Thenum Vayambum Star Cast
Thenum Vayambum brought together several actors who were already familiar to Malayalam television audiences.
Vivek Gopan, known for playing Suraj in Parasparam, appeared in an important role in the Surya TV serial.
Sreelaya played the female lead. The actress was already popular among television viewers through serials such as Bhagyadevatha and Moonumani.
Actor Riza Bava was another prominent member of the cast, alongside Sruthi Lakshmi, Jaseela Parveen, Thara Kalyan, Anila Sreekumar and others.
Sreelaya – From Thenum Vayambum to Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8
Thenum Vayambum has an interesting connection with the latest season of Bigg Boss Malayalam, with its lead actress Sreelaya now participating in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8.
Sreelaya, whose name is Laya Jose, has appeared in several Malayalam television serials during her career. Her television works include Krishna Kripa Sagaram, Swaram, Swarnamayooram, Kanmani, Bhagyadevatha, Moonnumani, Thenum Vayambum and Priyapettaval.
Her move from scripted television to the Mohanlal-hosted reality show gives viewers an opportunity to follow the actress in a completely different television format.
Jaseela Parveen – Thenum Vayambum Actress in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8
Jaseela Parveen is another Thenum Vayambum cast member who entered Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8.
In fact, Thenum Vayambum marked Jaseela Parveen’s acting debut, where she played the character Sreya Chacko.
Jaseela later established herself through Malayalam television serials including Alliyambal, Sumangali Bhava, Seetha, Daya and Anuraga Ganam Pole. She became particularly familiar for portraying negative and grey-shaded characters.
Before acting, Jaseela was also associated with media as an RJ and anchor, while her profile additionally includes modelling and fitness.
With Sreelaya and Jaseela Parveen both entering Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8, this older Surya TV serial now connects two of its actresses with the latest season of the popular reality show.

They are competing in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 alongside RJ Anjali, Rahul Easwar, Gayathri Suresh, Mridula Vijay, Sreelakshmi Arackal, Mohammed Azif, Gautham G Sasi and other contestants, as well as four commoners selected through Agnipareeksha.
