Who is Akash Sabu from Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7?
Akash Sabu stepped into Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 as a wildcard entrant — but let’s be honest, he’s anything but “wildcard” in the usual sense. He’s a food and lifestyle vlogger from Trivandrum, Kerala, who somehow manages to make street food look as glamorous as any five-star buffet. The guy behind the Instagram page “High On Food” and the YouTube channel “Sabuman,” Akash is truly living proof that you don’t need to be a movie star to grab a spotlight in Kerala — sometimes all it takes is a love for spicy beef fry and the confidence to dance about it in public.

It all started pretty simply. Akash didn’t just wake up famous — he grew his following step by step, showcasing local eateries, hidden gems, and even home chefs that most of Kerala drive right by without a second glance. He narrates in English on Instagram and YouTube, so the foodie party extends to tourists and non-Malayalis too. You might spot him goofing around with weird food combinations or breaking into a dance in the middle of a roadside chai point. And, yes, his “So Foodies” catchphrase — it’s really less about the food and more about the vibe. One regular viewer said, “Feels like Akash could make tapioca chips sound like caviar.” Can confirm. Been there. Watched that.
Akash’s Vlogger Universe
He’s got a bunch of things going on:
-
Food hunts: From authentic Neapolitan pizzas in small towns to Diwali-special Rasmalai tres leches cakes, Akash brings the unexpected every week.
-
Fitness and fashion: Akash isn’t shy about showing off his gym transformation or trying on the latest mall looks (sometimes with questionable results — I remember one reel where his shirt struggled for dear life).
-
Dancer and model: He’s trained, and you can tell! His reels often bounce between a biriyani review and a quick breakdance. Sometimes it works. Sometimes, well… it’s entertaining!
-
His followers — 27,000+ on Instagram — come for the food recommendations but stay for the friendly chaos, humor, and slice-of-life Kerala moments. He accidentally set off a mini social media debate over whether beef fry should be paired with appam or parotta, and the comments are still going.
Real Life and Bigg Boss Drama
Akash didn’t just jump from social media into the Bigg Boss fire pit without life experience. Raised in Trivandrum, he earned a BA in Media and Communication from Manipal University before dabbling in advertising gigs and a food delivery app’s sales department. But none of those jobs stuck quite like content creation. His vlogs reflect that journey — from slick commercial shoots to unfiltered roadside drama. You see genuine moments. Odd, too. Like one time he convinced a fishmonger to teach him a dance move, right in the market. It was not elegant. But it sure was honest.
When he entered Bigg Boss Malayalam 7, the show was already deep into its weekly tasks and testy house politics. Akash brought a burst of new energy just when things were getting a little blah. He’s not an actor, at least not by trade, but his confidence in front of the camera makes him a crowd favorite — or maybe a dark horse. It’s fun to watch someone who genuinely seems delighted just to be there.
