Bigg Boss Malayalam 8: Mridhula Vijai’s Husband Alleges a Hate Campaign, and Names Shijin’s Name

The drama around Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 has spilled well beyond the house. Mridhula Vijai’s husband, Yuva Krishna, has alleged that a coordinated online campaign is targeting his wife, and that it is building support for fellow contestant Shijin. Here’s what was actually said, and what remains unproven.

What Yuva Krishna Said?

According to a Times of India interview reported by Pinkvilla, Yuva made a careful point: the family doesn’t know whether this is happening with Shijin’s knowledge, or whether someone else is acting on his behalf. His complaint is about a pattern. Whenever content about any contestant is posted, he says, the comment sections fill with messages mentioning Shijin alongside hateful remarks. When it keeps happening consistently, he says, it becomes evident.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 8: The Allegations

Claim	Details
Who is alleging	Yuva Krishna, husband of Mridhula Vijai
Target of the alleged campaign	Mridhula Vijai (and, he says, other contestants)
Alleged beneficiary	Shijin
Fake profile estimate	About 95% locked or empty, per Yuva
Genuine comments	Perhaps 30%, he suggests
Confirmed link to Shijin	None stated

The “Fake Profile” Argument

Yuva claims that around 95 percent of these profiles are either locked or have zero posts, with roughly 250 to 500 followers each. They don’t look like genuinely active accounts, he says. He’s careful to add that he isn’t denying Shijin has genuine supporters. His estimate is that even if 30 percent of the comments are real, the rest appear to come from fake profiles. These are his personal observations, not independently verified findings.

How PR Teams Play the Game?

Asked when such campaigns usually start, Yuva said some PR teams follow a set strategy from day one of the show. He described his own publicity work for Mridhula as modest: making sure the content she shared inside the house reached her audience without missing important moments. Other teams, he alleged, take a different route by targeting fellow contestants and spreading negativity about them from the start, even when those contestants haven’t shared any content themselves. Social media fan wars are nothing new in reality TV, and this is exactly the kind of claim that fuels them.

Why This Matters for Viewers?

Bigg Boss thrives on audience votes and buzz, so online sentiment can shape how contestants are perceived. That’s why allegations about manufactured support get attention. Still, there is no proof presented here that Shijin or his team is behind any campaign, and Yuva himself says he can’t tell. Until there’s verification, treat it as one side’s claim.
