Bigg Boss Tamil season 9 has kickstarted and 20 contestants have joined the race for 100 days. As usual, this time too, there is a mix bag of contestants but most of them are from social media background. With no surprise that Bigg Boss is filled with arguments and controversies, the first one to appear is one debate involving Praveen Gandhi, Tushaar, Vikkals Vikram and Nandhini.
Praveen Gandhi’s men vs women debate doesn’t sit well with Kani
On the first day, Praveen Gandhi, Vikkals Vikram, Tushaar and Nandhini were among the firsts to be out of bed. When they were talking, Praveen Gandhi talked about the male and female psyche and how the latter do not like men sleeping and do nothing. However, this did not sit well with Kani, who although didn’t take part in the conversation, said this in Vikram and Nandhini. She said that she would like to stay away from this argument but expressed her opinion to certain housemates.
This all started with the men talking about how it is seldom that men compliment men, while Nandhini weighs in her thoughts on how it takes a lot for women to pass a compliment. Praveen Gandhi also predicted that there will be 2-3 love stories in the Bigg Boss house this season, to which Nandhini questions if love is still a content. It looks like Praveen Gandhi will be one of the contestants exhibiting controversial opinions.
Tushaar’s mic fail makes Vikram stick to him
Contestants were asked to change his mic. However, Tushaar’s mic didn’t work and thus, he was sticking around Vikram so that his mic could pick up his voice. Meanwhile, Tushaar who is also part of super deluxe house, said it is “torture deluxe” given it had so much of mosquitoes.
Housemates were made to pick between blue and red badge before they entered the house. With most of them picking red badge, the blue ones were given the luxurious space of the house.
