Bigg Boss Tamil 3, the reality show hosted by Kamal Haasan, has been in the news ever since it started airing on 23 June. The latest episode has sparked outrage on social media over Tamil actor Saravanan, who acted as the lead in over 25 films in the 90s, casually admitting having groped people in buses when he was young.
In the video clip, show host Kamal Haasan is seen talking about how no one wants to travel in crowded buses by choice as passengers end up being pushed and shoved. In this context Haasan mentioned how there are some who get on buses specifically to grope people.
Responding to this, show participant Saravanan raised his hand saying, “when I was in college I’ve done it too.” His response was met with loud applause by the studio audience.
However, social media was quick to catch the comment and the cheering that it elicited. This incident has elicited strong reaction, here’s how Netizens reacted:
