The grand finale of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, hosted by superstar Mohanlal, concluded on Sunday, November 9, 2025, with Malayalam celebrity Anumol being crowned the winner after an intense 99-day contest. Anumol emerged victorious amid close competition from other finalists Aneesh, Akbar, Nevin, and Shanavas, captivating audiences with her resilience and strategic gameplay throughout the season. Other favourites Adila and Noora were evicted earlier.

Anumol, a Malayalam TV actress from Thiruvananthapuram, was widely regarded as one of the most active and dynamic contestants in the house. Despite facing considerable challenges, including height discrimination and targeted controversies, she maintained a strong and determined presence. Her journey was marked by participation in demanding tasks and engaging debates, winning significant support from fans as a “survivor” of the show’s multiple twists and turns.

However, the season was not without its controversies. Anumol’s win sparked intense discussions about the influence of professional public relations (PR) campaigns outside the house. Allegations surfaced that she employed a high-profile PR team to manage her image and rally audience support, including coordinating strategies against rival contestants – which was visible on the social media posts. These accusations generated polarised opinions among viewers, with some lauding her savvy, while others questioned the fairness of external influences in a reality-based competition.

Social media buzzed with debates and fan wars, often revolving around the extent to which Anumol’s win was orchestrated versus earned purely on-screen merit. One notable incident involved fellow contestant Adhila accusing Anumol of manipulating PR tactics. The rivalry inside the house, as well as these external controversies, added layers of intrigue to the finale, heightening anticipation and emotions among the audience.

The Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 final event was broadcast live on Asianet and streamed on Jio Hotstar, drawing a huge viewership eager to witness the outcome of this much-discussed season.
