In a dramatic and unprecedented move, Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 host Vijay Sethupathi has taken the ultimate disciplinary action, evicting two contestants on the spot. The actor, in his new role as host, issued red cards to contestants VJ Paaru and Kamaruddin for their violent conduct, which involved physically ejecting fellow contestant Sandra from a vehicle during a task.
The Shocking Incident That Led to Eviction
The controversy unfolded during the high-stakes 'Ticket to Finale' task that commenced this week. As part of the challenge, nine contestants—including Sandra, Vikkals Vikram, Aurora Sinclair, Subiksha, Gana Vinoth, Sabari, VJ Paaru, and Kamaruddin—were required to remain inside a car overnight without stepping out to secure top scores.
After Vikram exited due to space constraints, a heated argument erupted between Sandra, Kamaruddin, and VJ Paaru. The verbal clash quickly spiraled out of control. The situation took a horrifying physical turn when VJ Paaru and Kamaruddin were seen opening the car door and forcibly kicking Sandra out of the moving vehicle.
Immediate Fallout and Trauma
The impact of the fall and the emotional distress reportedly caused Sandra to suffer seizures. Fellow contestants Sabari and Gana Vinoth immediately rushed to her aid, exiting the car to ensure she received medical attention. The disturbing clips of the incident, which surfaced online on January 2, 2026, triggered massive public outrage.
Viewers widely condemned the duo's actions as unethical and inhumane. In the aftermath, Sandra was seen in a state of severe trauma. Another viral clip showed her waking up at 5 am and hiding under a bed, visibly fearful of further violence from Paaru and Kamaruddin. Sandra subsequently broke down and pleaded with the show's makers to send her home, while audiences demanded she be taken for a thorough medical check-up.
Vijay Sethupathi's Firm Stand and Viral Promo
The climax arrived with the release of a powerful promo on January 3, 2026. In it, host Vijay Sethupathi is seen confronting Paaru and Kamaruddin, expressing intense anger over their behavior. He questioned their upbringing and delivered a scathing reprimand.
In a decisive moment, Sethupathi pulled out two red cards from his pocket, signaling their immediate eviction from the Bigg Boss house. He sarcastically remarked, "Your families would be proud of you for kicking a woman out of a vehicle and continuing to hurl abuses at her even as she went into convulsions."
The promo, which also featured loud applause and hoots of support from the live audience, quickly went viral on platforms like Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). Fans overwhelmingly praised Vijay Sethupathi for his firm and just stance. Many noted the poetic justice, as the eviction came via red card just as the duo were close to the finals, rather than through a public vote.
The incident has become a defining moment for Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9, which airs on Star Vijay and is racing towards its grand finale expected on January 11, 2026. The show, previously hosted by Kamal Haasan, has set a new precedent for accountability within the game, sending a clear message that physical and emotional abuse will not be tolerated, regardless of the competitive environment.
