Vanitha Vijaykumar, actress and mother of 'Bigg Boss Tamil 7' contestant Jovika, has claimed that she was brutally attacked by a "so-called" Pradeep Anthony fan.

She has shared a photo of her injured face and about the incident. "Bravely posting my attack . #BiggBoss7Tamil is just a game show on tv . I don't deserve to go thru this," she said.

In her second tweet, she wrote, "Brutally attacked by god knows who ! A so called #PradeepAntony supporter. Finished my #BiggBossTamil7 review and had dinner and walked down to my car i parked in my sister sowmyas house was dark and a man appeared from nowhere and said red card kudukreengala."

According to her, the assaulter attacked him before fleeing the spot. "Ni support vera and hit me hard on my face and fleed away . I was in so much pain bleeding in my face and yelling. No one around was around 1 am .i called my sister to come down she urged me to go report this incident to police but i told her I lost trust in the process," she added.

Vanitha claimed that she was not in a position to appear in TV shows due to this incident. "I took first aid and left home with rage and not able to identify my attacker. He laughed like a lunatic which haunts my ears. Taking a break from everything as i am not in a physical condition to appear on screen. For those who support disturbed ppl danger is just a feet away," she added.

Who is Pradeep Antony?

Actor-filmmaker Pradeep Antony was one of the contestants in 'Bigg Boss Tamil 7'. She was given a red card to be eliminated from the show after several women contestants including Jovika raised 'safety concerns' in the show.

However, this enraged the 'Bigg Boss Tamil' fans and notably Pradeep Antony fans who accused Kamal Haasan fans of unfairly sending Antony out of the show.
