Actor-politician Kamal Haasan returned to host the fifth season of Bigg Boss Tamil on October 3, that introduced all the 18 new contestants. Ranging from actors and TV hosts to singers and entrepreneurs, the reality show on Vijay kicked off in style, with several performances, glitz and glamour.
The first day inside the house is always lively and fun-filled right from the start. For the unversed, every day in Bigg Boss House starts with a peppy song that keeps contestants pumped up for the day. Everyone enthusiastically got up to dance for the trending 'Per Vechalum' song from 'Dikkiloona'. Namitha Marimuthu, Iykki Berry, Priyanka Deshpande and all the ladies got to dance right away and filled the room with much-needed energy.
At one point Thamarai Selvi got emotional as she missed her two boys. Iykki Berry consoled her saying that her kids will be watching her on TV and that she should be strong.
After arranging groceries, the contestants got together following Bigg Boss' instructions. He asked them to choose the house leader for the week and five contestants - Namitha, Niroop, Pavni, Raju and Chinna Ponnu - stood up for the post.
While a single leader wasn't chosen, Bigg Boss handed them the decision to chose as to which job they will take up inside the house - cooking, vessel washing, bathroom cleaning and house keeping. Straight up Raju chose bathroom cleaning and Priyanka teased her by asking him why he chose an easy job and puts together a hilarious song, "Naanga ellam onnu aanom, Kakkoos Kazhuvi friend aanom." Chinna Ponnu chose cooking, Pavni chose house keeping and Namitha chose vessel washing. Of course, Priyanka had a song for each one too!
Later in the day, Isaivani,Priyanka, Iykki, Nadia and Suruthi were seen recreating the trending instagram content of saying "no" in all emotions. Imman Annachi joined and acted along with them. Priyanka also tasked them with saying the word in a 'flirty' tone. "Kilukiluppa sollanum," she said to Imman Annachi and asked him to act as well.
Raju Jeyamohan quickly became the entertainer in the house by cracking up jokes here and there, but the pinnacle was when he was narrating ghost stories to Thamarai Selvi. Iykki Berry, Akshara Reddy and Varun were listening and watching him narrate. At the end of the story Thamarai was seen screaming and looked scared to death while the other contestants had a hearty laugh.
