Controversies:

Second Week nomination task Sweta Varma slammed Hamida, Uma Devi, and Lobo as well. While Sweta nominated Lobo and Hamida while hitting back at them, she lashed out at Uma Devi for disrespecting Anee. Sweta considers Anee as a motherly figure. She condemned Uma Devi's act of disrespecting Anee during the nomination task adding that they can't afford to lose 'humanity and respect for their co-contestant' despite it being a reality TV show. However, on the contrary, Sweta soon slapped Hamida and Lobo with color. This was questioned by Shailaja Priya and netizens as well. Sweta earned flak on social media for her contradictory action during the nominations task though she tried to justify and quickly apologised for the same.
Mangli is said to have backed out in the last minute because a delegation of BJP leaders is said to have lodged a complaint against Telugu folk singer Mangli alleging that the lyrics in her recently released Bonalu song ‘Chettu Kinda Kusunavamma’ were derogatory. However, Mangli ditching the show suddenly may not become a problem for the show organizers as they have a bunch of backup contestants to replace them.
