Kasturi Shankar officially a part of Bigg Boss Tamil Season 3
The actor is the 17th contestant to enter the house

We had earlier reported that popular actor Kasturi Shankar could potentially be involved in Bigg Boss Tamil 3. But the actor took to Twitter on August 1 to deny the rumors despite an alleged leaked conversation between her and an executive of the show.
போன வாரம் கமல் சொன்னாரே, கீரிக்கும் பாம்புக்கும் சண்டையின்னு.... அதே மாதிரி கஸ்தூரி பிக் பாஸ் போறாங்கன்னு சொல்லிக்கிட்டேதான் இருக்காங்க. எவ்வளவுதான் மறுக்கமுடியும் ? இதுக்கு விதம் விதமா 'ஆதாரம்' வேற . ஊர்ஜிதப்படுத்தப்பட்ட செய்திகளை மட்டும் வெளியிட்டால் யாவரும் நலம்.

However, the actor, who has constantly been voicing her opinion about the show, recently issued a non-committal reply to a fan's speculative tweet wondering if her absence on Twitter might suggest that she had joined the show.
Tweet வரலைனதும் #BiggBossTamil போயிட்டீங்களோனு நினைச்சேன்...

Her response read: "Nadakkum enpar nadadakadhu, nadakadenpar nadanduvidum."
With the recent eliminations of Reshma Pasupuleti and Saravanan, the count at the Bigg Boss house is now down to 10, and in a promo aired earlier today, the actor has officially joined the house wrapped literally in a gift box.
With more than half the show left to go, the actor, best known for playing host Kamal's onscreen sister in Indian, could well emerge as the darkhorse.
