Sandra walked up to the Parvathy and hugged her. Parvathy said, "I looked up at the house and not the contestants who didn't come to send me off." She then thanked the fans who supported her.

Joining Vijay Sethupathi on stage, Aurora Sinclair said, "My days inside the Bigg Boss house were fun. I expected to be in the Top 3. I didn't expect this. I was in a comfort zone inside the house, conveying my feelings to only one person and when that one person was evicted, I felt so low. I gained courage only when I felt that I might be evicted." 

She talked about her future plans and said, "I want to study further. I liked a certain lifestyle. Other than being pretty, I felt that I didn't know anything else beyond beauty. At that time, I decided that I needed to learn to sustain for the next 40 years. That's why I saved some money."

Bigg Boss wished Aurora great things in life, which moved her to tears. Sabarinathan lifted her and started dancing, while Vikram and Divya joined them. 

Aurora Sinclair has been eliminated from the show. The finalists were taken to the activity room where several gifts were packed. They were asked to unwrap the boxes and find a name card of the person who was about to be eliminated.
