In the unpredictable realm of Bigg Boss 7 Telugu, Shobha Shetty, once likened to the notorious Monitha (Popular antagonist role in a TV serial that brought her fame), has undergone a remarkable transformation, altering her approach and demeanor in the past couple of weeks.
As Monitha with Bhole and Prince:
Initially infamous for her aggressive targeting of less popular housemates like Bhole and Prince, Shobha faced severe criticism from the audience. Despite receiving the least votes for eviction, she miraculously managed to escape elimination, raising suspicions about the fairness of the show.
Faked composed attitude when facing rejection from the audience:
Shobha’s demeanor took a sudden turn as she adopted a calmer and more composed attitude. Recent weeks witnessed her avoiding arrogance and loud behavior, making a conscious effort to engage positively with fellow contestants. Last week, she skillfully navigated the nomination process by speaking kindly to housemates she had previously clashed with. Her strategic interactions with Prince, Prashant, and Ashwini ensured her escape from the nomination list.
Back to Monitha now:
With the eviction of Rathika and Ashwini, Shobha found herself among the final two remaining female housemates. This newfound confidence prompted an unexpected move – the return of Monitha. Shobha, seemingly emboldened by her reduced competition and the absence of Amar from the nominations, reintroduced the aggressive and confrontational persona that had earned her comparisons to the infamous antagonist.
A striking incident during this resurgence was Shobha’s aggressive behavior towards Prashant. Unleashing a verbal tirade, she referred to him disrespectfully, disregarding his attempts to maintain a respectful tone by addressing her as “sister.” Shobha’s comments about skin color, comparing her fair complexion to Prashant’s darker skin, raised eyebrows and added a controversial layer to the confrontation.
It is intriguing to note that while Shobha’s behavior has oscillated between extreme aggression and calculated friendliness, the audience’s power to eliminate her remains nonexistent. The perception of the show’s makers intervening to protect her from eviction has led to skepticism among viewers. The presence of the star MAA trio – Amar, Shobha, and Priyanka – often sees their votes transferring to one another when not all three are in nominations. At times, Bigg Boss himself appears to design processes to ensure that all three are not simultaneously nominated.
As Shobha’s true colors resurface and the audience grapples with the unpredictability of the show, it becomes a test of endurance for viewers who may choose between enduring her antics or opting to stop watching Bigg Boss 7 Telugu!!
