Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 has barely completed its first week, but controversies are already heating up inside—and outside—the house.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In the recent episode, the housemates took part in their first-ever nomination for eviction. During his turn, nominated Gizele, citing her choice of attire as his reason. 'I am nominating Gizele. The freedom of clothes is everyone's right, but I feel her clothing might feel nasty for the Kerala culture,' he said, triggering immediate reactions online. Soon after the episode aired, Shanavas began facing backlash across social media platforms. A section of netizens labelled him a 'Kulapurushan', a colloquial Malayalam term often used to describe a patriarchal or moral policing figure. Others pointed out the irony in his statement, noting that he himself is seen wearing shorts inside the house. 'Why can't he wear a dhoti instead of shorts if he's so concerned about samskaram?' questioned one user. 'As a mark of respect to Kerala culture, you please change into a mundu,' quipped another. Some even joked he's giving off major 'Ammavan' vibes, a term often used for self-righteous uncles who enforce outdated morals. Shanavas Shanu is well known to the Malayalam TV audience through hit serials like and Kumkumapoovu. Meanwhile, Gizele Thakral, an international model and actress, is no stranger to controversy, having earlier appeared on Hindi Season 9.
