Who is Gizele Thakral? Meet the Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 star stirring up drama after Salman Khan’s show

Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is back with a bang, and while the show has its usual lineup of contestants, it’s the entry of Gizele Thakral that’s gotten people talking. Making her grand entrance as the 12th contestant, Thakral stepped onto the stage with superstar Mohanlal, instantly setting social media abuzz with excitement—and a fair bit of eyebrow-raising anticipation.

Who is Gizele Thakral?

Originally from Rajasthan, Gizele Thakral started her modeling career at the age of 14. She quickly scooped up titles like Miss Rajasthan, Miss Best Body, and Miss Potential, thanks to her killer looks and that unmistakable confidence. Not one to settle for just pageants, she jumped into reality TV early, featuring in Survivor India in 2012 and the show Welcome – Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki the following year.

But it was Bigg Boss Season 9, hosted by Salman Khan, that really catapulted her into the spotlight. Her brief yet fiery stint on the controversial reality show earned her a reputation—and some serious attention. Post-Bigg Boss, Thakral tried her hand at Bollywood with adult comedies like Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 and Mastizaade, plus a role in Escobar. Let’s just say, she’s not exactly shy about choosing bold projects.

She didn’t stop there. Thakral also went international, collaborating with rapper Rick Ross in a music video filmed at exotic locations, which caused quite the stir. Plus, if you follow fashion weeks, you might’ve spotted her strutting the runways in Paris, London, and Milan.

Though she’s kept a low profile lately, Thakral remains a social media force with over 1.4 million Instagram followers, dazzling them with travel snaps and fierce fashion looks. With her unmistakable flair and attitude, expect her Bigg Boss Malayalam journey to be anything but boring.
