Bigg Boss Tamil Season 6 airs on Vijay Television.Bigg Boss Tamil Season 6 finally came to an end today with the grand finale. While Azeem was crowned Bigg Boss Tamil 6 winner, Vikraman emerged as first runner-up. Kamal Haasan has successfully hosted Bigg Boss Tamil for the sixth time, and he is one of the main reasons for it being the most-watched Tamil reality show. This season saw 21 contestants and three of them ended up making it to the finals. Azeem, Vikraman, Shivin were the last ones standing.
Kamal at the start of the season took pride in saying that the show featured a diverse set of contestants, and there is some truth to it. The inclusion of Shivin, a transgender person, who has also made it to the finale, has received huge applause from the audience.
Another notable factor about Bigg Boss Tamil Season 6 is that it didn’t feature a big film celebrity, which made the playing ground even. Nevertheless, there still were some favourites like Rachita, Amudhavanan, and GP Muthu in the initial days of the season, but once things started to unravel, the loyalty of the audience kept changing and some of the favourites and the most popular found themselves evicted. However, Azeem and Vikraman were considered to be the obvious finalists from the first week and the prediction turned out to be true.
Though Azeem, the TV actor, faced a lot of criticism from the audience and Kamal Haasan, he had supporters as well. His anger issue and the frequent meltdown did make the viewers a bit uncomfortable. He got the most number of nominations (15 times) for eviction this season. But he ended up as the winner. Following him was Vikraman who was nominated 11 times. Vikraman, an activist, who came across as level-headed and righteous, also faced criticism for his biases, but he made his way to the last episode of the show.
Vikraman says that he accepts the public's verdict after emerging as Bigg Boss Tamil 6 first runner-up.
Thank God, thanks to my parents who taught me only good things," Azeem said after winning Bigg Boss Tamil 6.
Azeem is the winner of Bigg Boss Tamil season 6. He takes a winner's trophy, a brand new Brezza car and a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh.
Shivin is out of the race. Azeem and Vikraman are the top two finalists.
Finally, Azeem, Vikraman and Shivin are brought out of the house and there are on stage with Kamal Haasan. Before getting to the elimination, Kamal plays the guessing game by asking the audience to guess the winner.
Evicted contestant and singer Asal Kolaar performs a song. The performance is followed by Kamal Haasan reciting a poem that he wrote many years ago. He says a terror attack in London inspired him to write this poem. "Violence can never be the way to get what you want. And there is no better country than India to propagate the message to the rest of the world. India is the world's capital of peace," he says.
Now, the camera is trolling the evicted contestants. The material isn't funny enough. It is a test of patience.
Kamal Haasan invites writers S. Ramakrishnan and Magudeswaran to the show. He uses the platform to recommend his favourite books to the audience. "Did my recommendations have any effect?" Kamal asks Ramakrishnan. "Definitely," Ramakrishnan tells. "No popular show has such a segment." And Ramakrishnan talks about Kamal's love and service for literature. "Kamal sir's recommendations have made my books popular across Tamil Nadu," says Magudeswaran. All of them emphasise the importance of cultivating a habit of reading.
3 hours into the show, the show is yet to get to its first elimination of the evening. Kamal Haasan is now killing time by handing out medals to all the contestants.
Kamal Haasan is now given more airtime to propagate his political beliefs. "For me, it's Tamil Nadu, not Tamilagam," Kamal tells wading into the recent political controversy courted by TN governor RN Ravi. He also makes his comment against fascism and stresses the importance of protecting a country's plurality. He also opens up about his friendship with Rajinikanth. "I don't pray to god but he does. We express our disagreements to each other but move on with our lives. Ilaiyaraaja is like a brother but, we both belong to different political parties. And these differences have nothing to do with our mutual affection and friendship. We might argue and even fight over our beliefs, but in the end we will always choose friendship," Kamal says.
As if making three finalists — Azeem, Vikraman and Shivin — talking to the trophy wasn't enough, the showrunners now have them speak before the mirror. This segment is called "Note to Self." The contestants are forced to extract the last ounce of their love for this show. The final episode is clearly running on an empty tank.
The studio audience is allowed an opportunity to interact with Kamal Haasan. "What are the criteria you consider before voting for a contestant?" asks Kamal. And all most everyone gives the same answer: 'We vote based on one's ability to entertain us'. Kamal takes the opportunity to share some anecdotes from his personal experiences.
The showrunners are using every trick in the book to stretch the entertainment. In a first, the three finalists have been asked to spend some alone time with the winner's trophy and share their feelings with the inanimate object. And the contestants are pouring their hearts out.
Kamal Haasan enters the house to meet the three finalists and he comes bearing gifts. He presents his signed letters to each contestant. He has personalized the message to each one of them. Kamal seems to be reviving the dying art of writing letters. Earlier, he extended the same gesture towards Kananda filmmaker Rishab Shetty after watching Kantara.
Bigg Boss has a special surprise for the finalists. A private orchestra has been organised for Azeem, Vikraman and Shivin. The orchestra is playing several classical hits of Tamil cinema and is also accepting song requests from housemates.
Top three finalists Azeem, Vikraman and Shivin are nervous and excited at the same time. While they seem sad about the season coming to end, they are also equally trilled to get out of the house. They have mixed feelings.
Kamal Haasan engages in a fun banter with the evicted contestants. He takes stock of each contestant's well-being and how their lives have changed after debuting on the show. Going by their stories, the lives of all the evicted contestants seem to have changed for the better.
Kamal Haasan reminds the contestants how lucky they were to have landed the opportunity to be on this show. "If I had such a platform during my early years, I would have peaked in my career much, much before," Kamal says.
The evicted contestants of this season make the entrance as a couple of DJs rock their mixers. All of them come together on stage for the final song Yaakkai Thiri from Aaytha Ezhuthu. They make way for drummers, who build up the crescendo for Kamal Haasan's entry.
The final episode of Bigg Boss Tamil season 6 begins with a short recap of key moments that defined this season. As usual, a lot of tears were shed, new friendships were forged, hearts were broken and new celebrities were created. The winner of this season will be picked among the top three finalists — Azeem, Vikraman and Shivin.
A fan shared a photo of BiggBoss Tamil 6 finalists Vikraman and Azeem and wrote, "One of the cutest things in #BiggBossTamil6 is #Vikraman & #Azeem sleeping in the same bed for 106 days. Never changing through every argument or fight. No matter whose fan u r, this is how it should end. ??Peace. #BiggBossTamil."
