Bigg Boss Telugu Voting Season 10

Bigg Boss Telugu Season 10 at a glance

We'll update this guide if the show announces any change to the standard voting format.

Where to vote online for Bigg Boss Telugu

Two names come up and they do different jobs. Star Maa is the channel that airs Bigg Boss Telugu on television. JioHotstar is the streaming service that carries the show — and the counted vote is cast inside that app itself, so there's no separate voting app to download. Some weeks the show also publishes official missed-call numbers, most reliably around finale week. What a fan site like ours adds is an opinion poll — a read on the audience mood, clearly labelled as unofficial.

How to vote on JioHotstar, step by step

1. Open the JioHotstar app and sign in.
2. Search for Bigg Boss Telugu and play any of the latest season's episodes.
3. Look below the playing video for the Vote button — it appears only while a voting window is open.
4. The week's nominated contestants show up with their photos and names.
5. Tap the housemate you want to keep in the house, then tap Done.
6. That's your vote for the day — come back tomorrow and vote again while the window is open.

Missed-call numbers, the Fan Zone mix-up and what changed since the Google-voting years are covered in how to vote in Bigg Boss Telugu.

The weekly voting schedule — nominations to eviction

The season runs on a steady weekly rhythm:

The show owns the clock, though. Each week's exact open and close times are set on the broadcast, and a window can be extended, cut short or skipped when a twist calls for it — finale week always runs to its own schedule.

Bigg Boss Telugu voting results — where they really come from

The show doesn't publish running totals while a window is open. Anything promising live Bigg Boss Telugu voting results today — percentage bars, "leaked" trends, our own poll included — is audience opinion or estimation, not the count. The only result that's real is the eviction announced on the weekend episode.

What a fan poll is honestly good for is the trend: which housemate fans are rallying behind, and how that mood moves across the week. Once the season is on air, our weekly voting-results hub will track each week's nominations, poll standings and eviction in one place.

How nominations work in Bigg Boss Telugu

Nominations in the Telugu house happen in the open. The week starts with face-to-face nominations: housemates name the people they want out, to their faces, with a reason — and the show usually wraps the ritual in a task with some theatre to it. Seasons have had housemates smash a pot, set a photograph alight or smear paint on the person they're nominating. The private confession-room nomination exists in the wider format, but in the Telugu edition it's the rare exception, not the routine.

It isn't a pure headcount, though. Captaincy and immunity pull names off the list, and Bigg Boss can add or save someone outright. Once the list is locked, those are the housemates the public can vote to keep in.

How eliminations work in Bigg Boss Telugu

The eviction plays out across the weekend. On Saturday's episode Nagarjuna reviews the week with the housemates and starts pulling nominees to safety, one at a time. On Sunday's episode, the nominee left with the fewest audience votes leaves the house.

That's the standard week, not a guaranteed one. Some weeks end in a double eviction, some in no eviction at all, and a season's twists can change an exit entirely: wildcards enter, housemates walk out or are ejected, someone takes a suitcase of prize money and leaves. The steady part is that the audience vote is the spine of the eviction, subject to the season's announced rules.

That gap between the vote and the twists is also why people ask whether Bigg Boss Telugu is scripted. Two Season 9 exits did not come from the public vote at all.

Who will win Bigg Boss Telugu 10?

Nobody can tell you, and be wary of anyone who claims they can. The winner is decided by the audience vote across finale week, and the show reveals the winner without publishing anyone's vote count. What we can show you is which way fans are leaning in the poll above, and what winning has looked like across nine seasons on the winners list.

Quick answers about Bigg Boss Telugu voting

Which app has the official vote?

JioHotstar — the streaming app that carries the show. Star Maa airs it on television; the counted vote happens inside the app.

How many votes do you get?

One vote per account per day in the JioHotstar app, while the window is open. Details on the vote-allowance rules.

What day is the eviction announced?

On the Sunday episode, after Saturday's saves. Voting closes before the weekend, and the result is revealed on the show — not online first.

Are voting numbers made public?

No. There are no official running totals during the week. Percentages you see on fan sites, including our poll, are audience opinion — the real count stays with the show.

Is there a missed call number?

Some weeks, yes — Season 9's finale week had official contestant-wise missed call numbers alongside the app vote. Only ever use a number the show itself has published; the details are in the missed-call voting section of the guide.

Can you vote for Bigg Boss Telugu on Google?

Not any more. In the show's early seasons a vote ran directly in Google search results — our team covered those seasons — but that route was retired once voting moved into the streaming app. If a site tells you to "vote on Google" for the current season, that advice is years out of date.

Is the Agnipariksha vote the same as the Bigg Boss vote?

No. Agnipariksha is the pre-show that picks the commoner contestants, and it runs its own audience vote on its own shortlist before the season starts. Season 2 is confirmed and its voting method hasn't been published yet. Details are on the Agnipariksha 2 page.

What is the Fan Zone in JioHotstar?

A separate superfan section that recent Bigg Boss seasons have carried on the show's page in the app, with daily questions and polls while the season runs. It's engagement, with its own perks — answering there is not the eviction vote, and it doesn't save anyone from nomination.

How voting went in Season 9

The most recent completed season is the best guide to what Season 10 will look like. Season 9 premiered on 7 September 2025 and ran 105 days to a grand finale on 21 December 2025, hosted by Nagarjuna Akkineni for a seventh consecutive season. Twenty-two housemates entered across the run, counting the wildcards. The Season 9 archive has every exit in order, and the full cast list has all of them and how far each one got.

Kalyan Padala won it, the first champion to come through the Agnipariksha route, ahead of Thanuja Puttaswamy. You can see every season's result on the winners list, and how our poll differs from the show's vote on official voting vs fan poll.
