Who is Aneesh Tharayil from Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7?
Aneesh Tharayil is the kind of contestant who walks into the Bigg Boss Malayalam house not with swagger, but with a sense of raw purpose—you notice him for the things he says and, sometimes, the things he does not. He’s from Thrissur, which probably explains why his accent feels so unmistakably rooted even when he’s debating at full throttle. Below is a post shared by biggbossmalayalamanalyst on their Instagram page about aneesh_samples:

He’s not a TV industry insider or a social media influencer churned out by the usual circuits; instead, he’s a published author (his book “En Neram Thuzhanju” hits more emotional chords than I expected from a memoir), a cultivator, and wait for it a government employee who quit his stable bank job to chase this Bigg Boss dream.
Here is a picture shared by the Instagram post aneesh_samples official account:

Talk about rolling the dice on national television! He’d been auditioning for years, but Season 7 was finally his entry ticket. And not just any entry: Aneesh became the first male commoner to step in this season, nabbing the spotlight, and, in a streak of unfiltered leadership, also the first captain of the house.
Now, about that house… Aneesh isn’t afraid to lock horns or ruffle a few feathers. There’s already been drama—one spat with Renu Sudhi drew some fire after he made (let’s call it) an “insensitive” comment about her late husband, not his classiest moment. But he wears his opinions on his sleeve, whether he’s voicing out for men’s rights in divorce battles or just poking fun at a co-contestant during a quirky shaving-foam task.
What I find real about Aneesh is the oddball mix: you’ll see Instagram posts about his pet rabbit or road trips, yet he’s also the guy likely to go philosophical about breaking cycles of memory or preserving joy, all thanks to his penchant for writing. Is he always easy to root for?
Honestly, no, he irritates as much as he inspires, but isn’t that what reality TV’s about? Someone not built for perfect likability but built for conversation, for conviction, for a little unpredictability. If “commoner” is the moniker, Aneesh just doesn’t fit in any box—except maybe the one he’ll probably write about next.
