11. Singer Jhansi
Gundeboina Jhansi is a folk singer who entered the competition through Bigg Boss Agnipariksha. Coming from a humble background, she impressed the judges and viewers with her confidence and determination.

12. Charan Mahadev
Charan Mahadev, popularly known as RJ Charan, is a radio jockey and one of the contestants selected from Agnipariksha. His communication skills and outspoken personality helped him remain noticeable during the selection programme. The house will test whether he can use the same qualities to form strong alliances.
13. Rohit Naidu Patnam
Rohit Naidu emerged as one of the strongest and most popular participants during Agnipariksha. His performances in the tasks and support from viewers kept him ahead in the voting trends. He will now have to prove whether that early popularity can survive the politics of the main house.
14. Shalini Patel
Shalini Patel is a model who grabbed attention during Agnipariksha with her bold personality. She was vocal about her opinions and did not hesitate to confront the other contestants. That outspoken nature could either make her a powerful player or place her at the centre of the season’s first major fights.
15. Srishti Vyakaranam
Shiva Srishti Vyakaranam comes from a modelling and acting background and reportedly won the Miss India Andhra Pradesh title in 2017. She was among the notable faces of Agnipariksha and managed to secure a place in the main show. Bigg Boss will offer her a much larger platform to introduce herself to Telugu audiences.
16. Aman Masud
Aman Masud is an actor and model who participated in Bigg Boss Agnipariksha. He remained one of the most-discussed contestants during the selection stage and also performed strongly in the voting trends. His confidence and existing equations with the commoner contestants could influence the game from the opening week.
With comedians, actors, television heartthrobs and six hungry commoners under one roof, Bigg Boss Telugu 10 has assembled a lineup with plenty of scope for clashes, friendships and unexpected rivalries. The real game, however, will begin only after the contestants drop their public images and reveal their true personalities inside the house.
