Support to weavers

Kamal launched the fashion brand ‘House of Khaddar’ during Bigg Boss Tamil 4. The series of the clothing under this brand are designed by Amritha Ram.

Hosted Bigg Boss Tamil with injured leg

Kamal’s commitment as a host of the Bigg Boss Tamil show can never be questioned by anyone. Over the past five seasons, Kamal hasn’t missed any chance to host even a single episode. He was asked to take rest and get a surgery done for his leg during the final stages of Bigg Boss Tamil 4. Even during that time, he completed the show and only then underwent leg surgery in January 2021. (Photo - Instagram / Twitter / Screenshot)

Criticism with a twist

Kamal Haasan shares his criticism and feedback about the housemates and their performances with a twist. Unlike the Bigg Boss show hosts in other languages, Kamal isn’t very noisy and doesn’t yell at the housemates. But, he puts forth his observations about housemates in the most subtle and effective manner. (Photo - Instagram / Twitter / Screenshot)
