Actress Vanitha Vijayakumar has announced her exit from the reality show BB Jodigal. The former Bigg Boss Tamil contestant took to her social networking page to issues a long statement regarding quitting the show and the reasons behind her decision. “I sincerely thank the media, my fans and all well-wishers for your support and appreciation on my kali avatar in #BBJodigal. I wanted you all to see the impact i created before announced that I WALKED OUT OF BBJODIGAL show. I am a person who will never accept bullying, harrassment and abuse from anyone. Whomsoever, even if they are my own family. The whole world knows that. Vijay TV has always been family ever since Bigg Boss 3. I have been working with them continuously in shows like Cooku with Comali, Kalakka Povadhu Yaaru and many special appearance in their shows.”
She further added, “It is heart breaking to see someone senior to you in every way and someone who has achieved working their hard way up, looks down at youngsters who are struggling their way up, insulting them and discouraging them. Especially a single mom of 3 children who is achieving and succeeding with no family or husband support after a life long struggle. Women must stand by other women not make their life miserable. It is sad bidding adieu to BBJODIGAL and wishing all the other contestants best of luck. Winning isn't everything, participating and taking up the challenge is most important." Actress Ramya Krishnan and actor, singer Nakhul Jaidev are the judges of the show. Vanitha has been courting controversy over her personal life for the past many months. Vanitha got married to her longtime boyfriend and filmmaker Peter Paul last year in June. However, the wedding did not last long due to her husband's alcohol addiction.
