Reality TV thrives on surprises, but no one expected this. Just a day after entering the Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 house, hosted by Sudeep, popular YouTuber Rakshita Shetty from Udupi was eliminated. This sudden exit has sparked a frenzy on social media.
Rakshita came into the show with infectious energy and was expected to be one of the season's standout contestants. From Tulu Nadu, she had already gained a loyal following online. Her attempts to speak Kannada, often in broken phrases, made her a target for trolls but endearing to many. Joining Bigg Boss was her chance for a fresh start. Instead, it led to one of the quickest exits in the show’s history.
The twist was dramatic and controversial. Contestants were divided into singles, pairs, and “outsiders.” Rakshita, along with Maalu Nipanala and Spandana, found herself among the outsiders. The rules were harsh: only two could remain, and one had to go. Six contestants made the decision, not the audience. In tense discussions, Rakshita’s social media fame worked against her. Some argued that she already had her platform outside the house. The outcome saw Maalu and Spandana stay, while Rakshita was sent home.
As she left, Rakshita stayed calm, speaking positively and accepting the result without drama. Still, fans were not convinced. Many think this was more of a staged prank than a real elimination. After all, Bigg Boss has used such tricks before.
On Twitter and Instagram, hashtags like #JusticeForRakshita and #BringBackRakshita started trending overnight. “This can’t be real, she didn’t even get 24 hours inside,” one fan wrote, while another joked, “Bigg Boss turned into Blink And Miss Rakshita.” Others praised her composure, calling her exit “graceful but unfair.”
Whether this is a temporary twist or a permanent goodbye, one thing is clear: Rakshita Shetty’s brief time on the show has already become one of the defining moments of Bigg Boss Kannada 12. In the unpredictable world of reality TV, sometimes just one day is enough to capture the spotlight.
