Bigg Boss Kannada Shocker: Influencer Eliminated on Premiere Night

On September 29, 2025, Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 witnessed a surprising elimination on its premiere night. Social media influencer Rakshitha Shetty from Udupi was the first contestant to be shown the exit door, in an unprecedented twist.

Most contestants had entered the house under the "singles and pairs" concept, but Rakshitha, along with Spandana Somanna and Mallu Nipanal, did not get that opportunity. Instead, Bigg Boss asked the housemates to vote on which of the three should leave immediately, a decision that sealed Rakshitha's fate.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, Rakshitha handled her exit with grace and positivity. Before leaving, she told the other contestants, "I may be leaving a little sooner than expected, but eventually, I have to walk out of this house one day. My turn just came a bit early." Her dignified response struck a chord with fans, many of whom expressed disappointment over her short stay on social media.

While some felt Rakshitha deserved more time to showcase her personality, others praised her for maintaining composure and optimism in a difficult moment. Her elimination has set the tone for a season already defined by unpredictability, as viewers can only anticipate more drama, twists, and emotional highs in the days to come.
