During the finale, Bigg Boss introduced multiple twists, including tempting cash offers to finalists. Demon Pavan exited the show after accepting Rs 15 lakh to support his family, which reduced the final prize money from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 35 lakh. Despite being offered Rs 20 lakh in a final twist, both Kalyan and Thanuja refused to walk away.
Explaining his decision, Kalyan said, “I come from a humble background. Of course, this amount is huge for me, but I can’t accept this.” Thanuja added, “Taking this suitcase would disappoint my fans. Today, I am here because of them; hence it is not right to accept this.”
Here’s how the grand finale unfolded with stars and surprises
The star-studded finale featured appearances by Roshann Meka, Anaswara Rajan, Meka Srikanth, Naveen Polishetty, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Ravi Teja, Ashika Ranganath and Dimple Hayati. Performances by Mangli and Payal Rajput added to the celebratory mood. Ravi Teja’s surprise entry with a suitcase full of cash became one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
As the season ended, the makers paid tribute to host Nagarjuna with a special montage. Walking out with the finalists, he remarked softly, “Finally going home…” leaving both Kalyan and Thanuja emotional.
After his win, Kalyan thanked the audience, his family and the team for their support. Thanuja said, “I am extremely thankful to everyone for supporting me. It has been an incredible journey.”
