Gautham Krishna (born 13 April 1996 in Hyderabad, Telangana) is a multi-talented Indian professional who combines careers as an actor, writer, film director, and practising medical doctor. He pursued his MBBS degree from Sharda University (graduating in 2018) and later completed an MBA in 2021, while also developing a parallel passion for cinema and storytelling. He made his debut as actor, writer, and director simultaneously with the Telugu film Aakasa Veedullo (2022), showcasing his creative versatility. Though his film career was in its early stages, his entry into Bigg Boss Telugu Season 7 in 2023 dramatically raised his public profile. His calm, measured personality and intellectual grounding set him apart inside the house, and he earned widespread admiration for his integrity and thoughtfulness. He was evicted in Week 13 after spending 90 days in the house.
