Who Is Oneal Sabu From Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7?
Oneal Sabu isn’t exactly the sort of person you expect to see pacing the drama-filled halls of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, but that’s honestly what makes him so intriguing. If you’ve wandered down the food-obsessed lanes of Kerala’s social media, you’ll know him as “FC Boy”—the guy from Fort Kochi with a thousand tales up his sleeve and, probably, some spicy homemade pickle in his bag.

Let’s get straight to it: Oneal started as—believe it or not—a serious maritime lawyer. He’s the sort of guy who racked up one degree after another, got his LLM in Maritime Law from Southampton, and worked nearly a decade in the legal world before packing up the suit, shutting the law books, and saying “enough is enough” in 2017. I admire that—a person who follows his calling, even when it means a hard reset in life.Trade legal chambers for the flavors of Fort Kochi? Sounds wild. But Oneal’s not just eating for Instagram likes—he’s built this life where food equals history, ancestry, and, honestly, a bit of mischief. His food blog and vlogs turned plenty of heads, painting Kerala’s traditional flavors—think Portuguese-influenced curries and family secrets—onto YouTube like little edible portraits. And he’s no armchair foodie: he’s organized late-night “colonial crawlies” haunted walks through Kochi, hosted heritage events, and dug through archives and attics to trace recipes back centuries. That’s commitment; my idea of heritage is remembering my mom’s dosa ratio.
Then there’s his community-building side; Oneal’s a founding member of Eat Kochi Eat, probably Kerala’s largest online food clan, and he writes like a dream. His book “Soul Fried Monologues” is a blend of anecdotes, recipes, nostalgia, and food philosophy—a true comfort read if you’re into culinary lore.
His entry into Bigg Boss is, honestly, a plot twist for the ages. He’s not chasing fame, at least not the way we’re used to. Expect him to geek out over food challenges, toss in some history lessons for free, and maybe, just maybe, make the kitchen the real battleground this season. Housemates who only know instant noodles, beware.
Fun facts to slip into conversation: Oneal was born in Fujairah, UAE, stands 5'11", wears his tattoos (especially of kitchen knives and maps) like badges of honor, and calls himself a non-vegetarian on a quest for culinary truth. He’s thoughtful—sometimes reserved, sometimes the life of the party—and, coming from law, can negotiate drama with a disarming smile.
