Thandav Ram

Thandav Ram is a Kannada television and film actor from Hassan whose background also includes theatre, bodybuilding, wrestling and production. He developed an interest in acting through the stage and trained at Rangayana in Mysuru.

His television journey includes work in Krishna Rukmini, Bala Aparoopa Nam Jodi and especially Jodi Hakki, where his role as Ramanna helped make him a familiar face among Kannada serial audiences.

Thandav has also appeared in Kannada films including Mareyelaare, Ondh Kathe Hella and Abbabba. Outside acting, he has pursued bodybuilding, participated in competitions and moved into film production, giving him a professional identity that extends beyond serial acting.

He entered Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13 on 6 September 2026 as a direct contestant. His mix of theatre discipline, physical training and long-form television experience gives him a different background from both the Agnipariksha commoners and the younger digital-media entrants.

The season is live, so his current nominations, captaincy results, house days and final placement remain unset until officially established.
