Former contestants who stepped into the show for an image changeover


Bigg Boss Ultimate has given a second chance to the contestants, as rightly said by host Kamal Haasan in the grand finale, ‘Only in the place where it was lost, can it be found, only in the place where we lost, can the victory be found’. A few of the housemates entered the Bigg Boss house again to set things right.

Here’s the list of contestants who are changing the negative images they earned from the previous seasons.

2/6

​Maria Juliana


With the popularity she gained for raising slogans during the Jallikattu protest, Juliana entered the Bigg Boss house in the first season of Bigg Boss Tamil. But she soon lost all the people’s support for joining hands with Gayatri Raguram and Harathi and cornering Oviya.

In this season, Julie remains alone and silent the whole time, and the housemates find her silence often disturbing.

3/6

​Balaji Murugadoss


Balaji Murugadoss’s anger knows no boundaries. In Bigg Boss Tamil 4, Balaji Murugadoss was often seen getting onto his nerves and passing hurtful comments to the housemates. Also, the rumours with Shivani Narayanan defamed his image.

This season, Balaji made it clear to the housemates during the press conference task that he doesn't want to be involved in any such issues. Even his anger this time, seems to have pulled the right chords with the audience. especially when he stood for Julie recently.

4/6

​Thadi Balaji


On the stage of the grand launch, he said that last time his worst side got exposed, and this time people would see his entertaining side, while entering the house. Though his comments about his ex-wife elicited harsh reactions, he generally avoids controversies.

Thadi Balaji was often seen making the moments light after a tiff, cracking rib ticklers. Also, he often receives appreciation from the housemates for helping them with the household chores.

5/6

​Abhinay Vaddi


In the latest episode, Balaji Murugadoss says that Abhinay Vaddi is the underrated player of the season. Abhinay Vaddi was eliminated from Bigg Boss Tamil 5 for being non-competitive and getting involved in Pavani’s issue. In this season, during the press conference task, he said that he entered the house to undo the image that he had in the previous season. He received appreciation from many of the housemates for playing with a high spirit. The video of Abhinay stealing the spectacles of Balaji, who was a policeman, has been doing the rounds on the internet.

6/6

​Suja Varunee


During the grand launch, Suja Varunee said the last time she entered as a young woman, but this time as a mother. This week, she was elected as the best housemate of the week. Housemates are often seen mentioning that she helps everyone in the house with their chores. Most importantly, her housemates appreciate her for keeping the house immaculately clean.
