Akash Sabu (Bigg Boss Malayalam 7) Biography

Akash Sabu, known online as Sabuman, is a food and lifestyle content creator from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. He rose to recognition through his food vlogs

Early life and background

Akash Sabu hails from Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. He attended St. Thomas Central School and The School of Good Shepherd in his hometown, and went on to study at Manipal University in Manipal, Karnataka, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media. He was born on 22 November and follows the Hindu faith.

Family and personal details

Akash is the son of Janardhanan Sabu and Sheeba Sabu and has a younger sister named Anjana Sabu. He is unmarried. Physically, he stands about 5 feet 10 inches tall (approximately 178 cm), weighs around 65 kg (143 lbs), and has black hair and black eyes. He describes his food habit as non-vegetarian and lists dancing and travelling among his hobbies. He is known to be an animal lover, with a particular fondness for dogs.

Career

Akash built his public profile as a food and lifestyle vlogger under the nickname Sabuman. His early professional experience included internships at McCann Worldgroup in Bangalore beginning 5 December 2016, and at Stark Communications in Thiruvananthapuram from 1 June 2017 to 1 July 2017. He later worked with Zomato in Thiruvananthapuram as a Sales and Marketing Manager starting 17 September 2018.

In 2018, Akash and friends Rohit, Arjun, Vinay, and Govind started an Instagram page called High on Food. The account became active in 2020 and focuses on reviewing restaurants, street food, and home-made dishes from around Kerala. Akash intentionally uses English narration in his videos to make Kerala’s food culture more accessible to non-Malayali viewers and tourists. His content highlights local specialties such as soft coin parottas with chicken fry, kebabs, Neapolitan pizzas, and festive desserts, and has featured specific items like the Indian Chicken Kebab from Supreme All Spices in Kuravankonam, Neapolitan pizzas by Abraham Mathew in Irinjalakuda, and Rasmalai tres leches cakes from Totally Baked in Thiruvananthapuram.

In April 2023 he launched a YouTube channel called Sabuman, where he expanded into food experiments, challenges, lifestyle videos, and comedy sketches. Alongside food content, he also shares videos related to fitness and entertainment. He has done some local modelling for fashion shows as well.

Public profile

Akash became known for a signature greeting at the start of his videos—"Hello foodies"—which has become recognizable among his followers. As of 8 September 2025, the High on Food Instagram page had grown to more than 34,000 followers, and his YouTube channel Sabuman had around 1,600 subscribers. He uses Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to distribute his work and engage with audiences.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7

In 2025 Akash entered Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 as a wildcard contestant. He introduced himself on the show as a content creator and said he was known for his smile, dance moves, and entertainment-focused material. Producers and viewers expected his background in digital content to influence the dynamics inside the Bigg Boss house. That season included distinctive challenges and conditions—among them a Panippura room with strict limits on clothes and makeup that could only be accessed after winning tasks. At one point the show returned clothing and makeup items to contestants after those items had been locked away for several weeks.

Latest updates

Akash has expressed plans to broaden his content by exploring foods from other Indian regions and international cuisines, and to promote emerging home chefs and bakers in addition to established restaurants. He continues to produce videos that combine food discovery with lifestyle and entertainment elements.
