He is the first male commoner to enter the
Malayalam house, the first contestant to step in this season, and notably, the first captain of the season. But who really is Aneesh Tharayil?
Hailing from Thrissur, Aneesh is a writer and cultivator. He is also an ardent fan of the Bigg Boss and had been trying to get into the show for several years. His dream finally came true when he won the commoner audition for Season 7 — a rare opportunity that speaks volumes about his persistence and passion.
What makes Aneesh's journey even more inspiring is the fact that he took a long leave from his government job just to be part of the show. During the grand premiere, host
proudly introduced him as someone who gave up a secure job to chase his dream.
Aneesh is also a published author. His book 'En Neram Thuzhanju' reflects his literary inclination and adds another dimension to his personality. He describes himself as someone who won't shy away from stating his opinions, a trait that has already started to show in the house, especially during his confrontations with fellow contestants.
Before stepping into Bigg Boss, Aneesh openly shared his personal story, revealing that he is a divorcee. He expressed his desire to speak on behalf of men who face discrimination in divorce and separation cases. Aneesh says he is not against women but is critical of those who unjustly corner men, and he hopes to use the Bigg Boss platform to voice this perspective.
Interestingly, this is not Aneesh's first appearance on television. He was previously seen as a contestant on the popular quiz-based show Sell Me The Answer, hosted by actor Mukesh.
