Mastani Salim

Mastani Salim, also known as Anwara Sulthana, was already familiar to Malayalam digital audiences before Bigg Boss through interviews and entertainment-focused online content. She has also worked as an event emcee, giving her experience both in front of a camera and on a live stage.

Her interview work brought her into conversations with people from Malayalam cinema and entertainment, including well-known film personalities. That background made interviewing and spontaneous conversation a central part of her public identity before she entered reality television.

Mastani joined Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 during the wildcard phase with four other new contestants. She spent a little over two weeks in the house before her eviction, making the programme one of her first major appearances before a broad television audience.
