Ranjini Haridas

Ranjini Haridas was one of Malayalam television's most recognisable presenters by the time Bigg Boss Malayalam launched. Her long association with Asianet's Star Singer made her especially familiar to family audiences.

Presenting remained the centre of her career, though acting, modelling and public-event hosting also formed part of her work. Her confident on-screen style meant she entered Bigg Boss with a public personality viewers already knew well.

Ranjini joined Season 1 as an original contestant and stayed in the house for 63 days. She also served as House Captain during the season before her eventual eviction.

Years later, she returned to the Bigg Boss Malayalam universe as part of the jury for the Agnipareeksha selection programme, linking her original Season 1 appearance with a later generation of contestants.
