Long before Gilli was a household name and on the frontrunner list for the Bigg Boss Kannada trophy, he was a young talent on the comedy show's stage. On this very platform, Judge Jaggesh boldly made an assumption which is now spreading across social media.
The 'Bodyguard' Prediction
As a result, on one of the episodes of "Comedy Kiladigalu", Jaggesh was floored by Gilli’s unique "property comedy" and impeccable timing. Jaggesh had mentioned deeply that they were impressed with the young man’s dedication:
"By this time next year, this boy will grow to such a height that he will need someone to hold an umbrella for him and bodyguards to walk alongside him."
Back then, it seemed like a generous compliment from a high-ranking actor. But if one reflects on Gilli’s current status, then fans can start calling it a “divine blessing” that has in fact materialized.
From 1 Lakh to 1.3 Million: The Gilli Wave
Gilli's growth is simply astounding. When he entered the Bigg Boss house, he had just 1 lakh followers on Instagram. Within just a few months, that number has rocketed to over 1.3 million (13 lakh). Gilli isn’t able to walk out into the open space without a security detail now. The massive crowds flocking to view him on public occasions made Jaggesh’s “bodyguard” remark seem a reality. His popularity isn't simply for the general population, however: Karunada Chakravarthy Shivarajkumar even hails Gilli’s talent, which has definitely added more weight in establishing his rise to the top.
The Power of Sincere Blessings
Jaggesh is a man of passion, integrity knows his way around and is deeply believed in. According to media sources however, Jaggesh favours others' character and hard work from the inside out by way of blessing them heartily. Gilli’s fans think that he’s due in part a measure of what they call his hard work and also the "Aradhane" they believe a lucky "wonderful blessing" that came so freely from a person like Jaggesh. With the Bigg Boss final approaching, the viral clip serves as a boost to the “Gilli for the Win” campaign: their supporters are adamant that his fate was script long before he’d even opened a door.
