Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 is all set to witness a new dramatic turn as the show’s wild card contestant Tashi Raj is grabbing the attention of the viewers after he expressed his feelings for his co-contestant Neha Fathima. Meanwhile, the reality show has thrown up a major eviction curveball, with nearly the whole house being voted on.
Tashi Raj admits that Neha has caught his eye
Tashi Raj, who entered the house as a wildcard contestant, recently had a candid chat with Mridula Vijai about his budding feelings for Neha Fathima.
Tashi admitted it was all a distraction and he was unable to focus and that was why he had decided not to get involved with anyone in the house in the first place while talking. He also said that he is trying to keep a little distance from Neha on purpose to know what he feels.
“I have respect for Neha and I don’t want to cross the limit,” Tashi said. His comments have now made the viewers think that can a new relationship track develop inside Bigg Boss house.
Mridula questions Tashi’s anxiety
Mridula listened to Tashi’s concerns, trying to gage whether his reluctance was because of his behavior in the house or whether there would be any fallout.
Tashi said he hadn’t really thought about it until Mridula had brought it up during their conversation. This interaction gave the viewers a glimpse into his struggle as he tries to balance his emotions with the demands of the Bigg Boss game.
Tension mounts as mass eviction begins
While Tashi’s confession has become a talking point, the bigger development in the house is the reported mass eviction twist.
The final run of episodes and trailers have seen many housemates at risk of eviction. This has stirred a lot of uncertainty among the housemates. As per the previous reports, a few contestants might be leaving the show in the episode of this weekend.
The eviction process has changed the dynamics inside the house a lot and this has now become one of the biggest twists of the season. During the mass eviction, more than one housemate was evicted, and some housemates moved to the Secret Room.
Tashi and Neha end up together.
Viewers are keen to see how Tashi’s relationship with Neha will unfold, especially after he confesses his feelings in public. But wait, will it blossom into a real connection or will it just be a brief fling in the cut-throat Bigg Boss environment, is a matter of fact to be seen in the coming episodes.
Meanwhile, the mass eviction has dramatically raised the stakes for everyone remaining in the house, setting the stage for new alliances, conflicts and gameplay in the coming episodes.
Mohanlal is the host of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 on Asianet, and its episodes can be watched on JioHotstar.
