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.
For season 5, the makers have made the house more vibrant and royal. 'Five’ is the running theme in the house and the classic 'jail' that housed contestants was also missing this time in its usual spot. Instead, the swimming pool is changed into a bunker jail. This season also has audience viewing the show, an important aspect that was scrapped last time because of the raging coronavirus pandemic.

Pavni lost her husband to suicide in merely four years after their marriage in 2013. Her husband Pradeep was also a popular serial actor. Pavni said that she was devastated after her husband's death.
