Gizele Thakral’s Stunning Return: The Glamorous Game-Changer Among Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7’s Star-Studded Cast

The entertainment world is buzzing as Gizele Thakral makes her dramatic return to reality television through Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7. The seventh season premiered on August 3, 2025, with legendary actor Mohanlal returning as host for the consecutive seventh year. What makes this season particularly exciting is the diverse mix of 20 contestants, each bringing their unique flavor to the controversial house. Among them, Gizele Thakral stands out as the most talked-about entry, marking her return to the Bigg Boss franchise after her memorable stint in the Hindi version.

Gizele Thakral: The Spotlight Stealer

Gizele Thakral’s entry marks a first for the Malayalam edition: she has already competed in a different language version of the Bigg Boss franchise. Born on September 4, 1996, in Rajasthan, she began her modelling career at the young age of 14. Her mother hails from Alappuzha, Kerala, connecting her to both North and South India, making her participation in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 a perfect homecoming.

Her national exposure expanded when she was featured in the 2011 Kingfisher Calendar and represented India at the Ford Models Supermodel of the World contest held in Turkey. The versatile personality has walked international runways including Paris, London, and Milan Fashion Weeks, establishing herself as a global fashion icon.

From Bollywood to Reality TV Royalty

Gizele entered Bollywood with a bang in 2016, playing the role of ‘Meri Lee’ in the adult comedy Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3. She followed this appearance with another bold role as ‘Titli Boobna’ in Mastizaade. Her international collaborations include appearing in rapper Rick Ross’s music video for the song “Bands,” showcasing her global appeal.

She later entered Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss Hindi Season 9 as a wildcard contestant. Though her stay was brief, her bold attitude and unapologetic personality left a lasting impact on the audience.
