Author: Janani K On January 22, it was around 10:00 p.m. Vikraman and Azeem, two of the finalists, were held in Kamal Haasan’s hands. To declare the winner to the world, he was going to raise their hand. Kamal Haasan teased them for a short while as Vikraman and Azeem inhaled deeply. He then raised Azeem’s hand and declared him the victor of Season 6 of Bigg Boss Tamil. Azeem shouted with delight and took a few seconds to appreciate what he had accomplished.
Azeem and his supporters may be able to celebrate when he defeats Vikraman and Shivin. The worse has occurred for our civilization, though. Furthermore, this creates a negative precedent for reality television, which is once again just a reflection of society. Bigg Boss, according to Kamal Haasan, has been holding up a mirror to society for all 15 weeks of the programme. And the 21 contestants on the show are a mere representation of the society we are living in.
Bigg Boss Tamil’s weekend episodes are hosted by Kamal Haasan, a champion of a modern society. But for him, the reality programme, and society as a whole, to see him next to someone with Azeem’s toxic disposition and history of transgressions is a new low. Most weekends, Azeem was the topic of conversation due to his despicable behaviour. His strategy was to propagate negativity and undermine people’s self-respect. Even though he said that it wasn’t his strategy, what would you call a person who repeatedly commits the same mistakes?
With this, the show’s moral message is compromised. According to Kamal Haasan and Krishnan Kutty, the business head of Vijay Television, 30 million people watched the programme. Isn’t this a horrible example for the people that watch the show, especially the young minds?
