During yesterday’s Bigg Boss episode, Jason Kaushi’s comments about TTF were completely ironic! He was shouting that TTF has a massive outside following, doesn't need Bigg Boss, and should be eliminated immediately. But let's be honest—are you really a "common man"?

What happened Madurai-based Instagram influencer Veeramani, known for humorous Tamil content, posted a video before Diwali asking followers to send him a box of sweets, and shared his address and phone number. At first, kind followers did send sweets. Then things went wrong. Pranksters used his address to place a flood of cash-on-delivery orders, and Amazon and Flipkart agents arrived with washing machines, refrigerators, smartphones and televisions, including one TV priced at Rs 1.69 lakh.
