Reality TV and Bigg Boss Tamil personality Aranthangi Nisha has entered the escalating Watermelon Star Diwakar–Cook with Comali controversy by openly slamming Diwakar’s version of events and backing the Vijay TV team, especially Ma Ka Pa Anand, Pugazh, and Gana Vinoth. In a now viral private interview cum statement video, shared widely on social media, Nisha describes Diwakar’s narrative as a distortion and doubles down on the claim that the real issue on the CWC set was how he treated female co‑participants.
What Nisha has said against Diwakar
In the video, which was first shared by a Tamil YouTube channel and then reposted by Bigg Boss commentator Jo Michael Praveen on X, Nisha says “Diwakar’s version is not the truth” and labels his allegations as “100% lies.” She argues that the reason he was removed from the Cook with Comali shoot and later filed a police complaint was not because of any physical “attack” by Ma Ka Pa or the others, but because Diwakar acted inappropriately towards several women on the set and created a hostile, uncomfortable atmosphere.
Nisha also targets the way the story is being packaged in the media, accusing some channels and creators of using old clips and selective audio to create a narrative that favours Diwakar, even though she and other female participants are ready to speak out about his behaviour. In one of the sharpest lines circulating online, she reportedly says that everyone involved in the girls’ quarters during the CWC shoot is “ready and willing” to come on record, and that the collective account would expose what really happened.
Her stance on Ma Ka Pa and the “iron‑rod” claim
On the specific allegation that Ma Ka Pa Anand hit Diwakar with an iron rod, Nisha has been categorical, calling the charge fabricated and part of a “scripted” victim image. She points out that the set‑discipline violations, verbal‑code‑of‑conduct breaches, and the reported discomfort of female cast members were the real triggers for Diwakar’s removal, not a sudden on‑set assault. Her comments align with Ma Ka Pa’s own public rejection of the iron‑rod story, where he has asked how he could have acted violently while working an 18‑hour‑day shoot schedule.
Why Nisha’s intervention matters
Nisha’s public backing significantly changes the optics of the case because she is one of the few prominent female reality‑TV figures who has directly tied the dispute to gender dynamics and on‑set behaviour, rather than just technical or contractual issues. By framing it as a women‑versus‑Diwakar conflict, she has pushed the discourse away from a binary “Me vs Ma Ka Pa” to a broader debate on how reality shows handle harassment allegations and male‑cast‑misconduct.
For fans, the video adds another layer to what is already a messy mix of police complaints, social‑media theatrics, and legal posturing. While Diwakar’s camp continues to press the assault and threat‑to‑life angle, Nisha’s intervention has given the Ma Ka Pa–Pugazh–Gana Vinoth side a high‑profile, gender‑aligned voice that could influence public opinion and, potentially, how the case is viewed beyond the courtroom.
