The conversation has since sparked a heated debate among fans and viewers of the show.
During a casual chat inside the house, Shanavas approached Gizele with what he described as 'well-meaning advice,' urging her to reconsider her wardrobe choices. 'The way you are brought up, your profession, everything might be different. I suggest you be a bit more well-dressed. No matter what you are outside, this is a show watched by Malayalis.
Freedom of choice of dress is for all, you can wear what you wish. But to earn their love, impression, and votes, you need to do it.
'
However, Gizele appeared to take the feedback in a positive spirit and acknowledged Shanavas' point of view.
This comment followed his earlier nomination of Gizele, where he expressed concerns that her dressing style might not sit well with the Kerala audience, calling it potentially "nasty" in the context of local culture. His statement during the nomination round had already attracted criticism on social media, with many calling it regressive and judgmental.
While some viewers supported Shanavas for being 'honest' and looking out for his co-contestant, a large section of the audience criticized the comment as a form of moral policing.

Controversies are heating up in the Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 house, and the latest episode sparked outrage among viewers after referred to fellow contestant Renu Sudhi as a "septic tank" during a task. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As part of the game, contestants were asked to assign nicknames to housemates they like and dislike. While most inmates opted for humorous or mildly satirical names, Akbar's choice stirred a storm. He named Oneal as the contestant he liked, calling him "Mr. Perfect", but for the contestant he disliked, he named Renu "septic tank", claiming that she is full of "toxic things." Renu, taken aback by the comment, responded by naming Akbar "hunt dog" as her least liked contestant. However, the remark deeply affected her, and she was later seen breaking down in a conversation with fellow contestant Noora. " asked for a nickname. If he wanted to hurt me, he could've called me anything even 'waste'. But 'septic tank'? Really? I am a lady, a mother, a widow. That was a disgrace to womanhood. I was shattered," Renu said, holding back tears. She further added that her presence in the house is to represent widows and single mothers who struggle daily to raise their children with dignity. Akbar, in a later camera-facing moment, tried to justify his comment. 'I just meant to say she has nothing but irrelevant content. I only wanted to trigger her. If she's hurt, I'm ready to apologise.' However, the damage seems done. Viewers took to social media to express their support for Renu and condemned Akbar's choice of words. "Akbar is trying to humiliate her because of the hate she faced outside," one user wrote. "That was pathetic, she is a human being first," another commented.
