Majiziya Bhanu

Majiziya Bhanu came to Bigg Boss from competitive strength sports. Powerlifting and arm wrestling became the main disciplines in her sporting career after an earlier interest in boxing.

She progressed from domestic competitions to representing India internationally and became known for competing while wearing the hijab. Her achievements helped bring attention to Muslim women participating in strength sports.

Majiziya entered Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 3 as an original contestant. Her athletic background stood apart in a cast that included actors, presenters, models and digital personalities.

She spent 43 days in the house before eviction. Bigg Boss gave mainstream television audiences a closer look at an athlete whose public identity had previously been built mainly through sport and fitness.
