Oneal Sabu

Lawyer and food vlogger • Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 Contestant

Biography

A man who beautifully combines diverse paths like food, law, history, and storytelling. That is Oneal Sabu. In the history of Bigg Boss Malayalam, there has probably never been a contestant from such completely different walks of life.

Oneal Sabu's Instagram ID is FC Boy. FC is an abbreviation for Fort Kochi. He is someone who loves his country so much, can tell its stories and mythology to others in beautiful language, and can introduce delicious food. It is said that one can truly appreciate one's own country only when one leaves the confines of one's own country and goes outside. Oneal Sabu's impression of Fort Kochi also came after such a trip.

Sabu spent his childhood in Fujairah, UAE. Sabu came to Fort Kochi, his parents' hometown, after the tenth grade. Sabu began to learn about Fort Kochi through the stories his grandmother told him. The diverse cuisine there also made a great impression on Sabu. Sabu played cricket with new friends at the parade ground and outdoor field and began studying at the National University of Advanced Legal Studies. However, Sabu has said that at that time he did not feel a great connection to Fort Kochi.

He completed his law studies at Southampton University. During a trip to Goa, an elderly relative convinced Sabu of the need to return to his roots. It was then that Oneal Sabu started the Spook Trail sessions (nightly storytelling) where he introduced tourists to his homeland. It became very popular.

Another unique initiative of Oneal Sabu is called Community Table. It is a place where people sit together and eat together and learn about the history and stories behind each dish served. When it comes to Bigg Boss, his ability to speak and cook is a plus. In addition, Oneal Sabu's experience of traveling to many countries and interacting with people will be an asset
