Family Week continued in the Bigg Boss house, bringing a mix of emotional reunions, valuable advice, light-hearted moments and a crucial game-changing twist. As loved ones arrived one after another, viewers got to see a different side of the contestants—more vulnerable, more grounded, and more real. The episode ended with a dramatic reveal about the week’s elimination.
Suman’s Emotional Reunion & Srinivas Reddy’s Comic Punches
Suman broke down the moment he saw his children. His first question was about his mother’s health, reinforcing his image as a complete family man. Comedian Srinivas Reddy accompanied them and filled the house with humour. His daughter gave Suman a short but sharp piece of advice—don’t trust anyone blindly inside the house. Srinivas Reddy also appreciated Emanuel’s impeccable comic timing.

They called her “lady singam”, praising her fighting spirit. They also appreciated Bharani for maintaining a good emotional bond with Tanuja.

Elimination Twist: Emanuel Uses His Astra
After multiple savings, the bottom two were Sanjana and Divya. At this moment, Nagarjuna revealed that Emanuel could use his Astra power to cancel the week’s elimination.
Emanuel chose to use it, saving both contestants.
However, when Nagarjuna asked if they wanted to know the audience’s verdict, both agreed. It was then revealed that Divya would have been eliminated if the Astra hadn’t been used.
Family Week delivered emotional depth, strategic insights and surprising clarity about audience perception. Emanuel’s Astra saved the week from a major exit, setting the stage for high-stakes gameplay ahead as the season moves closer to its final stages.
