Bigg
Boss
5
Tamil's
finale
on
Sunday
(January
16)
was
a
gala
affair
for
Raju
Jeyamohan
fans,
as
the
actor
eventually
lifted
the
winner's
trophy
after
surviving
in
the
madhouse
for
105
days.
Priyanka
Deshpande
and
Pavni
Reddy
emerged
as
the
first
and
second
runner-up
respectively.
Amir
and
Niroop
Nandakumar,
on
the
other
hand,
were
declared
the
third
and
fourth
runner-up
respectively.
Best
known
for
his
roles
in
daily
soaps
including
Kalloori
Salai,
Kana
Kaanum
Kalangal,
and
Saravanan
Meenatchi,
Jeyamohan
garnered
hearts
for
his
calm
and
composed
nature
in
the
Tamil
reality
show.
Though
a
few
inmates
named
it
his
'strategy'
and
even
nominated
him
on
that
basis,
he
proved
time
and
again
that
he
is
not
faking
it.
During
the
finale
of
Bigg
Boss
5
Tamil,
his
mother
and
wife
too
reiterated
that
he
was
only
being
himself
in
the
show
without
any
screens.
He
was
also
praised
by
the
first
runner
up
Priyanka,
who
stressed
that
Raju's
patience
is
a
take-away
for
her
and
he
truly
deserved
to
be
the
winner.
Well,
talking
about
his
earnings
in
the
show,
the
actor
reportedly
charged
Rs
1.5
lakh
per
week
for
staying
inside
the
madhouse,
which
makes
his
total
remuneration
Rs
22.5
lakh
for
15
weeks.
Along
with
the
coveted
trophy,
he
received
a
whopping
cash
prize
of
Rs
50
lakh,
which
now
makes
his
total
earnings
Rs
72.5
lakh.
Unlike,
other
editions
of
Bigg
Boss,
the
winner's
amount
is
not
deducted
by
any
means
in
BB
Tamil.
In
other
versions,
a
part
of
the
amount
is
given
to
one
of
the
finalists
who
decides
to
walk
out
of
the
show.
In
Tamil,
the
silver
box
task
pops
up
much
before
the
finale.
This
season,
Ciby
Chandran
walked
out
of
the
show
with
a
cash
prize
of
Rs
12
lakh.
