The dynamic of the Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 house is constantly shifting, and this week, the spotlight is firmly on contestant Gilli Nata. Despite his polarizing 'sarcastic comedy' style—which has previously earned him both mass adoration and severe criticism, including warnings from host Kiccha Sudeep—a significant section of the audience is now strongly advocating for him to receive the highly-coveted 'Kichchana Chappale' this weekend.
The Shift in Sentiment
Gilli Nata, known for his quick wit and often task-spoiling humour, has had a tumultuous journey. His actions, such as the controversial "free meal" joke directed at former contestants and a prior complaint over a physical interaction during a task, have placed him in the crosshairs of both housemates and the host.
However, recent episodes have seen a noticeable change. Fans have been praising Gilli Nata for his strong performance in the tasks, his willingness to take a stand against other popular contestants (such as Rajath and Ashwini Gowda) despite facing backlash, and what they perceive as genuine, unscripted behaviour.
The Online Outcry
Social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, are flooded with comments demanding that Sudeep recognize Gilli's contribution.
- Many comments point out the contrast in behaviour between Gilli and other housemates, arguing that while Gilli's humour may be sharp, it is preferable to the "rowdy behaviour" and "unparliamentary language" allegedly used by others in recent arguments.
- One fan comment read, "Gilli may be controversial, but he has stood strong and provided entertainment. His overall game this week is far superior. He deserves the Kichchana Chappale."
- Others are urging Sudeep to call out contestants like Rajath for alleged abusive language and dual standards, which they feel makes Gilli's performance appear even better in comparison.
The Race for the Applause
The 'Kichchana Chappale' is the ultimate weekly honour, reserved for the housemate demonstrating exceptional responsibility, integrity, and strong character. As the weekend's 'Kichchana Panchayati' approaches, all eyes are on host Kiccha Sudeep to see if he validates the massive public sentiment or if he focuses on the long-standing complaints against Gilli Nata's confrontational comedy style.
The decision this week will be a clear indicator of whether the host prioritizes pure task performance and stand-out individual game, or overall conduct and house discipline.
