“Chi, chi, chi! I wondered, ‘What kind of thing is this?’

Nagarjuna actually visited the Bigg Boss set at Annapurna Studios out of pure curiosity. He wanted to see the house environment. He said that the contestants were already inside and he just went in to check the vibe.

But he felt very awkward watching the contestants secretly through cameras. He laughed and said that he felt disgusted watching people secretly. He wondered what kind of work this was and admitted that he could not handle that atmosphere.

If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stay in that house at all!

Nagarjuna also mentioned in an old interview that he feels surprised seeing contestants live without phones or outside contact for weeks. He clearly stated that he cannot survive inside the Bigg Boss house even for a single day. He called it an impossible task for him.
