Pavni Reddy, who entered the house as the eighth contestant of Bigg Boss Tamil 5 house, spoke about how she lost her husband in a vlog that she recorded before coming into Bigg Boss Tamil 5. Pavni lost her husband to suicide merely four years after their marriage. Her husband Pradeep was also a popular serial actor. Pavni said that she was devastated after her husband's death and added that her husband's family fully supported her in the time of crisis.
Although Pavni mentioned about her husband a few times in the first week of the show, the 17 contestants only got to know the full story when she narrated the ordeal that she went through on friday's episode (October 8). The actress spoke about her relationship with Pradeep, her late husband and elaborated about the marriage that she had with him.
Narrating her ordeal, Pavni also said she was framed for her husband's death and that she was struggling to cope with the grief. The actress also mentioned that she was in a relationship a few years after the incident and her family arranged for a marriage with the person. "Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Enaku kadaisi varaikum thaniya dhan irukanum nu ezhuthi vechuchuruku pola (I think I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life)," she said. Following the episode, many on social media speculated that she remarried post her husband's death and then got separated.
Producer Anand Joy, who was earlier in a relationship with Pavni, has now shared a post asking fans to support her in her journey through Bigg Boss Tamil season 5. Although the couple are not together now, Anand said that she's not just his best friend, but more than that. He shared a picture of Pavni and wrote, "Queen by her own... I have no letter to type.. Please support her. She has been through a lot in her life. She is not only my best friend. More than that. Durga aka (Pavani Reddy) forevermore. Worlds most beautiful person."
