Mahat touches Yashika's butt
Mahat Raghavendra and Yashika's proximity raises eyebrows.A screen shot from a promo

Mahat Raghavendra has been slammed by Bigg Boss Tamil ans over his proximity with his co-contestant Yashika Aannand. Friday's episode (June 29), saw public fuming over some of his gestures.

Mahat's behaviour with the young girls in the house has often come under public scanner, but in the latest episode, he apparently touched Yashika's hips, a gesture that has not gone down well with the conservative viewers.

Mahat and Yashika were having a conversation on a bed in the presence of Aishwarya, Shariq and Thadi Balaji when he touched her hips, but Balaji tried to stop him from crossing his limits. Mahat then joked that he was testing her mic.

Although Mahat's intention may not have been wrong and the actress might not have objections to his behaviour, but people seem to be uncomfortable watching such scenes in Bigg Boss Tamil

If this was not enough, there was even a conversation about Yashika and Mahat Raghavendra on giving her a treatment in bathroom. This has lead viewers to wonder if the series is a family show or a programme meant for adults. 

These instances have earned him the tag of a "pervert". People predict his behaviour in the show might affect his personal life once he is out of Bigg Boss house. 

Here, we bring you the memes and tweets posted by the upset netizens on the social media site:
