Vanitha Vijaykumar, an actress and former Bigg Boss Tamil contestant, said on November 26 that she had been attacked by an unknown person who seemed to back actor Pradeep Antony, who was recently kicked off Season 7. According to reports, the incident happened on November 25 because Vanitha’s daughter Jovika joined a protest against Pradeep, which got him kicked off the show. This season of the show, which is led by Kamal Haasan, has Jovika as a contestant.
Vanitha included a picture of herself on Instagram showing her wound. In the caption, she says, “Posting my brutal attack with a lot of courage.” The reality show format of #biggbosstamil is completely unacceptable. Killing is never acceptable.
Vanitha gives more information about the attack: “Brutally attacked by god knows who!” A person who is said to support #PradeepAntony. After finishing my #BiggBossTamil7 review and eating dinner, I walked down to my car, which I had left at my sister Sowmya’s house. It was dark, and out of the blue, a man yelled, “Red card!” Ni helped Vera, hit me hard in the face, and ran away. A lot of pain made me scream and bleed in the face. At 1 am, there was no one else around. I called my sister to come over. She told me to go report it to the police, but I told her I didn’t trust the process. I got first aid and then left the house angry because I couldn’t figure out who had hurt me. I can still hear the crazy laugh he made. I’m taking a break from everything because I’m not good enough to go on TV. If you back people who are upset, danger is only a few feet away.
The police in Chennai immediately took her case seriously when she shared her ordeal online.
Antony was kicked out of the Bigg Boss House because he was rude and a danger to the women who lived there. Because of this, he got a red card and finally left the house. Vanitha had publicly supported getting him kicked out, which may have led to the attack on her.
