Speaking about her experience after leaving the show, Sreelakshmi said she was still trying to distinguish between life inside the Bigg Boss house and the world outside.
“After I came out of Bigg Boss, I was in a state of shock and couldn’t understand what was happening in my life. I am still unable to distinguish between the world inside the house and the world outside. The sudden mass eviction left me shocked,” she said.
She also clarified that her silence on social media should not be interpreted as anger or resentment towards anyone.
According to Sreelakshmi, she received numerous messages and texts following her eviction but had not been able to respond to everyone. She said she needed time to process the experience and gradually return to her usual routine.
Former contestant opens up about daily struggles
Sreelakshmi also described the difficulties she faced after returning from Chennai, saying that even ordinary daily activities had become challenging.
She revealed that she had struggled to leave her room, take a bath and eat properly. Her friends helped her with meals during this period, she said.
The former contestant indicated that she was still trying to make sense of the sudden change in her circumstances and needed time before resuming her usual social interactions.
She reassured those who had reached out to her that she would respond and meet them when she felt ready.
Her message offered a glimpse into the adjustment that can follow an intense reality-show experience, particularly after an unexpected eviction. Sreelakshmi’s account reflected her personal experience, and she asked for patience as she worked towards feeling better.
Bigg Boss Malayalam 8: Could Sreelakshmi return to the house?
Sreelakshmi’s statement has emerged as viewers discuss the possibility of a former contestant returning to Bigg Boss Malayalam 8.
During the Mittayi Pattanam task, the contestants reportedly discussed which evicted housemate should receive another opportunity to return to the competition. Sreelakshmi’s name came up during the discussion, with a remark referring to the kitchen duties she had performed inside the house.
However, the task’s reported outcome pointed to Rakesh being selected to return, according to the information provided about the episode.
The discussion also reportedly upset Anjali and Mridula, who had watched the proceedings from the secret room. They questioned when they would receive another opportunity to re-enter the house.
While the conversation has fuelled speculation about a possible return, Sreelakshmi’s name being mentioned during the task does not confirm that she will re-enter the competition. Any comeback would need to be established through an official episode or announcement from the show’s makers.
