Who is Renu Sudhi, the widowed actor who faced cyberattacks over her glamorous photoshoots and is now a contestant on Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7?
And just like that, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has returned with yet another season of his hit television reality show Bigg Boss Malayalam, promising fun and drama like never before. As Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 kicked off in style on Sunday, host Mohanlal revealed the names of the 20 contestants who will compete against each other this time for the top position, among whom is social media sensation Renu Sudhi. Although rumours had been circulating for some time that she would be part of the show this edition, a final confirmation regarding the same has sent the hype around Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 through the roof. The second wife of renowned comedian and mimicry artiste Kollam Sudhi, Renu Sudhi, entered the public domain following his demise in a road accident in June 2023. While she initially gained prominence on social media by appearing in reels, music albums, and photoshoots, she quickly began facing massive cyberattacks. She became a 'hot topic' because she did not conform to the conventional lifestyle that patriarchal society had imposed on widows. Sections of social media took offence to some of her glamorous photoshoots and began to witch-hunt her, claiming that she was 'bringing shame' to Sudhi's name. From negative comments and body- and slut-shaming to the non-consensual scrutiny of her private and past life aimed at character assassination, Renu has faced it all. Although it's too early to predict her future in the Bigg Boss house and whether she will emerge victorious, indeed, this will completely revamp her image — for better or worse, which we will have to wait and see. Considering that the show has an audience base that goes far beyond social media trolls and includes commoners such as housewives and older people, Renu Sudhi's entry to the house will not be just as a viral social media star, but also with the added identity of being 'Kollam Sudhi's widow', which would offer her a good head start. Considering that she entered show business to support her family after her husband's demise and has been relentlessly targeted for the same, the chances of Renu attracting sympathy from the audience also can't be dismissed. Then an up-and-coming mimicry artiste, Kollam Sudhi's life took a dramatic turn when his long-time partner and first wife left him and their one-and-a-half-year-old son, Rahul. As a single parent, he struggled to strike the right balance between work and life, while also ensuring he was always there for his son. Years later, he found love and companionship in Renu Sudhi, and the two tied the knot. Besides Rahul, Sudhi has another child, Rithul, from his marriage to Renu. She had recently revealed that Sudhi's first wife allegedly died by suicide, two years before the comedian's demise. Once Renu Sudhi revealed that Sudhi was, technically, her second husband as she had been married once before, although that relationship didn't last long. In a conversation with a YouTube channel, she said, 'I had a life before this. Sudhi also knows about it. It was out of respect for his words that I never spoke of it. There is no need to dig up the past. Even that person (her ex-husband) is not interested in discussing it. He has a family now. His name is Binu. I was going to talk about it on the show Star Magic once, but Sudhi told me not to. His family is also aware of this.' A post shared by Ajith 📸 (@ringlockphotography) A post shared by Libra Modeling company (@ She added, 'As you know, a marriage needs to be registered. Usually, it's done after a month or two. This relationship didn't even last a month. So why would one register it? That is a closed chapter. He and I have no connection whatsoever. I am only speaking about it now because these allegations have come up. Until now, I had not said anything, out of respect for my husband's wishes.'

Sharon Stone Was 'Frustrated' With Rubber Knives in Nobody 2: 'Throw Real…'
Last Updated: Sharon Stone, 67, returns in Nobody 2 as antagonist Lendina, frustrated with rubber knives. After a 2001 stroke, she doubted herself but was convinced by her kids and Bob Odenkirk. Sharon Stone got 'frustrated" throwing rubber knives in Nobody 2. The 67-year-old actress features in the upcoming action sequel as antagonist Lendina and demanded that real knives be used in the scenes to make things more authentic. Sharon told Empire magazine: 'I've been in the action-movie business for a really long time. I was getting really frustrated because the stunt team was having me throw a bunch of f****** rubber knives. If you're going to throw knives, throw real knives." Sharon had not appeared in an action movie since suffering a life-threatening stroke in 2001 and admits that she had doubts about whether she could return to the genre after being approached for a role in the film alongside Bob Odenkirk. The Basic Instinct star said: 'Twenty years ago or so I had a stroke. And I started over, and I haven't done an action movie since then. I literally did not know, 'Do I still have it in me? Am I going to be able to come in here and make people believe that I can be this ass-kicking hyper-villain?'" Sharon was convinced to sign up for the sequel after watching the original 2021 flick Nobody with her kids – adopted sons Roan, 25, Laird, 20, and Quinn, 19 – and explained that they were thrilled when she accepted the part. The Total Recall star said: 'When I was up for it, my kids were out of my minds." She also relished the opportunity to collaborate with Better Call Saul star Odenkirk. Stone said: 'He's a good guy. I love the work, Odenkirk loves his work. He's like (Robert) De Niro, working to work better." Bob also enjoyed the experience and is now planning to work together with her on another film. The 62-year-old star said: 'We're trying to think of another movie we can do together. I have an idea that I've been kicking around. A very low-key comedy." The idea to cast Sharon as the villain came about as Odenkirk wants the Nobody franchise to become a 'fantasy" in a similar way to the James Bond films. He said: 'I want it to become a fantasy. I want it to become James Bond, and I want the villain to be as big and colourful and unreal as a James Bond villain." Odenkirk suffered a heart attack while filming Better Call Saul in 2021 but insists that reprising his role as ex-government assassin Hutch Mansell did not pose a health risk. He explained: 'There's almost no scarring on my heart after all that. And the reason is, according to the nurse and my cardio doctor, is that these other veins that feed your heart were somewhat enlarged. They're bigger than you normally see, and that was because of the two-and-a-half years of training for Nobody. I can work out. I do two a day when I'm training for the movie." view comments First Published: August 04, 2025, 19:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Bahut Khadoos Hai!': Farah Khan's Cook Dilip ROASTS Her In Front Of Boman Irani In Hilarious Vlog
Farah Khan's cook Dilip calls her "khadoos" and reveals hilarious secrets in front of Boman Irani in her latest vlog. Farah Khan and her cook Dilip's delightful banter continues to be the internet's favourite comfort-watch. In her latest vlog, the filmmaker and choreographer takes Dilip along for a visit to actor Boman Irani's house, where the two friends cook up some traditional Parsi dishes—along with a generous side of gossip. As Farah cheekily warns Dilip not to tell her husband if she flirts with Boman—whom she adorably calls 'her favourite"—the trio gets busy chopping, marinating, and chatting in the kitchen. But the real entertainment begins when Boman pulls Dilip aside for a 'private" tête-à-tête and insists the cameras be turned off (spoiler: they weren't). 'Farah camera ke saamne itni acchi baatein karti hai, jab camera band hota hai toh kaisi hai?" Boman asks, teasing. Dilip doesn't skip a beat: 'Bahut khadoos hai (She's very grumpy)." Boman, feigning mock hurt, continues, 'Woh mere baare mein hamesha acchi baatein karti hai. Kya yeh sach hai?" Once again, Dilip delivers a killer punchline: 'Nahi, aapki bahut burai karti hai (No, she talks badly about you)." And when the conversation shifts to food—Farah's favourite subject—Boman asks if she's actually following a diet. 'Diet pe nahi hai, Farah ma'am. Khoob saara khaati hai," Dilip reveals with a laugh. 'Diet pe hoti hai toh dal chawal, soup chawal… par jab diet pe nahi hoti, toh khoob saara khaati hai." The vlog, while packed with humour, also offers glimpses into the genuine warmth shared between Farah, Boman, and Zenobia Irani, who joins in to help with the chutney prep. From laughing about flirtations to arguing about food portions, the camaraderie is evident—and deeply infectious. Farah and Boman's friendship goes way back. The two first worked together in Main Hoon Na, followed by their adorable pairing in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi and later Happy New Year. Over the years, their off-screen chemistry has remained just as entertaining as their on-screen magic—and this vlog is proof that some bonds only get better (and funnier) with time.
