The fourth season of the popular reality show Bigg Boss Malayalam goes live. The show is hosted by Mohanlal. This is the first season in two years to reach its natural conclusion.
The previous season went on air last year in February. However, the season was cancelled unceremoniously midway owing to the complication induced by the second wave of the Covid infections. The contestants of the Bigg Boss house in Chennai were evicted and later the property was sealed by the local authorities, who also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the showrunners for violating safety guidelines.
When things came under control in August last year, the showrunners picked a winner based on audience’s voting. And the winner was announced at an in-person event. Contestant Manikuttan became the winner of the last season.

The winner of the season will be picked among the six finalists: Riyas Salim, Blesslee, Lakshmi Priya, Sooraj Thelakkad, Dilsha Prasannan and Dhanya Mary Varghese.
"I wondered whether I will survive the 100 days on this show. For many days I couldn't make sense of what I want to do on the show. But, I decided to just be myself. And I had a lot of support," says Dilsha.
Dilsha takes home a trophy and a cash price of Rs 50 lakh.

Mohanlal goes into the house to escort the two finalists, Dilsha and Blesslee to the stage. And Bigg Boss bids a quick goodbye to the finalists. Mohanlal clicks a photo with the finalists before leading them out. The lights of the house go out.
Before announcing the winner of the season, the showrunners increase the suspense with a series of song and dance performances.
Mohanlal gives Riyas "The Game Changer" award.
Riyas Salim is evicted. The top two finalists are Dilsha and Blesslee. "I never saw it has a game show. It is a reality TV show and I have always been true to myself. I spoke my mind always without worrying about people would like it or not," Riyas say when Mohanlal asks him if he sees himself as a "game changer" contestant of the season.
Suraj Venjaramoodu is also there to announce a new talent show, Fastest Family First. He will be hosting the show and it will take the time slot of Bigg Boss Malayalam starting tomorrow.

Now, Jasmine, Aparna and Nimisha take the stage to deliver a dance performance.
"This journey of 100 days on this show is not a child's play. Thanks for everyone who stood by me through this," says Lakshmi Priya. "You showed a range of emotions on the show.
