Who the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 contestants are

The celebrity housemates lean television. Mukesh Gowda played Rishi in Guppedantha Manasu, Debjani Modak came through Ennenno Janmala Bandham and Sathyabhama, and Chaithra Rai was Swapna in Ashta Chamma — three daily-serial audiences walking in with them. Auto Ram Prasad and Naresh Jabardasth come from comedy, Ram Prasad off Extra Jabardasth and Naresh off Jabardasth and Sridevi Drama Company. Krishnudu (Pokiri, Happy Days, Vinayakudu), Temper Vamsi (Temper, Bharat Ane Nenu, Pushpa) and Adith Eswaran, credited as Thrigun since 2022, come from film. Varshini Sounderajan anchors Jabardasth, and Sudheer Reddy hosts Sudheer Talks, the Telugu interview channel he has run since 2020.

The commoners came through Bigg Boss Agnipariksha, the pre-show that picks them: Rohit Naidu, a project manager from Vijayawada who led its audience vote; Aman Masud; RJ Charan, whom the judges sent straight through; Singer Jhansi, a folk singer and farmer from Suryapet district; Srishti Vyakaranam, a software engineer turned Femina Miss India AP; and Shalini Damera, a model and emcee working out of Melbourne. That route produced Kalyan Padala, who won Bigg Boss Telugu 9.

More names can still be confirmed before launch night, and wild cards enter weeks into the season. We add both here as the show announces them.
