Oneal Sabu (Bigg Boss Malayalam 7) Biography

Oneal Sabu is a Kochi-based culinary curator, storyteller and former maritime lawyer who built a public profile as a food blogger, culinary anthropologist,

Early life and background

Oneal Sabu was born on 26 August 1995 in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, and grew up there until returning to his ancestral home in Fort Kochi, Kerala after completing his schooling through the 10th grade. He is Indian by nationality and follows Christianity. Known locally by the nickname FC Boy, Oneal lists hobbies that include cooking, travelling and photography.

He completed formal legal education at the National University of Advanced Legal Studies in Kochi, earning a combined Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Legislative Law. He then pursued a Master of Laws in Maritime Law at the University of Southampton. Later, he completed a diploma in Human Resources Management from Alison Higher Learning Institute.

Career

Oneal began his professional life as a lawyer, practising in areas of maritime affairs and trade law. He worked across several law firms in that field from 2006 until 2017. After a decade in legal practice, he chose to follow his interest in food, culture and storytelling and transitioned into the culinary and creative arenas.

He established himself as a food curator and self-described culinary anthropologist. Initially writing about dishes and regional food traditions, he moved into video content and food vlogging, with storytelling and cultural context forming a central part of his work. Oneal also opened a restaurant in Kochi at one point; the venture was short-lived and he later moved into freelance chefing, collaborating with established restaurants.

In addition to hands-on cooking, Oneal co-founded an online food community called Eat Kochi Eat, which aims to connect food lovers and creators across Kerala. He has worked with chefs, mixologists, restaurateurs and farmers to research and promote the culinary heritage of Cochin, especially its links to the maritime spice trade. That research and public-facing work led him to design heritage-focused events and experiences, such as Colonial Crawlies (a midnight walking tour through Fort Kochi’s colonial past), Community Mesa (a shared community dining initiative) and Phantasma (a hybrid storytelling event combining food, music and history).

Oneal has also authored a book titled Soul Fried Monologues, which collects food-related stories and memories. His public profile spans roles as chef, influencer, historian, anthropologist and cultural activist for regional cuisine.

Public profile

Physically, Oneal is listed at approximately 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm) with black hair and black eyes. He is unmarried. His public social presence includes platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Oneal’s culinary focus emphasizes the lesser-known dishes and historical foodways of Cochin. That emphasis underpins his events and collaborations and shapes the content he creates for his blog and vlogs. He has described himself as a self-taught culinary anthropologist and has made preservation and interpretation of culinary heritage a recurring theme in his work.

Latest updates

In August 2025 Oneal Sabu entered the public spotlight as a contestant on Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, becoming the first food blogger and culinary researcher to participate in that season of the show hosted by Mohanlal. His participation brought his culinary and cultural work to a wider television audience.
