Bigg Boss Malayalam 8: Rakesh’s Insta story fuels comeback talk
Rahul Easwar's Mittayi Pattanam win hands Rakesh a possible Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 comeback. His Instagram story is now part of the twist.
A cryptic post arrives at the right moment
For Bigg Boss Malayalam fans, timing is everything. Rakesh, who was among six contestants evicted in the season’s mass eviction, posted an Instagram story after the latest episode went off air. The photo carried a simple line: “If God has destined it, it will happen.”
What made the post hard to ignore was the episode it followed. Rahul Easwar had just used his task-winning power to choose Rakesh for a possible return, so the Instagram update quickly became part of the show’s lore. It is not a formal confirmation, but it arrived exactly when viewers were hoping for a sign.
How the task winner earned the choice
The weekly task, Mittayi Pattanam, had contestants collecting chocolates with a value attached. Rahul collected the highest total value and won. Bigg Boss then offered him two options: exemption from nominations for the next two weeks, or the chance to bring one evicted contestant back into the house.
Rahul eventually picked Rakesh over the other five evicted contestants. That choice disappointed Anjali and Mridula. Mridula questioned Noby over his earlier statement that she would be evicted within two weeks even if she got a comeback, and the conversation left Noby in tears.
The house gets more divided
While that argument unfolded, Azif and Wikki, who collected the lowest number of chocolates, were directly nominated for the following week. The secret room also came into play: Anjali and Mridula, who had been sent there after the mass eviction, were given ten chocolates each and told to distribute them among housemates of their choice. Shijin, Kadal Komban, Wikki and Goutham received chocolates from them.
When Anjali and Mridula returned to the house at the end of the task, the mood shifted. Some contestants celebrated the moment; others seemed clueless. That split could matter a lot if Rakesh’s re-entry becomes official, because the house is already balancing secret-room returnees, direct nominations and visible rifts.
Why Rakesh’s return would be a public win
Rakesh is not just any evicted contestant. He entered Bigg Boss Malayalam after clearing AgniPareeksha, the pre-show route through which members of the public compete in multiple rounds to get inside the house. That makes his journey feel like a viewers’ pick, and a second chance would land as a storyline for fans who backed him from the start.
With gameplay intensifying and social media feeds adding their own clues, the wait for the next episode is now a discussion of its own.
- Rahul’s reward: He could have taken two weeks of nomination exemption, but chose a contestant return.
- The choice: Rakesh was selected over five other evicted contestants.
- Immediate fallout: Anjali and Mridula disappointed; Noby in tears after Mridula’s question.
- Next-week stakes: Azif and Wikki directly nominated; secret-room returnees have shifted dynamics.
