Thanuja Trolled for ‘Special Treatment’ in Bigg Boss: Is Nagarjuna Showing Bias?

Thanuja Special Treatment in Bigg Boss: The next headline maker for Bigg Boss Telugu season has become Thanuja. During her introductory segment, Nagarjuna Akkineni stirred up some online chatter with this one statement. “Thanuja is an Annapurna Studios Product.” While the remark was probably meant to acknowledge her training or professional background, the fans swiftly took to interpreting it as a signal of special favoritism, thereby launching a fresh wave of trolling and speculating on the various social media levels.

What Fuels These Claims of ‘Special Treatment’

There have been several moments in the Bigg Boss house that have added more fuel to the fire over these past weeks. Nagarjuna has been apparently going into the Confession Room to ask after Thanuja’s emotional state much more than any other contestants. The viewers have also observed that he speaks to her more kindly and softly. And she gets away with the least criticism from him, even when she is a central figure in major house conflicts. Fans branded this behavior as “VIP treatment” and claim that her relationship with Annapurna Studios could affect how she is being portrayed in the show.

Backlash On Social Media and Fan Reactions

Twitter (X) and Instagram were littered with memes and sarcastic comments. Like “Why is Thanuja getting special treatment?” “If she’s from Annapurna Studios, is this scripted?”. Hashtags like #ThanujaBias and #BiggBossFavoritism gained regional trending status, intensifying the debate among Telugu reality TV fan circles.

Favoritism or Familiarity?

To some audiences, this is blatant bias; for others, Nagarjuna’s tone, at least, is rather one of empathy. And that empathy only applies if Thanuja seemed stressed or alone. Whatever the intention may be. However, the audience’s perception of favoritism is already shaping the opinion of the audience. And making Thanuja one of the most polarizing contestants of this Bigg Boss season. Time will tell whether she can change the narrative or whether the “special treatment” tag will just follow her to the end.
