That heat may have faded in Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12. In Saturday’s Pre-Final episode, host Kiccha Sudeep followed up with comments that had been on top of the finalists’ minds all along: “Which is your favorite spot in the house, and why?” The responses offered a fascinating glimpse into how six people have pulled through more than 100 days of solitary confinement and constant scrutiny. In the kitchen and garden, everything had been a mute witness to their trip.
Rakshitha Shetty: The Kitchen Life’s Core Essence
Cookery was not simply a place for Rakshitha Shetty to clean after dishes in the background, it was also the centre of her social life. She moved her voice to shake as she spoke. “I’ll miss the kitchen the most,” she said, crying and wearing a teary expression. “We sat down to meals, then had our first big belly-crouches as a group, laughed, and all those moments we had our bloodiest battles at that point. To see that space void now I feel like I was left out of it, to me it seems like I'm being left by a part of me now."
The reality of Sudeep: Sudeep being taken by how sincere she felt, said the kitchen may symbolize the homeliness of the show, of the “homeliness” of the show’s identity, which Rakshitha embodied whole season.
Gilli Nata: snippets of the village in the garden
The season’s leading entertainer, Gilli Nata, moved more quietly to one spot. He gestured at a specific bench in garden zones. “When I sit there and look at those two trees, in front of me, it just goes back to my farm,” he said. And he selected to focus on the simplicity and rural roots it was that would make him a fan favorite. To Gilli, the garden was a haven where he could slice and dice — cut himself from cameras — and find “Shanti,” peace.
Ashwini Gowda: Wall Of Confidence
Of all the places, Ashwini Gowda found her favorite, and it was because of her professional ambition. On the wall, she selected images of contestants being awarded the “Kichchana Chappale” (Kiccha’s Applause). “Each time I saw my photo there, it gave me strength to keep fighting,” she said. Ashwini — brave and bold, a bold personality — was vulnerable for not being afraid to be the truth, and told the people she also prays every day for that recognition.
The “Individual Zones”: Calming Down and Tapping into God
The other finalists focused on places that best represented their survival plan:
Mutant Raghu: Where he picked the scene to smoke was called his “Relax Spot.” It was the only place, he found, where he could talk openly, unfiltered and get away from the physical, tedious work.
Dhanush Gowda: “Silent Performer” of the Season, Dhanush, predictably chose the Gym Area. He said morning training had helped to check both his head and his emotions all through the darkest part of the season.
Kavya Shaiva: Kavya chose her own bed. She referred to it as her “Comfort Zone” — the only place where it felt that she could just be herself during the night when speaking with her fellow housemates.
