Gilli is coming to the Mallathahalli Shivaratri Mahotsava organized every year in grand style by MLA Munirathna. Heard from a reliable source about the fee he is receiving to attend 😅 he is truly minting money and Im so happy for him.

Some people enter the Bigg Boss house. Some people use the Bigg Boss house as a doorway into every home in Karnataka. Gilli belongs to the second category. What a phenomenon.
And of course, there’s the Mandya factor. That earthy charm, the unapologetic attitude, the raw honesty that people from Mandya carry like a badge.
I still remember the first time I interviewed him. It was before he stepped into the Bigg Boss house. There was excitement, but also visible apprehension. He knew the platform was big. He knew it could change his life. That interview had more questions than answers.
And then came the second one.
After the win. After the madness. After the entire state had watched him laugh, fight, cry, and rise. This time, there were no apprehensions. Just clarity, confidence, and a quiet pride. The same man, but with the weight of people’s love behind him.
Two interviews. One before the storm. One after the victory.
Between those two conversations lies the journey of a man who didn’t just participate in Bigg Boss, but carried Mandya’s spirit into the house and returned as a hero for all of Karnataka.
