The recent elimination in Bigg Boss Season 7 has stirred both relief and emotions among the viewers as Shobha Shetty bid farewell to the house just a week before the grand finale. Shobha’s journey in the house has been marked by a series of close calls, consistently landing at the bottom in unofficial polls. However, to the surprise and sometimes frustration of the audience, Bigg Boss repeatedly saved Shobha from eviction until her final departure in the 14th week.
Announcement of Shobha’s Elimination:
The announcement of Shobha’s elimination was a departure from the routine. Instead of the usual pattern of saving each contestant nominated, Nagarjuna, the host, chose to announce the finalists directly. After revealing the first five finalists, the spotlight shifted to Shivaji and Shobha Shetty, competing for the last coveted finalist slot. The tension reached its peak as both contestants were summoned to the activity area. In the end, Nagarjuna declared Shobha’s elimination, a decision that seemed predictable given Shivaji’s stronger voting record. Prince securing a spot in the finals further solidified the audience’s anticipation of Shobha’s exit.
House Reaction:
The house witnessed mixed reactions to Shobha’s departure. Upon learning the news, Shobha shared a heartfelt moment with her close friends Amar and Priyanka. Priyanka, visibly emotional, shed tears for her departing friend, while Amar’s expression remained stoic. Surprisingly, Shobha went on to fall at Shivaji’s feet as a parting gesture, seeking forgiveness for any unintentional wrongs. Shivaji, in a gracious response, assured her not to worry about past events. Prince also took the opportunity to apologize to Shobha for any misunderstandings that occurred in the previous week.
On the stage:
As Shobha stepped onto the stage, her emotions came to the forefront. What seemed like a brave face inside the house gave way to tears and vulnerability on the stage. Nagarjuna offered words of comfort and support, consoling Shobha during this challenging moment. Before her departure, Nagarjuna requested Shobha to share one positive and one negative comment about each finalist. Shobha provided candid insights, praising Arjun for his positive attributes and advising him not to overthink. She acknowledged Priyanka’s commendable performance, admitted her own mistakes, and playfully critiqued Prashant. In a light-hearted moment, she humorously commented on Amar, highlighting his flaws.
Shobha’s journey in Bigg Boss Season 7 will be remembered by various sections of the audience. Some will recall her as a resilient player who survived 14 weeks in the house, while others might associate her with frequent tears and childish behavior during game losses. Shobha’s haughtiness and rude remarks, particularly towards less popular contestants like Bhole Shavali and Prashant, have left a lasting impact on viewers. Notably, she holds the distinction of being labeled the most biased Sanchalak (referee) in the history of Bigg Boss Telugu.
Shobha Shetty’s elimination has added an extra layer of intrigue to the final countdown of Bigg Boss Season 7, leaving viewers eager to witness the unfolding drama and unpredictable twists in the Finale week.
