Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9: Historic Double Red Card Eviction – Vijay Sethupathi Boots VJ Parvathy and Kamrudin for Violent Behaviour

In a groundbreaking and dramatic turn of events on Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9, host Vijay Sethupathi made history by issuing two red cards to contestants VJ Parvathy (also known as Parvathy or VJ Paaru) and Kamrudin (Kamarudin) during the weekend episode aired on January 3, 2026. This marks the first time in the show’s Tamil version history that a host has handed out dual red cards, leading to their immediate eviction from the house.

The incident stemmed from a heated “Ticket to Finale” car task on January 2, 2026, where the remaining contestants were required to squeeze into a stationary car and endure as long as possible for a direct spot in the finale. Tensions escalated when Parvathy and Kamrudin targeted fellow contestant Sandra (Sandra Amy Prajin), mocking her with names like “Scam-dra” and engaging in verbal abuse. The situation turned physical as Parvathy allegedly pushed and kicked Sandra out of the car, with Kamrudin assisting. Sandra fell hard, suffered a panic attack (initially reported by some as seizures or fits), and required immediate medical attention. She was left in tears, begging to be sent home, while the house erupted in chaos.

During the Saturday episode, Vijay Sethupathi reviewed the footage with the audience and contestants. Visibly angry and disappointed, he confronted the duo, refusing to accept their justifications where they blamed Sandra for provoking them. He questioned whether their families would be proud of their disrespectful, violent conduct and highlighted how their actions damaged the dignity of the show. Despite opportunities to explain without deflection, Parvathy and Kamrudin doubled down, prompting Sethupathi to pull out two red cards from his pocket.

The live studio audience erupted in cheers and applause as the red cards were shown, reflecting widespread viewer frustration with the pair’s repeated toxic behaviour throughout the season. Parvathy later apologized to a tearful Sandra, while Kamrudin reportedly fell at her feet. Housemates advised Kamrudin to distance himself from Parvathy, who had previously accused him of issues like bad touch and domestic violence behind his back.

What does a red card mean in Bigg Boss Tamil? As per reports and the show’s rules in this context, a red card signifies immediate and permanent eviction — no re-entry, no participation in the finale, forfeiture of any potential payment or prize money, and a complete exit from the house without standard eviction perks.

Social media exploded with reactions, with many praising Vijay Sethupathi for his decisive action against unchecked violence, while others criticized the show for allowing such behaviour to escalate for TRP gains. Hashtags like #RedCardVJPaaru trended, and fans called it a long-overdue step toward maintaining safety and decorum.

This double eviction comes just weeks before the grand finale (expected around January 11, 2026), reshaping the competition in Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9, which premiered on October 5, 2025, on Star Vijay and JioHotstar, with Vijay Sethupathi returning as host for his second consecutive season.

The episode served as a stark reminder of the boundaries in reality TV, leaving audiences divided between shock at the violence and relief at the swift justice. Stay tuned for more updates as the road to the finale intensifies!
