The big announcement was made right on the show, and fans instantly began celebrating his victory across social media. But did you know that Gaurav Khanna is not the first one to win such a big amount? The trend of ‘Bigg Boss' offering huge payouts has been around for quite a while. Every year, fans wait to know who is winning and how much they are taking home.
'Bigg Boss 18’ winner Karan Veer Mehra took home fifty lakh rupees. His season was packed with drama and memorable moments, and fans were thrilled to see him bag the jackpot.
After the show, Karan’s life changed. Speaking about the same, he had told Hindustan Times, “Life has changed a lot, to be honest. After 'Bigg Boss 18', I have an amazing fan-mily. I have got so much love and attention. The appreciation is too much. My fan-mily say it was like a personal win for them, and when they meet me, their energy makes me feel like part of their family. I really appreciate that”.
Before him, Munawar Faruqui charmed audiences in ‘Bigg Boss 17’ and walked out with fifty lakh rupees, becoming a household name thanks to his witty gameplay and emotional journey inside the house.
But the prize money isn’t always the same every season. Rubina Dilaik, who won 'Bigg Boss 14', took home thirty-six lakh rupees. Her prize money was reduced from the original ₹50 lakh as her co-contestant, Rakhi Sawant, opted to leave the race for the trophy with ₹14 lakh.
Everyone’s favourite ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant Sidharth Shukla took home the fifty-lakh prize but also created history with how widely loved he became after the show. His untimely demise in 2021 left fans heartbroken.
Rahul Roy, best known for his role in the 90s hit 'Aashiqui', beat Carol Gracias to win the first-ever season of 'Bigg Boss' in 2007. Along with the trophy, he took home ₹1 crore.
