Bigg Boss Tamil 9 Contestants
As is tradition, the official list of contestants will be unveiled during the premiere night. However, several popular names are rumoured to be entering the house this year. These include:
Kani Thiru, known for her stint on Cooku with Comali
Diwakar, social media influencer and digital content creator
Aurora Sinclair, model and lifestyle creator
Praveen Gandhi, actor-director
Kongu Manjunadhan, popular debate speaker

Vikkals Vikram, stand-up comedian
While these names have sparked curiosity among fans, an official confirmation from the show’s makers is still awaited.
Recap: Bigg Boss Tamil 8
The previous season of Bigg Boss Tamil aired from October 6, 2024, to January 19, 2025, marking Vijay Sethupathi’s debut as the show’s host after Kamal Haasan stepped down due to film commitments. Haasan had hosted the first seven seasons, setting the bar high for Tamil reality TV.
Season 8 featured a “Boys vs Girls” theme and saw Muthukumaran Jegatheesan lift the winner’s trophy, with Soundariya Nanjundan as the runner-up. Other finalists included Vishal, Pavithra, and Rayan.
A standout contestant from the previous season was Jacquline Lydia, who made Bigg Boss history by becoming the most-nominated contestant in the franchise. Despite being nominated for eviction every single week over her 15-week stay, she managed to survive due to massive audience support.
What to Expect
With Vijay Sethupathi’s charisma, a galactic new house, and a fresh lineup of contestants, Bigg Boss Tamil 9 is expected to deliver high-voltage entertainment once again — blending emotion, strategy, humour, and chaos in equal measure.
The countdown begins as Tamil television’s biggest reality show prepares for liftoff this October.
