners and the other featuring celebrities.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu shocks everyone with record views

This new rule of having two common houses did not go well with many, who started trolling the show heavily, but the makers are quite thrilled, stating in a new tweet that their show is a superhit. The host, Akkineni Nagarjuna, has now revealed that the launch episode of Bigg Boss season nine clocked a whopping 15.9 billion streaming minutes, which is a record in the country.

This number is the highest ever for any Bigg Boss across all languages in India, showing how crazy the Telugu fans are about the show. JioHotstar is the platform behind this season, and all those who love such reality shows can stream Bigg Boss 9 on OTTplay Premium. 

The show has completed almost two weeks of its run. In the first week, it was choreographer Srushti Varma who was eliminated. Things have heated up in the second week as two commoners, Priya Shetty and Maryada Naveen, are in the danger zone.

On the other hand, everybody thought that Suman Shetty, the popular Telugu comedian, would be out of the show, but he surprisingly got solid votes in the second week. The makers are thrilled that the new season has started with a bang.

Wild card entries to grace the show soon

A source close to the unit revealed that three more wildcard entries will grace the show in the weeks to come. When everybody thought the show had started on a dull note, the makers came out and revealed that it had clocked record-breaking views. We need to see what kind of drama unfolds in the coming weeks.
