Bigg Boss Telugu 2 has witnessed a decent jump in its TRP ratings in week 28 of 2018. The Nani-hosted reality show has apparently helped Star Maa lead the list of top five popular Telugu TV channels.

Star Maa has left no stone unturned to make the season 2 of Bigg Boss Telugu bigger success than the season 1. This season failed to beat the opening week record of the previous season. Many blamed it upon host Nani, who was criticised over his host skills in the first week. He was also trolled for the same.

But Nani overcame his shortcomings and showed tremendous growth in his performance. The viewers slowly started falling in love with the way he cracks jokes and teases the housemates. He has definitely boosted the viewership of Bigg Boss Telugu 2 with its ratings jumping from 6.1 to 6.5 TRPs in the 28th week.

Vamsi Kaka, a PRO and observer of happenings in the Telugu states, tweeted, "Star Maa No.1 with 862 GRP, growth of 54 points over last week. Highest ever GRPs in the History of Maa BIGG BOSS has improved from 6.1 to 6.5 TVR (Sat 8, Sun 9.8, M-F 5.6) @StarMaa @RaghuStarMaa."
