Riythvika was granted immunity by Kamal Haasan for her honest opinions about her fellow housemates' strategy, however, during an interaction with Kamal a week earlier.[79][58]
- ^Note 19 : Although Mahat was supposed to be the week-11 house captain, he was evicted at the end of week 10; Kamal Haasan decided to nominate Sendrayan as the week-11 captain in accordance with the other housemates' wishes and because he had not been house captain.[58]

- ^Note 21 : Riythvika was nominated for the week-13 eviction after failing to persuade Mumtaz to perform the task assigned by the telephone caller.[81]
- ^Note 22 : In week 13, the housemates had to decide who would be nominated for eviction. Since they could not reach a decision, house captain Riythvika nominated Vijayalakshmi, Aishwarya and Mumtaz.[28]
- ^Note 23 : Janani had immunity until the final week, after winning the Ticket to Finale task.[29]
- ^Note 24 : Balaji and Yashika were evicted in week 14.[29][30][63]
