Raiza Wilson

Raiza completed her schooling at Nazareth Convent Girls High School and then at JSS International School in Ooty, before moving on to college in Bangalore. During her studies, she also worked as the PR, sales and marketing manager of Hint Lounge and Club in Bangalore. After gaining an interest in modelling, Raiza competed for the Miss India South 2011 title in late 2010, and was awarded the HICC Femina Miss South Beautiful Smile award during the competition. She subsequently continued her career as a model and worked predominantly in Bangalore and Hyderabad for more than 400 brands including Taj Hotel, Amul, Nalli Silks, and GRT Jewellers amongst others.

Raiza appeared in her first acting role through Soundarya Rajinikanth's Tamil film Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (2017), where she portrayed the personal assistant of the businesswoman played by Kajol.

In mid 2017, Raiza received widespread media attention in Tamil Nadu after signing on to appear in the Tamil reality TV show, Bigg Boss, hosted by Kamal Haasan. She was evicted from the show after 63 days and in the process became the longest-lasting original female contestant. Post-exit, Raiza stated that she felt "fortunate to become the part of the show" and "would cherish the memory forever".
