Ramya Krishnan to host Bigg Boss Tamil 5 as Kamal Haasan recovers from Covid-19

Kamal Haasan, who has been the front of Bigg Boss Tamil since its foundation in 2017, recently tested for Covid-19. He is recovering at a private hospital in Chennai. This has forced the showrunners to look for a temporary alternative host. Picking Ramya Krishnan as Kamal’s replacement on the show seems like a no-brainer given her past association with Bigg Boss. She had hosted the weekend episodes of Bigg Boss Telugu season 3 when the leading host Nagarjuna had traveled abroad.

Kamal had hosted last weekend’s episodes, during which contestant Isaivani was evicted. He had contracted the infection when he traveled to the US to launch his apparel brand. The launch event of House of Khaddar took place in Chicago in the presence of many VIPs. After returning to India, Kamal developed some symptoms. And when he got tested, he was confirmed to have Covid-19.

On Monday, the veteran actor took to Twitter to share the news. He advised everyone to “stay safe,” pointing out that the “pandemic is not over yet.”

Earlier this week, Kamal Haasan’s oldest daughter Shruti Haasan swore to the star’s fans and well-wishers that he was recovering well. The 67-year-old superstar has been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Kamal Haasan has multiple projects in his hands. The production of his upcoming film Vikram is currently underway. Besides playing the lead role, Kamal is also bankrolling the project. Written and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film also stars Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi.
