This week, the dynamics turned a sharp turn in the house on January 14th, when Rakshitha Shetty officially cut ties with Gilli Nata. An aggressive figure, with the most shocking outbursts from her and others to comment whether the "Gilli-Rakshitha" connection has reached a permanent dead end.
From ’Possessive’ to ‘Indifferent’
From the onset of the season, Gilli and Kavya were considered the main "pair," but Rakshitha’s inclusion introduced a new level of jealousy and possessiveness.
The Bean Bag Incident
When Rakshitha appeared to get rid of extra bean bags just days ago, to ensure she was the only one sitting right next to Gilli, the rumors circulated that she had deep affection for him.
The “Boyfriend” Wish
Rakshitha had stated before on camera that she would love a boyfriend with Gilli’s personality traits. This moment was dissected during the weekend episode by host Kiccha Sudeep.
The Breaking Point
Gilli’s Storytelling. Gilli, famous for his "Property Comedy" and storytelling style, narrates events in his house as movie scenes to entertain contestants. Recently while telling a story about his bond with Kavya, he teased Rakshitha that she had "feelings" for him. This caught on with Rakshitha, who has been re-shaping her image after talking over the weekend.
Rakshitha’s Sharp Rebuttal
Rakshitha, irked by Gilli’s narration, snapped: “You have absolutely no qualities of the man I want to marry. You are not my boyfriend or husband material. The standards I have set for my life partner are nowhere to be found in you.”
Kavya asked her about her former comment “I want a guy like Gilli” and Rakshitha confirmed that while he had her interest in his humor, the general demeanor and some habits he used were a sticking point for her. She noted that she has kept asking Gilli to modify his behavior, and, at this point in time, she no longer sees him in a romantic light.
Finale Week: The Current Standings
With Dhruvanth rumored to have been eliminated in its midnight mid-week eviction (Wednesday), the challengers are divided into the Top 6: Dhanush (TTF Winner), Gilli, Raghu, Kavya, Rakshitha and Ashwini. For all that Gilli remains a megastar for winning this prize thanks to his 1.3 million fans, his love affairs with Kavya and Rakshitha are ultimately his largest distraction in those final minutes.
