Bigg Boss Telugu 10 Agnipariksha 2 contestants: the full top 15 list
All fifteen contestants for Bigg Boss Agnipariksha season 2 are now on the show, and this page lists every one of them with what they did before the cameras arrived.
The season began on 15 August 2026 and runs to 5 September 2026, hosted by Sreemukhi, with Abijeet, Bindu Madhavi and Navdeep on the jury. What is at stake is a place in the Bigg Boss Telugu 10 house: Agnipariksha is the route by which commoners, rather than actors and anchors, get through the door.
Last year that route produced the winner of the whole season, which is why the list below is worth more than a glance.
Our reader vote on the fifteen has been running since 21 August 2026 and closes on 4 September 2026. You can cast one a day.

How the selection actually works
Agnipariksha translates as trial by fire, and the format is built around the phrase. Applicants are cut down to a shortlist who then compete on camera through tasks designed to test how they behave under pressure rather than what they can perform. The reasoning is straightforward: the Bigg Boss house rewards personality far more than talent.
Season one ran the same funnel. 45 auditioned, 15 were selected, and the survivors went into the main house, some picked by public vote and the rest by the judges.
What season one's class actually did
This is the honest case for taking the pre-show seriously, and it is checkable against our own season records rather than being a claim about the future.
6 of the fifteen season one contestants went into the Bigg Boss Telugu 9 house. Here is where each finished, out of a cast of 22:
| Contestant | Finished |
|---|---|
| Kalyan Padala | #1 |
| Demon Pavan | #3 |
| Srija Dammu | #18 |
| Harita Harish | #19 |
| Priya Shetty | #20 |
| Maryada Manish | #21 |
Kalyan Padala won the season outright. The rest went out earlier, which is the other half of the picture. Coming through Agnipariksha gets you in the door, not to the final.
The complete season one record is archived at Agnipariksha Season 1.
What happens next
The selection rounds run to 5 September 2026, and the contestants who survive them walk into Bigg Boss Telugu 10. Season one split that decision between the public and the judges, so how many go through is not fixed in advance.
Our own vote closes on 4 September 2026, a day at a time, and the running standings are above. The full season record sits on the Agnipariksha Season 2 page.
How this list was sourced
Every name here is a contestant we hold a record for, with a profile page behind it. We do not publish predicted or wishlist casts, because a list that is half invented makes the confirmed half worthless.
