Bigg Boss 9 Contestant and Watermelon Star Diwakar has alleged that he was assaulted by Vijay TV celebrities Gana Vinod, Ma Ka Pa Anand and Pugazh on the set of Cook With Comali and has lodged a police complaint against them, triggering a fresh round of controversy over the star’s behaviour and on‑air safety. Also he has alleged that Ma Ka Pa Anand was in an intoxicated state and has physically assaulted him.
Alleged assault and the police case
According to reports, Watermelon Star Divakar approached the police to file a formal complaint, claiming that he was assaulted during the CWC shoot and suffered bodily harm that he insists was not part of any pre‑approved script or joke.
Social‑media users commenting on X and Facebook threads have pointed out that Divakar has often been mocked by Vijay TV shows and personalities, where he was ridiculed in a humorous segment that many fans read as a takedown of his over‑the‑top persona.
With the video circulating widely and both sides digging in, the incident raises broader questions about the limits of “comedy” on reality and game‑show sets, the safety of invited guests, and the thin line between roasting and assault, particularly when a clearly identifiable digital influencer like the Watermelon Star is involved. As the legal process unfolds, viewers and industry watchers will be watching closely to see whether the act is treated as within the bounds of scripted TV chaos or as a genuine breach of personal safety.
