Priyanka Singh, the latest addition to Bigg Boss season 5, is an actress and comedian based in Hyderabad.

She becomes the second transgender woman to enter the Bigg house, after Tamanna Simhadri in Bigg Boss Telugu season 4.

Priyanka Singh fought her way to the face of mainstream entertainment; thanks to her successful journey with Jabardasth, a popular comedy TV show that needs no introduction.

Although she joined Jabardasth initially to only ‘play’ female characters, it is her association with the show and her TikTok followers that gave her the much-needed courage and strength to get the gender reassignment surgery as she always wanted to since childhood.

Priyanka took a break from her projects to focus on her health complications post her sex reassignment surgery. She reportedly suffered from hormonal imbalance and many other ailments. Priyanka accredits her friends for her recovery.

She was born Sai Teja, one of the youngest of the three siblings. Though her mother was supportive, she is waiting for acceptance from her father. "I'll remain your Teja ever daddy, please understand and accept me," Priyanka made an emotional plea on the stage of Bigg Boss Telugu season 5.

Priyanka in one of her recent online interviews revealed that former Jabardasth judge Nagababu Konidela is financially assisting her. She added that he was assured to support her financially until she is settled in life.
