Naga
Manikanta
Asks
Soniya
For
A
Hug

Naga
Manikanta’s
behaviour
inside
the
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
8
house
has
turned
weird.
In
the
first
two
or
three
days,
he
tried
to
earn
the
sympathy
of
the
viewers
and
the
housemates
by
sharing
his
sad
personal
life
story.
In
the
latest
episodes
of
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
8,
Naga
Manikanta
was
seen
coercing
Soniya
for
a
hug
which
she
obliged
and
held
Yashmi
from
behind
without
her
consent,
despite
her
rebuffing
him.
Yashmi
later
broke
down
and
shed
tears
saying,
“Bigg
Boss,
I
can’t
take
anymore.
He
is
the
most
fake
person
I
have
ever
come
across.” Later
Yashmi
was
also
seen
telling
others
that
she
would
continue
to
nominate
him
throughout
the
season.

On
the
other
hand,
Soniya,
who
followed
him
back
to
the
lobby
area
said
that
she
has
to
play
the
game
now
and
would
lose
strength
if
she
hugs
him.
However,
they
ended
up
hugging
each
other.
Manikanta
asking
Soniya
for
hugs,
and
doing
this
inside
the
house
didn’t
come
in
good
taste
for
the
viewers.

Manikanta’s
Background
&
Personal
Life

He
lost
his
father
when
he
was
too
young
and
his
mother
re-married.
He
has
a
half-sister
and
reportedly
faced
insults
from
his
stepfather.
After
growing
up,
Manikanta’s
mother
was
diagnosed
with
Cancer
and
she
succumbed.
On
the
day
of
her
memorial,
he
left
the
house
to
make
his
future.

Manikanta
then
tried
his
luck
in
the
Telugu
TV
industry
and
also
appeared
for
a
job
which
he
secured.
After
getting
into
the
job,
he
married
his
collegemate
Priya.
Priya
is
a
techie
who
works
and
lives
in
the
US.
She
took
Manikanta
along
with
her
and
they
gave
birth
to
a
baby
girl.
All
things
went
haywire
when
Manikanta
failed
to
look
for
a
job
in
the
USA,
prompting
Priya
to
send
him
back.

After
entering
the
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
8
house,
by
selling
his
personal
life
story,
Manikanta
said
that
he
needs
his
wife
and
daughter
and
winning
this
show
can
make
it
possible.
Meanwhile,
he
tried
to
picture
his
wife
as
a
bad
woman
but
again
in
the
second
week,
he
mentioned
that
Priya
was
a
nice
girl
and
she
lent
him
financial
support
for
taking
part
in
the
show.
