Quick facts

Biography

Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13 is the current season of the Kannada-language reality series, hosted by Kiccha Sudeep and telecast on Colors Kannada with streaming on JioHotstar. The season premiered on 6 September 2026 with a flight-themed house design, launching the same day as the Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam editions — the four South Indian hosts even appeared together in a joint promotional crossover ahead of launch.

This season introduced Bigg Boss Agnipariksha, a pre-launch selection show that gave four commoner contestants — Modern Mahakavi Manja, Dhanush, Kiran Shashtry, and Likith Gondi — a route into the main house alongside established actors and TV personalities. Season 13 continues the franchise after Gilli Nata's Season 12 win. This page covers the current housemates, nominations, fan poll, and the official winner list from Season 1 through Season 12.

This fan biography is written as a full profile for Bigg Boss Vote Glitz readers: it collects reported credits, public-season context and what the unscripted house actually tests. It is independent entertainment copy and is not an official broadcaster page. Family details, exact dates of birth and private relationships are included only when widely reported; otherwise they are omitted rather than guessed.

Inside the house the format is the same across languages: daily tasks, kitchen and store-room politics, captaincy, nominations and a weekend episode with the host. A contestant's earlier career matters because it shapes how fans read fights, alliances and evictions. Viewers who arrive from voting pages can use this article as the long-form companion to the live poll.

Career and public work

Avinash Shatamarshan works across theatre, writing, direction and Kannada cinema. Season 13 profiles cite films including Kannadakkagi Ondannu Otti and Dayavittu Gamanisi, which is a different path from soap-lead fame.

He has described himself as someone still searching, and premiere quotes had him calling the house a chance to win at life even if the trophy is uncertain. That self-deprecating, theatre-trained register is useful context for how he may play arguments and tasks.

Viewers should not confuse him with other Avinash names in Indian Bigg Boss seasons. This card is the Kannada Stage-and-film Avinash on the Season 13 roster.
