Bigg Boss Malayalam Host Mohanlal Stands Up Against Homophobia

On November 9, 2025, Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, the host of Bigg Boss Malayalam, demonstrated his commitment to inclusivity and compassion during the show's grand finale. Mohanlal welcomed former contestants Noora and Adhila, a lesbian couple, to the stage and asked them about their journey on the show.

Adhila, who had survived in the house for 95 days, was the first to be evicted in the finale week, while Noora, evicted just a day before the grand finale, had lasted nearly 99 days. Before the duo exited the stage, Mohanlal reminded them of his earlier promise and warmly invited them to visit his home, a gesture that visibly touched the emotional Noora and Adhila.

This heartwarming moment came as a response to a controversial incident earlier in the season, where a wildcard contestant, Lakshmi, had made homophobic comments about Noora and Adhila, claiming that "no one would invite them to their homes." Mohanlal, however, did not let the comment go unchecked. In his firm yet composed manner, he reprimanded Lakshmi for her insensitive statement, saying, "Who are you to say that they are not welcome in homes? I would welcome them to my home." His response won widespread praise online for standing up against discrimination and promoting acceptance.

Mohanlal's actions during the Bigg Boss Malayalam season have once again demonstrated his commitment to compassion, respect, and inclusivity, proving that these values are at the forefront of the show under his watch.
