The term 'Agni Pareeksha' is familiar to the Indian masses. It is associated with a trial by fire that is a litmus test of sorts. Usually, such a heavy term is reserved for finales and ultimate battles. For a change, it has been deployed to describe the nail-biting tension inherent to the shortlisted candidates for Bigg Boss Telugu (season 9).
It is known that the ninth edition of the ultra-popular reality show will feature common people as contestants. Already, this has been a much-debated reality in certain forums. The concept of 'Agni Pareeksha' has been introduced to finalize commoners who will enter the coveted house.
"This is an intense screening process conducted to carefully select the contestants who will entertain millions of viewers. From the thousands who submitted applications, 40 contestants have been shortlisted - and now they must face the Agni Pareeksha," the show's makers have said.
The nature of the Agni Pareeksha will be intense. If you want to know what all it entails, tune into Jio Hotstar and watch the trial by fire!
