In one of the teasers for Bigg Boss Tamil Season 4, Haasan said, “The disease is dangerous. Of course, we have to be safe. But we can’t continue to remain in the house. We will follow the safety guidelines of WHO. Let’s get back to work.” It is worth noting that the reality show would have aired in July itself had it not been for the coronavirus pandemic.

A few reports suggested that actor Lakshmi Menon will be participating this year in Bigg Boss. However, Menon took to her Instagram account to deny the reports.

Sharing a story on her Instagram handle, Menon stated, "I am not participating in Bigg Boss show. I am not going to be washing plates and cleaning toilets of others for now and never and also fighting on camera in the name of a show. I hope hereafter nobody comes up with speculations of me going to some sh*t show."

Her response to the reports led to trolling, which prompted the actor to write another note. It read, "So, many people sent me negative messages after seeing my story. I just want to clarify that you are nobody to question me. It is my right to have an opinion and a choice. Some people might like the show, some might not. I, for that matter, do not like the show due to various reasons. I wash my own plates and clean my toilet at my house. It’s just that I don’t want to do that in front of a camera."
