Five housemates - Ranjini Haridas, Srinish, Pearle Maaney, Aristo Suresh and Archana Suseelan - were nominated for elimination by the contestants this week in Bigg Boss Malayalam. In the initial phases of voting, it has been revealed that Ranjini Haridas is most likely going to be eliminated this week. However, things have taken an unexpected turn over the past few days, and as per the latest voting statistics, Ranjini Haridas is comfortably reaching the safe zone.

In the past few days, Ranjini Haridas has succeeded in amassing huge number of votes as compared to Pearle Maaney and Archana Suseelan, the other hot favorites of this reality show. As Ranjini is slowly approaching the safe zone, social media users have alleged a foul play from Asianet's side to save her.

As per these skeptics, Ranjini has a longstanding relationship with Asianet from the days of 'Idea Star Singer', and this is compelling the channel to manipulate the voting process in her favour. These people also allege that Mohanlal too is supporting this unethical move by Asianet.

Viewers claim that Ranjini Haridas is the most disliked contestant in the Bigg Boss Malayalam house. According to them, Ranjini's recent tiff with Shiyas had negatively impacted her chances to be in the safe zone, but Asianet is intentionally manipulating the voting process and is trying their best to save the 'Star Singer' anchor.

Most of the members in the Facebook group 'Bigg Boss Malayalam fans' are campaigning to stop watching the programme till Asianet stops favouring Ranjini Haridas. These viewers believe that Aristo Suresh or Srinish will be expelled by the Bigg Boss this week, as both of them are innocent human beings who are not gossip mongers.
