Who is Shijin S?
Shijin S is a dancer, dance coach and online creator from Kerala. He was already making dance videos and teaching before appearing on television. His wider public recognition came through Bigg Boss Agnipareeksha, the selection show for ordinary contestants hoping to enter Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8.
He qualified through the selection rounds and joined the main show when it premiered on 6 September 2026. The season is hosted by actor Mohanlal.
Shijin is known for a relatively reserved manner and for taking part in demanding tasks. During the selection show, he received criticism from other contestants and judges. His later performances helped him qualify for the main house.

How Shijin S entered Bigg Boss through Agnipareeksha
Agnipareeksha was a selection competition introduced for Bigg Boss Malayalam 8. Thousands applied and 40 commoners were shortlisted. Following several rounds, 12 reached the final public voting stage. Four contestants, including Shijin, were chosen for the main house.
Shijin did not have an easy path. During one task, he struggled to explain the contents of boxes to other contestants and was criticized by the judges. He later improved his performances. Coverage of the finale reported that he won multiple tasks.
On 2 November 2026, former Bigg Boss winner Akhil Marar described an earlier task in which Shijin challenged and defeated him. He said that the encounter made him think Shijin could be a strong contestant.

Shijin S parents, sister and family background
Shijin’s family became part of the public discussion during Bigg Boss Malayalam 8. On 1 November 2026, The Times of India reported that his mother and sister appeared in a social media video to respond to allegations about his finances and promotional support.
His sister said the family had not hired a paid PR team. She also said the family had pawned their mother’s jewellery to help meet expenses around his participation. These are family statements reported by the publication, not independent audits of his assets or income.

Public allegations and responses during Bigg Boss
Like several contestants, Shijin faced criticism during the programme. Some housemates questioned his gameplay and whether public sympathy influenced his support. His family rejected claims that he had spent large amounts on public relations.
Another disagreement concerned a remark that Shijin was alleged to have made about a housemate. In the weekend discussion, host Mohanlal reportedly said the production team had reviewed footage but could not confirm the exact words being alleged. Shijin and other contestants discussed the dispute. The allegation should not be stated as proven.
Former contestants also offered different views. Firoz Khan said he supported Shijin’s style of play, while other viewers and commentators criticized him. These are opinions, not verified measures of his character.
