As Bigg Boss Telugu approaches its tenth season (to be rolled out on September 6), fans often wonder how former champions fared after their victories. The title has been claimed by stars across cinema, music, television, and social media, leading to varied post-show journeys. Season 1 winner Siva Balaji remained active in Telugu cinema, appearing in films like Manchu Vishnu's Kannappa. Season 3 champion Rahul Sipligunj reached greater heights by singing the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu from RRR, though he later faced public controversy over a legal complaint. Meanwhile, Season 2 winner Kaushal Manda built an online fanbase, yet later revealed that he did not gain the financial rewards he expected. It's believed that Siva Balaji and Kaushal have underperformed over the years. Since they had an early start and won the Bigg Boss title when the reality show was fresh, they should have fared far better. Other winners followed quieter or more mixed paths following their reality television triumphs. Season 4 winner Abijeet Duddala (he later acted in Modern Love Hyderabad, Miss Perfect), Season 5 titleholder VJ Sunny (he headlined the films Unstoppable and Sound Party), Season 6 winner L.V. Revanth, Season 7 champion Pallavi Prashanth (fondly known as the 'Raithu Bidda'), and later winners like Nikhil Maliyakkal (he fronted Vikram On Duty) and Kalyan Padala navigated fluctuating careers across acting, singing, social media, and television projects.
