Fans are eagerly awaiting the first elimination of Bigg Boss Tamil 5 which will be revealed at the end of tonight's episode (October 17). As Kamal Haasan came as the host on screen for the second weekend in this season, he spoke about many events inside the house including Thamarai Selvi's captaincy and the altercation that she had with Chinna Ponnu about the same.
Dicussions about the task 'Oru Kadha Sollatuma' task too continued with the Actor-Politician noting the incidents that related to him the most. He also spoke to Isaivani regarding what made her feel left out. Most importantly, he announced that Priyanka, Akshara, Raju Jeyamohan, Niroop, Isaivani Suruthu, Ciby, Iykki Berry, Abhinay Vaddi and Imman Annachi were saved from being eliminated.
Another important issue he spoke about was Akshara Reddy's story in the luxury budget task and why she felt dejected after her speech. The model said her father and brother are her biggest heroes and that the story she said wasn't well-received by many. "I've done many shows and won several beauty pageants. I credit my success to my brother. I am a zero without my heroes. I was bombarded with questions. Priyanka asked me to reveal my goals and aspirations and as to why people should vote for me. I don't have a proper goal," she said and broke down.
Kamal Haasan consoled her and Priyanka too clarified as to what she exactly meant while saying those words. She also said that she wanted to see a fire inside Akshara. Imman Annachi also chipped in and said all the words he said to console her. Post that, Kamal Haasan asked Raju Jeyamohan as to why he was confused while placing the like/dislike emoji. "Kadhai-ya vida ivala pidikkum (More than the story, I like her) I was also expecting that she would say her story well considering that she's told me the same story. I liked the honesty in it. Her story was short and sweet so I gave a like, but Priyanka changed it to dislike."
Priyanka replied saying, "Akshara has more love on Raju. If he had conveyed my words to her, it would have been received better and it would be more motivating for her." To this Akshara stated, "I was expecting that Raju Bhai would give a dislike. When he gave like, I knew that he gave that because he liked me and it was not because of my story. I told him that since he liked me as a sister, he gave me a like and it shows his character."
