[welcomewiki]

Bigg Boss Telugu season 5 is all set to premiere on September 5 (Sunday). Fans are quite excited about the contestants participating in this season. The list of Bigg Boss Telugu contestants includes celebs across TV, film, music and social media as well. Ahead of the glitzy launch on Sunday, here’s a quick look at what the popular ex-Bigg Boss Telugu contestants are doing now.

Siva Balaji


The popular actor emerged as the winner of the debut season of the reality show hosted by Jr NTR. He is known for his straightforward, affable nature and was a rebel with a reason. However, on the career front, his Bigg Boss stint did not do wonders for the actor as expected by many. Besides producing a film in which he played the lead, he made a few guest appearances on TV. Siva Balaji made headlines with his fight against corporate schools charging fees during the lockdown. (Photo: Instagram)

This actor’s performance in Bigg Boss Telugu season 1 hosted by Jr NTR was well admired. However, he was more focused on his acting career in movies and went onto feature in successful films like PSV Garuda Vega, Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava, Colour Photo and others. (Photo: Instagram)

Kaushal Manda


Bigg Boss Telugu 2 winner Kaushal Manda earned stardom with the reality show. The contestant made a huge noise with his stint in the house and controversial fan club ‘Kaushal Army’. Kaushal after a while made an unsuccessful re-entry into TV with his show Suryavamsham. However, the show soon went off-air before the lockdown took over. He is now playing the antagonist in an upcoming Telugu movie starring Aadi in the lead role. (Photo: Instagram)
