In the debates that followed, another housemate, Thamarai, asks Pavni why she hadn’t stayed away from Abhinay, and why give room for such gossips by talking to him? Kamal Haasan was quick enough to stop her, but, sadly again, he failed to point out the deep flaws in such an argument. On Sunday’s episode though, he had a different take.īigg Boss' Tamil's kurumpadam (short film) on Pavni talking to housemates about her apprehensions over Abhinay’s apparent interest in her, was shown perhaps to drive home the point that if she could speak about it to other housemates, why shouldn’t they? Sadly, the kurumpadam was wildly cheered by some housemates while Pavni looked every bit embarrassed.

On day one of his weekend episode, Kamal Haasan was seen taking Pavni’s side, wondering why should the housemates be concerned about her personal life.īut of course, Kamal Haasan is known to be fiercely protective of his personal life and is, in principle, against anyone talking about it. The rumour mills did not stop grinding till Kamal Haasan, the host of the show - and who is ‘proud of his party Makkal Neethi Maiyam’s gender representation’ - addressed the issue recently. While Pavni herself had felt that Abhinay was ‘sometimes going overboard,’ was ‘overtly concerned and caring,’ and had sought some clarity from her fellow housemates, Abhinay continued to maintain that he is married, and that his expression of concern should only be viewed as ‘friendship.’ It didn’t matter to him that he was concerned to the point of making Pavni uncomfortable. She protested when the housemates made it a topic of discussion during their tasks assigned by Bigg Boss The friendship between Pavni and actor Abhinay has kept the rumour mills grinding inside the house. If they could get some good ratings, why not? And they have a housemate handy to try this on - serial actor Pavni, who is in the house this season. The reality show, currently on its fifth season, can be more misogynistic, insensitive and blatantly indulge in victim shaming than any serial currently on air on Vijay TV.

However, if serials are like classes on victim-shaming, Bigg Boss is a masterclass.
