Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting, together with the jury’s evaluation, decides who among the top-15 Agnipariksha contestants enters the Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 house. Season 2 of the pre-show runs as part of Telugu Bigg Boss’s tenth season, and the selection works in two parts: the audience vote sends its picks into the house, and the juries send a few more contestants they judge worth the place. So vote for your favourite Agnipariksha 2 commoner and help them enter the house — and vote here online as well, because Star Maa and Hotstar never reveal the exact voting results, and our running Agnipariksha Bigg Boss voting tally is the sample that shows what the audience pulse looks like.

The fifteen contestants below are the field the voting covers, and the voting is now open — it runs late into the season’s final stretch. The Hotstar app and missed-call numbers are the official route, covered in how to vote further down.
Because it feeds the tenth season, the name gets written a half-dozen ways — Bigg Boss 10 Agnipariksha, Bigg Boss Telugu 10 Agnipariksha, Bigg Boss 10 Telugu Agnipariksha, sometimes Agnipareeksha. Every one of them is this show, and this page covers all of it.
- Voting: open — the Agnipariksha 2 vote is running. Cast your vote online below: our ballot now carries all fifteen contestants.
- Results: none yet — the vote is running and nobody has been sent through. The first results post below.
- Contestants: the top-15 list is below — first on record here.
- Start date: 15 August 2026 — new episodes 10 pm every day on Star Maa and daily at 12 am on JioHotstar. All IST.
- Applications: the documented application window closed on 21 June 2026.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting online: cast your vote
This is the online Agnipariksha Bigg Boss voting for Season 2 — vote for the commoner you want to see walk into the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 house. The ballot below is our dedicated Agnipariksha 2 ballot, with all fifteen contestants on it. Star Maa and JioHotstar announce who advances, but they never publish the exact vote counts, so this running tally is the sample you can actually watch now that the vote is open: what the audience pulse looks like, day by day. It’s an audience poll run by us, separate from the official vote — it has no bearing on who JioStar selects.
Vote for your favourite contestant. One vote per day.
Unofficial fan poll for audience opinion only. Votes here do not count toward the official result. It does not determine the official Agnipariksha selection.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha contestants: the top 15 names
First on record here. These are the fifteen competing in the on-air Agnipariksha Season 2 stage — the Bigg Boss Agnipariksha contestants list, from our sources, before anyone else had it, and the field the open voting window covers. Multiple independent lists now carry the same fifteen names, several still with the early spellings we corrected first. Any movement in the line-up is logged in the updates.

The contestant names are listed the way they’re publicly known — stage names, channel names and titles included. Making this list means reaching the pre-show’s on-air stage, not the Bigg Boss house: the pre-show has been on air since 15 August, the fifteen compete on that stage once the interview episodes run their course, and only the final five selected commoners enter the main season’s house. Whoever gets there joins the Bigg Boss 10 Telugu contestants page with a full profile.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting results today
No results yet — the vote is open and nobody has been sent through so far. The moment the Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting results exist, they post here, kept visibly separate from whatever our own poll shows. Star Maa and JioHotstar announce who goes through, never the exact numbers — which is why the online vote above is the one running count you can see. This section carries the latest state of the vote each day it moves.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha 2 Voting Results Today: Fan-Poll Standings (Day 27)

These are shares of our own poll's votes. The official JioHotstar count is never published by the show; treat these numbers as audience opinion, not the official result.
Once Season 10 is on air, the weekly nominee vote and its fan-poll standings live on the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 voting: this week’s poll and results page; this page keeps the Agnipariksha 2 record.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting: how to vote on Hotstar and missed calls
How does the official Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting work? The same way the main show’s vote does: through the Hotstar app and missed-call numbers — and the window is now open, covering the final stretch of the run. JioStar posts the formal notices on the Bigg Boss Telugu microsite at bbtelugu.jiostar.com, and the exact numbers and steps land on this page the same day they’re out.
When does Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting open?
It’s open now and runs until 4 September. The vote covers the final on-air stretch, the way Season 1 ran it, not the whole season — and that stretch has arrived. The steps and numbers from the official notice go here the day they’re published.
Missed call numbers for the Bigg Boss Agnipariksha vote
The numbers aren’t out yet. When JioStar publishes the missed-call numbers for the Bigg Boss Agnipariksha vote, they post here the same day. Until then, treat any number circulating on social media as unofficial — and numbers from earlier seasons don’t carry over.
Is Bigg Boss Agnipariksha voting free?
Yes — voting is free. In the app you just need a Hotstar account to sign in and vote, and the missed-call route is free too. The official vote never asks for a payment: a page that does isn’t the official vote.
Vote plus jury: how the final five are picked
Like last season, some contestants move into the Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 house on the audience vote and some on the jury’s say. The final selection weighs the voting outcome and the jury’s evaluation together, and misconduct during the final on-air stage can disqualify someone who qualified through the voting.
Agnipariksha Bigg Boss voting vs the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 vote
Two different votes, two different jobs. Agnipariksha Bigg Boss voting picks who gets into the house; the weekly Bigg Boss 10 Telugu voting decides who stays once the season starts, and it runs on its own method with its own windows. Both get covered on this site — the weekly vote lives on our homepage, and with the Agnipariksha window open, the online vote above is the running count you can watch beside it.
What is Bigg Boss Telugu Agnipariksha?
Bigg Boss Telugu introduced the Agnipariksha pre-show in Season 9 to select commoners. The show had cast non-celebrity housemates before, off screen. Agnipariksha made that selection a programme in its own right, with rounds you could watch and a vote you could take part in. Season 10 runs the second edition, which premiered on 15 August.
The prize is a place in the house. You submit a video entry, a panel narrows the field through several rounds, and the later stages are recorded and broadcast. Survive all of it and you walk in alongside the celebrity contestants.
Agnipariksha selection: the road into Bigg Boss 10 Telugu
JioStar’s audition terms set out five levels, each one cutting the field further, and if you sent an entry in June this is the route it takes:
| Level | What happens | Shortlist after it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A panel reviews the video entries | 200 |
| 2 | Video conference round | 100 |
| 3 | Group discussions, held in Hyderabad and elsewhere in Telangana | 50 |
| 4 | Personal interviews, judged by a jury of former housemates | 15 |
| 5 | Tasks played out on air | 5 commoner contestants |
None of those counts is fixed. The terms let the company adjust every one at its own discretion, and Level 2 can be dropped altogether, so a stage that runs with a different number was always allowed for.
The jury at Level 4 is drawn from former Bigg Boss Telugu housemates — this season’s panel is below. Recordings from Levels 4 and 5 are compiled into a run of 13 episodes, with roughly nine of those coming out of the interview stage, and the terms mark that episode count as tentative too.
To enter you needed to be 18 or older as of 10 June 2026, an Indian citizen and resident, and fluent in Telugu. The in-person rounds were set for Hyderabad and elsewhere in Telangana.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha judges and host
Sreemukhi hosts Agnipariksha 2, with the Season 1 jury back: Abijeet, Bindu Madhavi and Navdeep. They’re the faces fronting Star Maa’s own countdown promos, and the panel works the way it did last season. The judges matter more here than on the main show: at the interview stage and the on-air finish, the jury’s evaluation can put a contestant through alongside the public vote.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha start date and timings
Premiered 15 August 2026. Star Maa announced the date in an Agnipariksha promo whose official title names Kalyan Padala, the Season 9 winner who reached the house through the first Agnipariksha — and the show went on air the day the channel said it would.
The show runs at 10 pm every day on Star Maa, and JioHotstar carries it daily at 12 am. Every time here is IST.
| Where | Days | Time (IST) |
|---|---|---|
| Star Maa | Every day | 10 pm |
| JioHotstar | Every day | 12 am |
Applying is closed. The documented application window closed on 21 June 2026, and the on-ground auditions were listed for 15 to 20 July, also marked tentative. If entries reopen, you’ll read it here the same day. Don’t hand your details to any page that isn’t linked from an official JioStar or Star Maa channel. What the entry itself asked for, from the age bar to the three-minute video, is set out in how can I participate in Bigg Boss Telugu.
This is the pre-show’s date, not the season’s. The main house has its own: Star Maa announced on 29 August that Bigg Boss Telugu 10 launches on Sunday 6 September 2026, 7 pm — three weeks after the audition show went on air, the same order as last year, when Agnipariksha 1 closed two days before Season 9 opened. Host, channel and where to watch the main season are on the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 premiere date page.
Where to watch Bigg Boss Agnipariksha: TV and OTT
Same screen as the main season, and now with a slot attached to it. Star Maa carries the pre-show on television at 10 pm every night, and JioHotstar streams it daily at 12 am.
Bigg Boss Agnipariksha full episodes
On OTT, JioHotstar is the whole answer: full episodes of Bigg Boss Agnipariksha Telugu go up there daily at 12 am, so a TV slot you missed is streaming the same night. Clips and promos circulate on YouTube, but complete episodes live on Jio Hotstar and nowhere else official.
That closes a gap the audition terms left open. They put the 13-episode programme on what they call the Channel, defined as JioStar’s television channels and digital platforms, including but not limited to JioHotstar, as JioStar decides from time to time. That named a platform without committing to one; the announcement commits. Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam have their own editions now — where to watch Bigg Boss Agnipariksha covers all four languages, channels and start dates.
The main season sits on the same pair, Star Maa with streaming on JioHotstar, and Nagarjuna Akkineni is back to host it. Both channels are running Agnipariksha spots on YouTube daily — watch the latest verified ones, each with our note on what it actually confirms, at Agnipariksha 2 promos today, and the season teaser sits with the daily hub on our official promos page.
What happened in Agnipariksha Season 1?
The first Agnipariksha ran from 22 August to 5 September 2025, ahead of Season 9 — a digital pre-show streaming on JioHotstar with no TV slot, which is the one thing Season 2 upgrades. The faces were the same ones fronting this season: Sreemukhi hosting, with Abijeet, Bindu Madhavi and Navdeep on the jury.
Forty-five candidates came in. The mega-audition episodes ran on green and red signals from the judges, with three greens sending a candidate straight into the top 15, and the borderline names got a do-or-die round of tasks for the remaining spots. The fifteen who made it then played team and individual tasks across the back half of the run, with public voting live over that stretch. The show ran its fifteen by first name: Divya, Prasanna, Pawan, Shreya, Kalyan, Anusha, Kalki, Harish, Srija, Priya, Manish, Naga, Dahlia and Shwetha among them. The auditions also made a piece of Telugu television history on the way: Patruni Sastry became the first drag artist to compete on a Telugu reality show, going out in the mega-audition stage.
The finish is where the vote-plus-jury split shows. Six commoners walked into the Bigg Boss Telugu 9 house on launch night — three on the public vote: Kalyan Padala, Priya Shetty and Demon Pavan, and three on the jury’s call: Harish, Sreeja Dammu and Maryada Manish. A seventh, Divya Nikitha, better known online as VegFriedMomo, entered later as a wild card from the same pre-show.
Kalyan Padala, one of those six, won the season. He’s the first champion to come through the Agnipariksha route, and a second commoner, Demon Pavan, finished third in the same finale. One season in, the pre-show had produced a winner.
If you want that season in full, it’s in the Season 9 timeline, and every one of the 22 who entered, with how far each got, is on the Season 9 contestants page.
Updates
- 30 August 2026: the main season has a date. Star Maa announced the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 launch for Sunday 6 September 2026, 7 pm in its grand-launch promo of 29 August, so the line above about the season it feeds having no date is replaced. Nothing about Agnipariksha’s own schedule, vote or shortlist changes.
- 21 August 2026: voting is open. The Agnipariksha 2 vote is running, and the voting section above now carries our dedicated Agnipariksha ballot with all fifteen contestants on it — replacing the standing site poll that had held the slot since the page went up. The official steps and missed-call numbers still await JioStar’s notice; they land here the day they’re published.
- 15 August 2026: Agnipariksha 2 premiered on Star Maa. Two launch-day notes. The schedule runs 10 pm every day — the announced 9 pm weekend slot never made it to air, the channel’s own later promos already said “everyday at 10 pm”, and the timings on this page are corrected to match. And the top-15 list published here on 12 August now circulates across multiple independent outlets, matching ours name for name — several still carrying the early spellings we corrected first. The fifteen themselves haven’t aired yet: the run opens with the interview episodes.
- 14 August 2026 (correction): row 4 went up as Shalini Patel — the name her modelling and Instagram identity runs under. The show refers to her by her family name, Shalini Damera, and the row and her profile now lead with it; her profile URL moved with it, with the old address redirecting.
- 13 August 2026: row 12 of the top-15, listed mononymously as "Gayathri" the way the early lists carried her, now has her full identity: Gayathri Vardhan, the Hyderabad creator whose real name is Gayathri Reddy Konakandla. The row links her full profile.
- 12 August 2026 (correction): row 5 of the top-15 first went up as "Shrasthi Vyakarni" — the garbled spelling that circulated with the early lists. The person behind it is Srishti Vyakaranam, the Femina Miss India AP 2017 winner, and the row now carries her correct name.
- 12 August 2026: the top-15 contestant list published — first on record here, from our sources. Added the same day: the voting route (Hotstar app and missed-call numbers, opening towards the end of the run) and the host-and-jury panel. Any movement in the line-up gets logged here.
- 7 August 2026: start date announced. Star Maa put Agnipariksha 2 at 15 August 2026, running 10 pm on weekdays and 9 pm at weekends on the channel, with JioHotstar carrying it daily at 12 am. Still no shortlist and still no voting method.
- 28 July 2026: page published. Season 2 confirmed from JioStar’s audition terms, tentative on-air window recorded, application window closed. No shortlist, no voting mechanism and no platform announced.
Every dated change during the run gets a line here: shortlist announcements, voting instructions, results and any correction we make. If a fact on this page moves, you’ll see when it moved and you won’t have to take our word for the rest.
