Here's the official update:
Bigg Boss Malayalam is the regional adaptation of the popular reality show Bigg Boss (originally taken from the Dutch reality programme Big Brother).
As we enter the 7th edition of the Malayalam version, Mohanlal is returning as the host once again, continuing his streak since the show's inception. The reality programme features 20 or more contestants being put into a house together for approximately 3 months.
Over the weeks, the contestants are given several tasks which they have to fulfill for the livelihood needs within the space. Moreover, each week, contestants are nominated among themselves for the elimination process, with a contestant being dropped from the game owing to audience choice.
Up until the 6th season, the show used to start in March, but due to a delay in selecting contestants and Mohanlal being busy with L2: Empuraan promotions, the show was postponed to August 2025.
The official logo of Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 was unveiled on May 21, 2025, coinciding with Mohanlal 's birthday this year. Reportedly, unlike previous seasons, the Malayalam edition will not be reusing sets used for other adaptations, with a dedicated space erected for them in Chennai itself.

Gargi Kundu opens up about facing harsh comments on her skin and identity
Actress and content creator Gargi Kundu has opened up about the harsh criticism she has faced over the years. She revealed that she was often mocked for her skin tone, appearance, and identity. Speaking candidly, she shared how these experiences shaped her journey and strengthened her resolve. Gargi, who is known for her role in the show 'Society' on Jio Hotstar, shared, 'I was mocked for my looks every day. People called me 'behenji', said my specs were too big, and even made fun of my skin colour. It hurt—but I never let it define me.' 'It felt like I was being judged for just being myself. I wear my glasses with pride. I love my skin. And I'm not here to meet someone else's standards,' she asserted. The actress shared life inside the society house wasn't any easier for Gargi. For the unversed, Gargi Kundu began her artistic career with classical training in Bharatanatyam and folk dance, and was actively involved in theatre and Bollywood-style performances from a young age. Her early exposure to the performing arts laid the groundwork for her later work across various creative platforms. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Gargi worked as a medical professional, offering help on the ground while also turning to storytelling to express the grief and uncertainty of the time. This period marked a turning point as she began creating short, relatable videos online—many of which went viral. Her growing popularity on social media led to roles in Bengali television and films, and eventually to appearances in pan-Indian OTT content including web series, music videos, and advertisements. She made her debut in the world of reality television with the show, 'Society.' The show featured 25 contestants competing in a tier-based format—Royals, Regulars, and Rags—facing daily challenges to win the title of 'Asli Baazigar.' Hosted by comedian Munawar Faruqui and co-hosted by Shreya Kalra, the show focused on social dynamics, survival, and strategy.
