Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Mohanlal clarifies food restrictions in the house, says 'We have certain norms to be followed'

Food, the most essential yet most fought-over element in the Bigg Boss Malayalam house, has once again become the center of attention this season. From arguments over dosas and cookies to heated debates about mutton, the kitchen has often turned into a full-blown battlefield. This recurring chaos has left many viewers wondering: why not just provide the contestants with enough food to keep the peace?


The much-asked question was finally addressed by host Mohanlal in the recent weekend episode during a fan interaction segment. A viewer asked why the production team didn’t allow contestants to have all the food that their families brought during the “Family Week” episodes. The host’s response shed light on a side of the show many fans may not have considered.


“We did give them portions from the food brought by their families, but in small quantities,” Mohanlal explained. “We can’t give them all the food in a day. What if it causes stomach issues? If we hand over large amounts, they would store it and use it for days, which could affect their health. So, we have a set of norms on what and how much we can give them, and we follow it for their own good.”



He further emphasized that the intention behind Family Week was not to turn the Bigg Boss house into a “food festival,” but to create a meaningful reunion. “Giving all the love and respect to the food their family members have brought, we have given them portions of it. Moreover, Family Week is about meeting and reconnecting with loved ones, not about relaxing in a resort and enjoying homemade food,” he added.


The Family Week segment, one of the most emotionally charged parts of the show, saw contestants reuniting with their parents, partners, and siblings after weeks of isolation. Along with tears, hugs, and laughter, the families brought homemade delicacies for the housemates, which, unsurprisingly, sparked another round of conflicts among the contestants.


Mohanlal’s clarification has now put the issue in perspective. The show’s strict food policies, he said, are designed not out of restriction but responsibility, ensuring contestants’ health and fairness in the game.
