Aneesh, who made history as the first commoner to become the first runner-up in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, celebrated his birthday on May 20 with an outpouring of love from fans and fellow contestants. In an emotional Instagram post, he expressed gratitude for the unexpected celebration, saying, “Things happened beyond my expectations.” He noted that this was the first time in his memory that his birthday was celebrated so grandly, as his birthday often fell during school and college holidays, and later he rarely observed it.

Aneesh shared that despite mentioning his birthday on the show, he gave no further hints on social media, yet many remembered and sent wishes, surprise gifts, and cakes. He wrote, “I don’t know how to thank you. I don’t even know if I deserve this, but I say from my heart: thank you, thank you very much.” The post drew birthday wishes from RJ Bincy and other Bigg Boss co-stars.
