Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 has delivered another unexpected twist with actor Gayathri Suresh returning to the house after being evicted just two days into the Mohanlal-hosted reality show.
Her return came after house leader Eldho George asked Bigg Boss to reconsider the earlier eviction decision. However, the reversal came with a condition: Eldho had to surrender his leadership position and hand it over to opposition leader Rahul Easwar.
The decision dramatically changed the house dynamics and brought Gayathri back into the competition.
Why Was Gayathri Suresh Evicted on Day 2?
Gayathri Suresh, who was the first contestant to enter the Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 house, faced an unusually early exit.
During a task presented to the housemates, they were given a choice between accepting kanji and payar as their food for the next 100 days or sacrificing one contestant through eviction.
The first-week house leader, Jaseela Parveen, selected Gayathri’s name.
The decision subsequently drew criticism from some of the housemates and host Mohanlal, according to the supplied report. Gayathri therefore left the show almost immediately after its launch.
Eldho George Asks Bigg Boss to Reverse the Decision
The situation changed during the second week when Eldho George became the house leader.
Bigg Boss asked Eldho whether he wanted to revisit any decisions taken by the previous leadership. He then chose to challenge Gayathri’s eviction and requested that she be brought back into the competition.
His intervention led to a fresh condition from Bigg Boss.
Eldho Gives Up Leadership to Bring Gayathri Back
Bigg Boss informed Eldho that Gayathri’s return could happen only if he was prepared to give up his position as house leader.
The leadership would instead pass to Rahul Easwar, who was serving as the opposition leader.
Eldho accepted the condition and surrendered the leadership without hesitation. Rahul subsequently became the new house leader, while Eldho moved into the opposition.
The leadership transfer turned Gayathri’s comeback into an even bigger development because Eldho effectively traded his position to reopen the eviction decision.
Rahul Easwar Praises Eldho’s Decision
Following the leadership change, Rahul Easwar praised Eldho for his decision.
According to the report, Rahul described the situation as an unusual development and suggested that a similar sequence of events would be difficult to find across Bigg Boss editions in different languages and countries.
Rahul also characterised Gayathri’s earlier eviction as a major mistake by the previous leadership and housemates.
Gayathri Suresh Re-Enters the Bigg Boss House
After the new arrangement was accepted, Gayathri Suresh officially re-entered the Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 house.
Her return is likely to add another layer to the existing house dynamics, particularly because her first eviction was itself the result of a decision taken by the initial leadership.
Gayathri’s return also means that an eviction that appeared final after the second day has now been reversed within the same season.
Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 Evictions So Far
Gayathri’s early eviction was not the only sudden departure during the opening days of the season.
According to the supplied report, fight master Dhanya Kaali was evicted on Day 6, while journalist-turned-actor Rini Ann George left on Day 7 following public voting.
The rapid sequence of early exits has made the opening phase of Season 8 particularly eventful.
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 Launch
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 premiered on September 6, with Mohanlal returning as the host.
Gayathri Suresh’s return is now one of the season’s most notable developments, especially considering that she became the first contestant to leave the house and then returned after Eldho George’s leadership sacrifice.
The latest twist also changes the balance of power inside the house, with Rahul Easwar taking over as leader and Eldho moving into the opposition.
The Bottom Line
Gayathri Suresh’s return has transformed what initially appeared to be a very early exit into one of the season’s biggest twists. Eldho George’s decision to surrender leadership made the comeback possible, while Rahul Easwar’s appointment as the new house leader has added another significant change to the Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 power structure.
