Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 contestant Gizele Thakral: Here's everything about the model, Bollywood actress, and BB Hindi wildcard entrant

Glamour, grit, and global flair—Gizele Thakral brings it all to the Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 house. A familiar face in the fashion and entertainment world, Gizele made waves as a wild-card entrant on Bigg Boss Hindi Season 9, and now she's back to stir up the drama in the Malayalam edition. With Kerala roots and a career that’s spanned continents, her entry has certainly turned heads—and raised eyebrows.

2/6

Yes, She Is a Malayali


The first question on everyone's mind: What’s a Hindi-speaking model doing on a Malayalam reality show? Turns out, Gizele has strong ties to the state—her mother is a Malayali from Alappuzha. So, while her public persona may be more Bollywood than Mollywood, her roots run straight to Kerala.

The Model Life

Gizele began her modelling career at just 14 and quickly shot to fame. She was crowned Miss Rajasthan, and while still in Class 11, she made it to the Top 5 of the popular model hunt. Along the way, she also picked up titles like Miss Best Body and Miss Potential. From there, it was a smooth runway to success, gracing the covers of magazines, walking in high-profile fashion shows, and representing both Indian and international brands.

4/6

No Stranger to Reality TV

This isn’t Gizele’s first brush with reality television. In 2012, she competed on Survivor India, though an injury forced an early exit. She followed that up in 2013 with an appearance on the cooking-based show Welcome – Baazi Mehmaan Nawazi Ki. In 2015, she entered the Bigg Boss 9 house (Hindi version) as a wild-card contestant, adding spice to the season before being evicted after a brief stint.

5/6

Bollywood Calling

Gizele made her Bollywood debut in 2016 with the adult comedy Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3, where she played the role of Meri Lee. That same year, she took on the character of Titli Boobna in Mastizaade. In 2019, she appeared in The Great Indian Casino, continuing her journey in cinema with bold and glamorous roles that have become her signature on-screen persona.

6/6

A New Chapter: Entrepreneur

Recently, Gizele stepped into the world of business by launching her own fashion and tech venture in Dubai. With a strong social media presence and over a million followers, she blends glamour with business acumen, making her not just a celebrity but a brand in her own right.
