Actor Mahat Raghavendra has been eliminated from the reality show Bigg Boss Tamil 2, becoming the 8th contestant to exit. The actor, who has a huge fan in social media, was eliminated on Sunday’s episode. He joins other contestants such as Mamathi, Ananth, Nithya, Ramya, Shariq, Ponnambalam, and Vaishnavi who have been eliminated in the past. His elimination, however, comes as no surprise as most of the audience polls predicted the same with even last week’s eliminated contestant Vaishnavi, in a video interview, stating that he might be the next one to leave the house.

Mahat’s stint at Bigg Boss has been controversial. Known for his short temper and mind games, Mahat even had feelings for fellow contestant Yashika Anand despite having a girlfriend outside of the show. His confession towards her led to his girlfriend, Prachi Mishra, publicly breaking up with him.

“He is in love with Yashika and that’s open now, I am hurt but this will not change my life and I will take care of myself. He is mean to Mumtaz and his only well wisher Janani, he is not standing for her too! It’s a humble Request to everyone plz stop asking me anything about him, thank you for all the msgs and concern that you have shown, it’s my personal life and I will take care (sic),” she added. “I AM NOT WITH MAHAT SO PLS LEAVE MY SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MY WORK Thank you,” she wrote but has since deleted the post.
