Who is Aryan Kathuria from Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7?
Bigg Boss fans love some fresh drama, and this season, Aryan Kathuria's name keeps popping up everywhere. He’s not the typical Mollywood face—got more of that “pan-India” main-character energy, bringing his background in modeling, movies, and even cricket right into the Bigg Boss house. That mix is kinda rare on Malayalam TV lately, so honestly, it's no wonder Aryan’s making news right from episode one.
On X/Twitter, @JioHotstarMal: "Bigg Boss Season 7 kicks off with Aryan Kathuria joining the house! Catch the grand premiere now on Asianet and streaming on JioHotstar."
On Instagram, @biggbossmalayalamanalyst: "Welcome to BBMS7 Aryan Kathuria! Wishing you all the best. Watch the full episode now."

Aryan Kathuria Age
There's some confusion online (those fan accounts always get it half-wrong), but Aryan just turned 26 this June. Young enough for all that reality-show chaos, old enough to have a few interesting stories up his sleeve. He started his career in his late teens, apparently, and those who have followed his Insta stories would notice he never misses a family birthday without a post—his latest one was all about turning 26 and thanking his folks for the support.
Aryan Kathuria and Family
Aryan talks openly about his family—on the Bigg Boss stage itself he mentioned his parents and his brother, all present in Kerala, though their family comes from Punjabi roots. This blend—Punjabi last name but total Kerala upbringing—gives him a cool mix of cultures, and you see it in the way he talks (switching between Malayalam and Hindi).
Aryan Kathuria Movies
Here’s where things get interesting. Aryan isn’t just a model-turned-celebrity, he’s done real acting gigs too. He had a memorable role in “Falimy” (2023), played in “Vadakkan” (2025, a Malayalam supernatural flick), and even appeared in Dulquer Salmaan’s soon-to-release “I'm Game”. Most Bigg Boss contestants haven’t crossed over from films and TV commercials quite like him. Plus, he’s done 50+ national ads (those viral ice cream commercials, anyone?), a mini-series on Amazon Prime called “Date Baazi,” and smaller roles in films like “Ormakalil” and “1983” (in that one, he played a boy at the cricket academy).
On Instagram, @offbeetstudios: "Vadakkan continues to thrill in its 3rd week – experience the fear and mystery in theaters now!"

If you dig around his modeling days, there’s a whole archive of runway and photo shoot pics. Not gonna lie, he’s kinda got that new-gen Ranveer Singh vibe—flashy, unfiltered, fun.
Aryan in Bigg Boss House – Hot Takes
Inside the house, Aryan’s already grabbed screen time with his “not just a contestant, I am an entire episode” speech. He’s trying to play smart and social, not too over-the-top but definitely not blending in. Some BB7 watchers are calling him the “underdog,” others say he’s trying too hard, but that’s reality TV—every move's a risk.
Twitter threads are buzzing! A popular post from @htshowbiz: “Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Mohanlal welcomes Aryan Kathuria—actor, cricketer, and model. Fans already betting he’ll make it to the finals. #BiggBossMalayalam7”. Insta fan pages keep remixing his best house moments, and that "entrée walk" clip is everywhere—just scroll through #aryankathuria to catch the hype.
On Instagram, @aryan_kath_: "Entering Bigg Boss with dreams and your blessings. Need all your love and support."

Not Just Actor, But Sporty Too
Lot of reality stars don't have real athletic chops, but Aryan’s played for Kerala Strikers in the Celebrity Cricket League, which brought him a different kind of fanbase. NGL, it's refreshing seeing someone mix both cricket and acting careers. Gives him another angle in the house, especially with sports and fitness tasks.
Aryan Kathuria isn’t everybody’s classic idea of a Bigg Boss “masala” contestant. He’s got a thoughtful vibe, comes with both theater roots and some social-media skills, and seems genuinely keen to stay away from just shouting matches and fake drama, at least early on. If you’re catching up on Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, keep an eye on Aryan—the dude’s got layers, and most likely, plenty more twists to come
