Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Unsurprisingly, Aneesh received the maximum number of complaints. The episode featured Mohanlal reading out the complaint letters and inviting the contestants to share their issues directly. Adhila and Noora were the first to speak up, accusing Aneesh of being unwilling to listen and claiming he had made hurtful comments involving their families. The host took this seriously and advised the trio to resolve the matter among themselves respectfully. Next, Abhilash expressed that Aneesh seemed to be following a "lone warrior" strategy, isolating himself from the rest of the house. Sarath chimed in, stating that while the rest of the housemates shared a sense of unity, Aneesh was the one constantly sparking issues. Mohanlal reminded them that the house cannot always function as a "perfect" household. Binny pointed out Aneesh's inconsistency in behavior. 'He talks about standing for Malayalam, but then suddenly switches to English. He says he respects women, but ends up triggering them the next moment,' she said. Mohanlal responded that perhaps it was Aneesh's game strategy, intentional or not. Sarika criticized Aneesh's performance as captain, claiming he failed to carry out his duties effectively. As complaints piled on, Mohanlal, visibly amused yet concerned, remarked that it felt like listening to "kindergarten fights." He advised the contestants to focus on their own game rather than fixating on one individual.
