In the volatile house of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8, Kadal Komban has heavily weaponised the “Nowfina matter” to corner, question, and isolate Shijin S. Following the massive blowout regarding Shijin’s alleged “people nobody wants” remark, Komban positioned himself as a strict enforcer of justice inside the house, using the controversy to launch a targeted attack on Shijin’s character. When the house exploded over Nowfina’s tears, Komban directly confronted Shijin, demanding to know how he could preach ethics and
lecture others about respect while simultaneously making derogatory, humiliating remarks behind people’s backs. He repeatedly questioned Shijin’s character, aggressively calling him out for acting like a “righteous player” while treating co-contestants as disposable gaming pieces. When Shijin tried to defend himself by claiming he “could not remember” making the statement or that his communication style was just poorly understood, Komban flatly rejected the excuse, mocking his defensive stance in front of the other housemates and arguing that Shijin deliberately hides behind a mask of forgetfulness or introversion whenever he gets caught red-handed making toxic or hurtful comments.
Before host Mohanlal officially intervened and played the video clips to expose the reality of the conversation, Komban used the ambiguity of the situation to fuel a massive anti-Shijin wave. Along with Muhammed Asif, Kadal Komban repeatedly brought up the “nobody wants” line during unrelated daily arguments. Every time Shijin tried to raise concerns about house duties or discipline, Komban would shut him down by saying a person who insults women or commoner contestants has no moral authority to dictate rules in the house. The friction between Kadal Komban and Shijin S has triggered some of the most chaotic verbal and near-physical altercations in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8, and while both contestants frequently clash over daily routines, the tension between them stems from tactical defense, rule enforcement, and a severe incident involving house leader Aishwarya Madhu.
The biggest catalyst for their heavy friction occurred when an incident involving current house leader Aishwarya took place. Kadal Komban approached Shijin and claimed that Aishwarya had deliberately spat at or toward him during a heated exchange. Using the information provided by Komban, Shijin aggressively confronted Aishwarya on his behalf. However, the confrontation spiralled completely out of control when Tashi Raj stepped in to defend Aishwarya, leading to a chaotic, high-intensity three-way screaming match and near-physical altercation between Shijin, Komban, and Tashi that required other housemates to physically restrain them.
Beyond the high-stakes strategy, the two have repeatedly sparred over core house rules and discipline during routine days. Shijin has repeatedly called out Komban for violating house rules, specifically questioning and targeting him for sleeping during active daytime hours when contestants are required to remain awake and engaged. Komban has dismissed Shijin’s regular callouts as petty policing, accusing Shijin of intentionally micro-managing fellow housemates purely to farm negative screen time against them.
