In a shocking incident, Vanitha Vijay, daughter of South Indian star actor Vijay Kumar and a former contestant on Tamil Bigg Boss Season 7, was reportedly attacked on Saturday night. Vanitha, who has been actively giving reviews and insights on Bigg Boss even after her elimination, encountered the assailant while leaving a studio after dinner.

According to her account on social media, an unknown man confronted Vanitha and physically attacked her, resulting in injuries to her face. She claims that the attacker, who she alleges is a sympathizer of evicted contestant Pradeep Antony, assaulted her while questioning her stance on giving a red card to Pradeep.

Pradeep Antony was recently evicted from the Bigg Boss house with a red card issued by host Kamal Haasan. The decision has sparked discussions and debates on social media, with Pradeep's fans expressing discontent and demanding his return to the show through a wild card entry. Vanitha's opposition to Pradeep's re-entry has apparently led to hostility from some quarters, resulting in the reported assault.

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of reality show contestants and the potential consequences of their actions within the highly competitive and emotionally charged environment of the Bigg Boss house.
