The wait is over — Bigg Boss Malayalam 8’s pre-show battle, Agnipareeksha, has kicked off, and it’s already brutal. Forty commoners walked in chasing a house spot, but only a handful walked out with an edge. Here’s who’s leading the pack.
How Agnipareeksha Works?
The opening test, Manichithrathazhu, asked all 40 hopefuls to match the correct key to its lock. Only 20 survived, then judges Akhil Marar, Ranjini Haridas and Riyas Salim split them into teams for tougher rounds.
The Infinity Pendant Winners
| Winner | Task | Skill Tested |
|---|---|---|
| Pranav | Cup pyramid stacking | Speed & precision |
| Parvathy | Kulam-Kara | Concentration & focus |
| Shijin | Ball-in-glass toss | Accuracy under pressure |
Pranav struck first, out-stacking rivals in a timed cup-pyramid challenge. Parvathy, a makeup artist from Attingal, then claimed hers by out-focusing the competition in Kulam-Kara. Shijin rounded out the trio with a clutch ball-toss finish.
What the Pendant Actually Means
Each Infinity Pendant hands its holder a mystery advantage — the show hasn’t revealed the full power yet, but in past Bigg Boss seasons such perks have swung eliminations and alliances early on. Worth watching closely as Bigg Boss Malayalam has a history of game-changing twists tied to host Mohanlal’s format.
Meanwhile, eight contestants already landed in the danger zone — a rough start before the season proper even begins.
