Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8: Gautham Sasi Nominates Shijin and Asif, Week 8 Nomination Process
In the current live episode of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8, the nomination process took a dramatic turn as contestant Gautham Sasi entered the confession room to nominate two housemates for eviction. His choices—Shijin and Asif—came with pointed justifications that are already sparking discussions among fans online. Gautham concluded his nomination with a strong statement, declaring that both Shijin and Asif are not fit to continue in the Bigg Boss house.
Gautham’s first pick was Shijin, whom he nominated on multiple grounds. He claimed that Shijin creates unnecessary drama to get more screen time, misrepresents situations, and uses his personal background as a “poverty card” to manipulate others. This accusation echoes similar criticisms raised earlier in the season, particularly by Rahul Easwar during the Week 7 open nominations, suggesting that the “poverty card” narrative continues to follow Shijin inside the house and remains a point of contention among his fellow contestants.
For his second pick, Gautham initially intended to nominate Nobi, but due to a pre-existing punishment—Nobi had already been nominated for the next three weeks of eviction by host Mohanlal—he was unable to do so. Instead, Gautham nominated Asif, expressing that he feels intimidated and anxious around him. He stated that Asif’s presence makes it difficult for him to speak his mind, which is affecting his confidence in the house. It was a candid and emotional admission, revealing the psychological toll that certain dynamics inside the house are having on him.
Ultimately, Gautham concluded that both Shijin and Asif are not fit to continue in the Bigg Boss house, making his nomination one of the most direct and personal of the season so far. His reasons—ranging from accusations of manipulation and screen-time chasing to feelings of intimidation—highlight the growing tensions and fractured relationships among the contestants as the season progresses. With nominations now underway and the house already reeling from the Week 7 luxury budget penalty and Nilina’s eviction, Gautham’s choices are sure to add another layer of drama and debate to an already volatile season.
