Who is Jishin Mohan from Bigg Boss Malayalam 7?
Jishin Mohan is a former Indian kabaddi player who’s transitioned from the sweaty fields to the even sweatier world of reality TV. Bigg Boss, of course, is a pressure cooker—the kind of place where people either bloom or combust. When Jishin stepped into the house, the show suddenly felt less like an endless parade of melodrama and more like…well, a game you could maybe survive if you had real backbone.

He wasn’t part of the usual crop of actors and small-screen veterans; people in Kerala remembered Jishin from his days representing India in kabaddi. Unlike some other housemates, he brought quiet confidence. Watching him in early episodes, it hit me—here’s a guy who’s tasted straight-up competition, not just “vote for me” popularity contests. Sometimes he’d stay silent in group chats, a habit kabaddi players pick up when sizing up an opponent, and when he finally spoke, it was rarely just for the cameras.
Jishin Mohan Wife
Jishin Mohan is married to Anjusree Kannan. That’s not just a fact to be checked off a list. In one memorable weekend episode, Jishin talked about his relationship—tough times, sacrifices, and the way Anjusree handled his unpredictable schedule from kabaddi tournaments to TV gigs. He didn't wax poetic; instead, he described her as someone who "kept things together," the kind of praise you hear from athletes who know how much work goes on behind the scenes.

Here’s a bit of personal charm that leaked into conversation: when asked about his toughest moments, Jishin referenced the time he missed a family function because of a championship. He joked, “Kabaddi fans think you only sweat on the field, not when you’re apologizing to your wife later.” It’s that little crack—humor blended with honesty—that made him likable beyond the game show’s walls.
Jishin Mohan Age
Jishin Mohan was born in 1987, putting him at around 38 as he appeared on Bigg Boss Malayalam 7.
Jishin Mohan Career
Jishin Mohan’s career began on kabaddi courts before taking a sharp turn toward the limelight of Malayalam entertainment. He played for Kerala, then the India national team, earning respect as a defender who was more about teamwork than solo heroics. That sport—kabaddi—is a sweaty, unforgiving contest, and Jishin’s not the type to exaggerate his glory. He once mentioned, almost sheepishly, the time he sprained his ankle right before selection season and had to watch from the sidelines. “Fans only remember the medals, not the ice packs.”
After his sporting career wound down, Jishin drifted toward television and chatter shows, partly because—let’s be honest—media pays better than most sports unless you’re cricket royalty. On Bigg Boss, he wasn’t the star of every episode, but viewers noticed his steady presence. He’d lose a task, grumble a bit (“Should’ve stuck to kabaddi”), then get up next morning and keep going.
Here’s a loose, informal list of career memories—imperfect and a little random, just like real conversations:
- Played for Kerala, then India in kabaddi
- Switched to local TV gigs, sometimes anchoring sports shows
- Entered Bigg Boss Malayalam 7, surprising viewers with his calm factor
- Frequently used old sports discipline to survive mind games inside the house
