Bigg Boss Malayalam 4: From educating inmates about LGBTQIA+ to his hilarious imitation of Lakshmi Priya: Times when Riyas has won hearts in the BB house

Social media influencer Riyas Salim entered Bigg Boss Malayalam 4 as a wildcard contestant. Even though the contestant earned flak for his performance in the house initially, he is being hailed as one of the best in the lot by BB fans lately. From his attitude to his exceptional performance, Riyas became a sensation almost overnight. Here is a look at his journey so far.

The social media influencer entered Bigg Boss Malayalam 4 on the 42nd day as a wild card contestant. Even before his entry, he created a buzz in the house by calling Lakshmi Priya as an 'easy target'.

Soon after his entry into Bigg Boss, Riyas was seen having a huge argument with Robin Radhakrishnan. Riyas had ugly fights with Robin for his alleged ‘toxic’ behaviour.

Riyas also criticized Robin, Blesslee, and Dilsha for playing a 'love triangle' in the house. He criticised that the contestants ‘don't have any existence on their own’ and hence they are ‘following a love track’ to ‘survive’ in the game.

During a task, Robin reportedly hit Riyas on the face and was sent to the secret room later for the offense. Riyas was adamant that Robin should be sent out of the house for violating the rule.

Riyas has won laurels for educating his co-contestants about LGBTQIA+ inside the house. During the call center task, Riyas was seen explaining every term to the inmates and the same video is still doing the rounds on social media. He also raised his voice against the alleged ‘homophobic’ comments on some of the inmates too.

Riyas was seen having huge arguments with inmate Lakshmi Priya. The duo was seen engaging in verbal spats over their difference of opinion and performance in the house.

However, Riyas left everyone in splits with his hilarious imitation of Lakshmi Priya. In the 'Aalmarattam' task, he portrayed Lakshmi's character. From Lakshmi's signature mannerisms to postures, Riyas just nailed it.
