Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 brings four commoner contestants selected through Agnipareeksha into the house alongside celebrities and personalities from television, cinema, radio, social media and other fields. Eldho George, Rakesh Jacob, Loletta Loryne Rodrigues and Shijin S are the four commoners joining the competition.
The four contestants come from very different professional backgrounds — a teacher and politician, a carpenter, a student and a dance coach. They will compete in the same Bigg Boss house alongside established names including RJ Anjali, Rahul Easwar, Gayathri Suresh, Mridula Vijay and other Season 8 contestants.
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 Commoner Contestants
| Contestant | Profession | Selection |
|---|---|---|
| Eldho George | Teacher, Politician | Selected through Agnipareeksha |
| Rakesh Jacob | Carpenter | Selected through Agnipareeksha |
| Loletta Loryne Rodrigues | Student | Selected through Agnipareeksha |
| Shijin S | Dance Coach | Selected through Agnipareeksha |
Eldho George – Teacher and Politician
Eldho George enters Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 as one of the four commoner contestants selected through Agnipareeksha.
A teacher and politician, Eldho brings a background different from many of the entertainment personalities participating in Season 8. His selection gives him the opportunity to compete directly with the celebrity contestants inside the Bigg Boss house.
Rakesh Jacob – Carpenter
Rakesh Jacob, a carpenter, is another commoner selected through the Agnipareeksha process.
His entry represents the central idea behind the commoner selection — providing people outside the conventional entertainment and media industries an opportunity to become Bigg Boss contestants.
Rakesh will now participate in the same tasks, nominations and house activities as the other Season 8 contestants.
Loletta Loryne Rodrigues – Student
Loletta Loryne Rodrigues enters the Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 house as a student.
She earned her place among the Season 8 contestants through Agnipareeksha and is one of the four commoners selected for the main Bigg Boss competition.
Her transition from the commoner selection phase to the main house puts her alongside several established personalities from Malayalam television and digital media.
Shijin S – Dance Coach
Shijin S, a dance coach, completes the group of four commoner contestants entering Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8.
Selected through Agnipareeksha, Shijin now moves into the main competition and will face the same challenges as the celebrity contestants.
His professional background in dance coaching also gives the four-member commoner lineup another distinct profile.
Commoners Compete Alongside RJ Anjali, Rahul Easwar and Other Celebrities
The four Agnipareeksha selections will not compete in a separate category inside the house. Eldho George, Rakesh Jacob, Loletta Loryne Rodrigues and Shijin S join the other Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 contestants in the main competition.
Among the prominent names is RJ Anjali, the radio jockey, media personality and actress whose long career includes more than a decade in FM radio broadcasting.
Rahul Easwar, a public policy commentator, philosophy author, advocate and activist, also enters Season 8. He brings extensive television experience and is already familiar with reality television as the winner of the first season of Malayalee House.
The Season 8 lineup also includes Gayathri Suresh, Sreeraj K S, Mridula Vijay, Sreelakshmi Arackal, Vignesh Venu (Wikky Thug), Rini Ann George, Noby Binu, RJ Aishwarya, Sreelaya, Sumesh Chandran, Neha Fathima, Dhanya (Fight Master Kaali), Gautham G Sasi, Mohammed Azif and Jaseela Parveen.
With the addition of the four Agnipareeksha selections, the house combines commoners with celebrities and personalities from television, cinema, radio, social media, comedy and other professional backgrounds.
From Agnipareeksha to Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8
Agnipareeksha provided the route through which these four commoners earned their places in the main Season 8 competition.
For Eldho George, Rakesh Jacob, Loletta Loryne Rodrigues and Shijin S, the next stage is very different. They will now live alongside established public personalities, participate in Bigg Boss tasks and face the nomination and elimination process as regular housemates.
Their commoner backgrounds could also make their journeys particularly interesting as they adjust to living and competing with contestants already accustomed to television cameras and public attention.
