Overview
- Host Vijay Sethupathi issued red cards to VJ Paaru and Kamarudin, ejecting them roughly two weeks before the January 11 finale, as shown in promos and the weekend episode.
- The disciplinary move came after the pair forced Sandra out of a car during an endurance task, after which she collapsed, received medical attention, and later asked to be sent home.
- Reports differed on Sandra’s condition, with some describing seizures, while Sethupathi stated on-air that she suffered a panic attack rather than fits.
- Outrage spread across social media, and former contestant Aadhirai Soundarajan criticized the channel, the host, and viewers for allowing toxic behavior to escalate.
- It marked the first time two red cards were handed out on Bigg Boss Tamil, according to India Today, while a Star Vijay source told NDTV there was no violence and termed the act aggressive.
