The Heartwarming "Gilli" Connection

As the families of Dhanush, Suraj, and Rashika entered the house, the tension of the competition momentarily dissolved. During a candid conversation with the housemates, Dhanush’s mother, Vijayalakshmi, expressed her admiration for the house’s resident comedian, Gilli Nata.

Despite her son being a strong contender in the house, she didn't hold back in praising Gilli’s entertaining persona.

"If my son weren't in the house, all my votes would have gone to Gilli Nata. I love his comedy and the way he keeps the atmosphere lively," she shared, leaving the contestants and Gilli himself in splits.

Family Week: A Boost for Gilli Nata

Gilli Nata, who has been a polarizing figure due to his sharp wit and occasional friction with other contestants, received a significant morale boost this week. It wasn't just Dhanush’s mother who showered him with affection; Suraj’s mother and sister also expressed their fondness for his "high-energy" presence.

  • Suraj’s Sister: Noted that while others target Gilli for not being "physically strong" in tasks, his mental spirit and ability to cheer up "dull" contestants make him a standout.
  • The Consensus: The families seemed to agree that Gilli Nata is the primary "entertainer" of the season, helping the housemates cope with the stress of isolation.

Dhanush’s Emotional Journey

While his mother was busy praising his co-contestant, Dhanush Gowda had a deeply emotional reunion. The Geetha actor, known for his calm demeanor, broke down upon seeing his mother. The visit provided him with much-needed emotional support as the show nears its grand finale.

The Road to the Finale

With only a few weeks left before the winner of BBK 12 is crowned, such endorsements from family members often sway public opinion. Gilli Nata, who is currently nominated for eviction, might find his "fan-favorite" status solidified following these warm testimonials from the very people who know his competitors best.

The episode ended with a "Big Twist" for Dhanush, as teased by the makers, hinting that the final leg of the journey will be the most challenging one yet for the young actor.
