Vijay Sethupathi and BB show Director open clash

First time in BiggBoss history, host and show director have an open clash in front of the contestants and shooting crew. On the sets of EVP film city in Chennai, Vijay Sethupathi (VJS) host of BB8 Tamil started the show by asking contestants about their experiences of meeting their parents. One of the contestants Jacqueline, a Star Vijay product said that she was disappointed that co- contestant Jeffry was not questioned. Jeffry a Gaana singer from Chennai stood up and picked up a quarrel with her. Jeffry started to use the Chennai slang and all the while VJS was a spectator. Then Bigg Boss voice came on air and said that as he was using coarse language in presence of VJS, he was summarily evicted.

At this point, VJS cut in and said that if BB wanted to send Jeffry out, they were free to do. “ Please do not use my name to send him out as I am not game for it “ he told BB. Jeffry readily agreed to quit the show and went on stage with VJS. VJS said that breaking from convention it became compulsory to send out a contestant on a Saturday and named Jeffry. Jeffry in the footage shown to viewers was seen laughing and joking. While he was talking to contestants on stage with VJS, he found that the host was standing a few feet away. He called VJS and latter put a hand on his shoulder. Jeffry told VJS that he was feeling afraid. Probably of the fact that his clash was with Star Vijay channel guys. One of the major spinoffs from BB show was that contestants get to appear on the Star Vijay shows.  VJS then kept repeatedly telling Jeffry that he will meet him outside the house. In short VJS has offered help to Jeffry to get offers or include him in his films.

VJS argument was that Jeffry was a brat and used coarse language and was aggressive in physical tasks. He was a favorite of a few women in the show and BB looked the other way. VJS said that he had in many subtle ways told Jeffry to be cautious but BB on the other hand did not take any action or punish him. Now that BB wants to send Jeffry out, they were bringing his name in , was VJS argument.

Jeffry gaana singer is most fav of all women inside the house. A contestant Anshitha says that she would keep him in her house as he is her `brother’.
