Soundharya Shetty

Soundarya Shetty, also known as Sandy, is a model, content creator and reality-television personality with roots in Mangaluru and a professional base associated with Mumbai. She entered Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13 with more competitive-reality experience than most of the launch cast.

Soundarya became widely known through MTV Splitsvilla 16: Pyaar Ya Paisa, where she emerged as a finalist. Her time on the dating-reality format gave her experience with cameras, public voting, alliances and confrontational unscripted television before she moved into the Bigg Boss environment.

Her broader public profile includes modelling, dance, social-media content and beauty/reality-show participation. Coverage around Season 13 also noted an earlier Roadies audition, reinforcing that she had been actively pursuing competitive television opportunities before Bigg Boss.

Soundarya entered Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13 on 6 September 2026 as a direct launch contestant. Her stage introduction highlighted her confidence and high-energy personality, while the main show gives Kannada viewers a chance to see her outside the edited structure of Splitsvilla.

Her final Season 13 record is still developing. Nominations, captaincy, eviction status, house days and final placement should be updated only from confirmed events.
