Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12: Spandana, Rakshitha, and Mallu Nipanal Face Immediate Risk
Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 began with high drama as host Kiccha Sudeep welcomed 19 contestants into the famous house. The new season, which carries the tagline “Expect the Unexpected,” has already surprised viewers from the very first episode.
This year, the show introduced the theme of “singles and pairs.” Most participants entered the house with their game roles already decided. However, the final three contestants — Spandana Somanna, Rakshitha Shetty, and Mallu Nipanal — were placed in a different situation that shocked everyone.
Unlike the other housemates, these three were not given the choice to play as singles or in pairs. Instead, Bigg Boss announced a shocking twist during the grand premiere. The housemates were asked to decide which one among Spandana, Rakshitha, and Mallu should be evicted immediately.
The sudden decision created tension inside the house, turning a moment of excitement into an emotional atmosphere. Viewers are now waiting to see who will survive this unexpected challenge and continue the journey in Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12.
The highly anticipated reality show Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 has officially begun with a brand-new house, theme, and contestants. Host Kichcha Sudeep, who continues to anchor the show, has completed the shoot for the opening episode and shared an update with fans on social media.
The first episode is set to air today (September 28) at 6 PM on Colors Kannada and Jio Hotstar.
This season features a diverse lineup of participants. Actor Cockroach Sudhi, popular for his villainous roles in films like Tagaru, Salaga, and Bhima, was the first contestant to enter the Bigg Boss house. Making his entry with a bold warning, he introduced himself as “violent and arrogant,” raising expectations for drama inside the house.
The second confirmed contestant is actress Manju Bhashini, known for her performances in television serials such as Mayamruga, Silli Lalli, and Puttakkana Makkalu. Social media personality Mallamma from North Karnataka, famous for her outspoken style, entered as the third contestant.
With the first promos already creating a buzz, the new season promises an engaging mix of personalities and entertainment. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the dynamics unfold inside the Bigg Boss house.
“Our hearts are full, and our world is forever changed. We feel truly blessed with the arrival of our baby girl,” the couple shared in a touching joint post.Messages of congratulations flooded in from across the industry. Filmmaker Siddharth P Malhotra was one of the first to express his happiness, commenting, “Many many many congratulations.” Actor Shaheen Bhatt joined in with a joyful “Yay! Congratulations,” while celebrity designer Manish Malhotra conveyed his affection through pink heart emojis. Athiya Shetty’s comment was simple yet sweet, as she posted a heart emoji in support.
The couple shared their pregnancy news in February with a tender Instagram post that featured tiny white baby socks. Their caption read, “The greatest gift of our lives.”
Since then, Kiara and Sidharth have kept much of their journey private, making only a few public appearances. Their romantic story isn’t a secret to Bollywood enthusiasts; sparks flew between them on the set of their 2021 war drama ‘Shershaah’, where Sidharth portrayed Captain Vikram Batra and Kiara was Dimple Cheema.
What began as on-screen chemistry blossomed into a real-life romance. They tied the knot in a lavish yet intimate ceremony in Rajasthan in February 2023, surrounded by family and close friends from the industry.
Kiara proudly showcased her baby bump at the Met Gala in 2025, wearing a custom Gaurav Gupta ensemble that elegantly fused traditional Indian craftsmanship with contemporary fashion.
Even as they embrace parenthood, both stars remain committed to their careers. Kiara is set to star in ‘War 2’, directed by Ayan Mukerji, which features a star-studded cast including Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR as part of YRF’s expanding spy universe. Sidharth is gearing up for his role in ‘Param Sundari’, where he stars alongside Janhvi Kapoor.
