One
of
the
strongest
contestants
of
Bigg
Boss
5
Tamil,
Priyanka
Deshpande
emerged
as
the
first
runner
of
the
show
last
evening.
Her
good
friend
and
scriptwriter
of
her
first
show
Raju
Jeyamohan
bagged
the
coveted
trophy.
Reportedly,
their
vote
difference
was
marginal.
Well,
she
was
highly
praised
for
her
sportsman
spirit
and
the
way
she
expressed
her
joy
over
Raju's
victory
on
the
finale
stage.
Congratulating
for
his
big
win,
she
even
said
that
his
patience
is
her
biggest
take-away
from
the
show.
Amidst
all
the
praises
for
her
sweet
gesture,
what
has
caught
the
attention
of
netizens
is
details
about
her
earnings
from
the
show.
Firstly,
let
us
tell
you
that
Priyanka
Deshpande
was
one
of
the
highest-paid
contestants
of
the
season.
Reportedly,
she
was
being
paid
Rs
2.5
lakh
per
week
for
her
stay
inside
the
house,
which
makes
her
total
remuneration
Rs
37.5
lakh
for
15
weeks.
Notably,
her
remuneration
was
higher
than
the
title
winner
of
the
show.
Raju
Jeyamohan
was
being
paid
Rs
1.5
lakh
per
week.
Actor
Abhinay
Vaddi
was
the
highest-paid
contestant
this
season,
however,
his
Bigg
Boss
journey
ended
in
the
11th
week.
Though
Priyanka's
remuneration
looks
unsatisfactory,
considering
she
is
one
of
the
busiest
hosts
in
Tamil,
she
was
able
to
garner
the
hearts
of
the
audience
with
her
cheerful
nature
inside
the
house,
which
is
what
one
strives
for,
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Post
her
return,
she
will
be
back
hosting
her
shows.
According
to
reports,
she
might
soon
sign
her
film
projects
too.
Well,
in
the
finale,
Pavni
Reddy,
Amir
and
Niroop
Nandakumar
became
the
second,
third
and
fourth
runners
up.
During
the
grand
event,
Kamal
Haasan
also
announced
Bigg
Boss
Ultimate,
the
Tamil
edition's
OTT
version,
which
too
will
be
hosted
by
the
actor.

on
Disney+
Hotstar.
