Savinya Velu was the first contestant to be evicted from Bigg Boss Tamil Season 10. The Bengaluru-based content creator described her exit as 'unfair' and said she felt betrayed by some fellow contestants. Here's a look at her profile and her short stint on the Vijay Sethupathi-hosted show.

Who Is Bigg Boss Tamil 10 Contestant Savinya Velu?

Speaking to Cinema Express, Savinya opened up about her sudden exit and said she felt let down by her fellow contestants. She added that she chose to walk out with a smile rather than show how emotional she was.

"When I first heard Bigg Boss' voice that announced that I was selected, I had butterflies in my stomach. The exact opposite happened when I was stepping out. It was a betrayal by my fellow contestants, but I came out with a smile because I didn't want to show the emotions," she said.

Savinya said the eviction impacted her financially as well. The housemates spend considerably on clothes and other preparations before entering the house, expecting to stay for a longer period. "Right from the costumes and other apparel, we have invested a lot to be in this show, right? I thought I would be in the house for much longer."

Signing off from the Bigg Boss Tamil 10 house, she recalled reading fan comments in her support. "That's our girl. We voted for her to be inside the show. How can her co-contestants decide she shouldn't be in it?' and that felt really good. It is nice to realise that there is an audience for me."

Muniyamma, Savinya Velu and Dhivya Pallath were among the contestants in the danger zone during the first week of Bigg Boss Tamil 10.

Unlike the usual process, the housemates were given the power to evict one contestant during the opening week instead of depending entirely on audience voting.

Bigg Boss later announced that Savinya had received the highest number of eviction votes among the nominated contestants. She was consequently asked to leave the house, making her the first contestant to be evicted this season.
