Dhanush Manjunath

Dhanush Manjunath is a long-distance cyclist, endurance achiever and Guinness World Record holder who entered Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13 through the Agnipariksha commoner-selection route. His public profile is built less around entertainment and more around endurance, travel and personal challenge.

Guinness World Records lists Dhanush Manjunath and Hemanth YB as the holders of the record for the longest journey by bicycle in a single country by a team. They cycled 24,000 kilometres across India between July 2021 and March 2022. The journey was undertaken as a personal achievement while also raising awareness about global warming and literacy.

Before Bigg Boss Kannada 13, Dhanush competed through Bigg Boss Kannada Agnipariksha. He spoke during the selection journey about setbacks, repeated attempts and the desire to use new opportunities as a comeback. His endurance background and willingness to take on difficult challenges became a natural part of his Bigg Boss introduction.

Dhanush was one of the Agnipariksha contestants who progressed into the main Season 13 house after the pre-show selection process. His Agnipariksha participation is kept as pre-season history and is not counted as time spent in the main Bigg Boss house.

Season 13 is live, so his nomination record, captaincy results, house days and final placement remain open. His profile should continue to be updated only with confirmed developments from the main competition.
