Hosted Bigg Boss Tamil with injured leg

Kamal’s commitment as a host of the Bigg Boss Tamil show can never be questioned by anyone. Over the past five seasons, Kamal hasn’t missed any chance to host even a single episode.

Even during that time, he completed the show and only then underwent leg surgery in January 2021. (Photo - Instagram / Twitter / Screenshot)
