One of the most formidable contestants of Bigg Boss 3 is the Malaysia-based actor and singer Mugen Rao. The actor is known for his likeability amongst contestants and audiences. Hosted by Kamal Haasan, the show has now included Kasturi as the wild card contestant.
In a special interview to Behindwoods, Mugen's brother Vignesh Rao speaks about his brother, and the impact of Bigg Boss in their family. When asked about what kind of brother Mugen is, he said that "When we were children, we used to fight all the time. But after we grew older, we became protective of each other."
Vignesh admitted that Mugen's candid reveal about family issues has caused a lot of upset within family members. He said "It was very bad. It felt a bit embarrassing when he spoke about our family in an open manner. Our family felt a bit let down by that. I am saying this because social media can turn a positive issue into a negative one and vice versa. Our family is happy and without our parents' support, we wouldn't have come this far."
He also added that "It would have been much better had he not said about any of that. What I felt after that was why don't Bigg Boss cease to be a game show and provokes the contestants' inner feelings and family problems insted. My father cried after watching that segment. " Vignesh felt that his family felt a bit disappointed while watching that portion.
When asked about his mother's reaction to Abhirami, who has feelings for Mugen, he said "My mother's reaction was like 'Who is she, what is she doing, and why is she stuck with him' when she sees Abhirami and Mugen together." He said that his mother is a jovial person
