This

presents
Bigg
Boss
powered
by
Dabur
Anmol
came
to
a
close
tonight.
In
an
all
celebrity
season,
the
show
saw
many
popular
faces
entering
the
Bigg
Boss
house
with
their
head
full
of
dreams,
determined
to
fight
for
every
inch
to
win
the
coveted
trophy.
Rising
above
all
odds
and
after
giving
a
stiff
competition
to
other
contestants,
Sidharth
Shukla
emerged
as
the
winner
of
the
show
and
was
conferred
with
the
BB
trophy
and
prize
money
of
50
lakhs.
Asim
Riaz
and
Shehnaaz

were

The
season
concluded
in
a
power-packed
evening
comprising
of
performances
and
acts
by
the
finalists,
former

and
host
Salman
Khan.
Indian
television’s
heartthrob
and
one
of
the
most
eligible
bachelors,
Sidharth
Shukla’s
journey
has
been
a
challenging
one.
He
was
always
been
vocal
about
his
opinion
and
stood
up
for
his
friends
inside
the
house.
His
former
costar
Rashami
Desai
who
he
shared
a
bitter
relationship
with,
did
not
dampen
his
spirit.
Initially,
his
strong
friendship
with
Asim
was
loved
by
the
audience
but
the
happiness
was
short-lived.
Their
never-ending
fights
turned
the
house
into
a
battleground
and
became
the
biggest
highlight
of
the
season.
But
while
Sidharth
fought
like
a
warrior,
he
loved
fiercely
too.
His
love-hate
relationship
with
Shehnaaz
evoked
many
emotions.
Irrespective
of
their
share
of
ups
and
downs,
'Sidnaaz’
became
the
talk
of
the
town
and
a
trend
on
social
media.
Known
to
charm
women,
he
was
seen
sharing
a
warm
relationship
with
Devoleena
Bhattacherjee,
Madhurima
Tuli
and
even
Rashami
towards
the
end
of
the
show.
The
audience
also
got
to
see
him
sharing
fun
moments
with
Paras
and
Mahira
and
often
caught
in
a
crossfire
between
Shehnaaz
and
Mahira.
Even
after
facing
illness,
he
did
not
give
up
and
gave
a
tough
fight
in
every
sense.
Like
a
hero,
Sidharth
definitely
stood
out
in
the
game
and
made
for
a
deserving
winner.

“This
season
of
Bigg
Boss
was
a
blockbuster
in
true
sense!
Along
with
being
the
most-watched
show
on
Indian
television
and
the
most
talked
about
on
social
media,
it
has
also
successfully
set
a
new
benchmark
in
brand
partnerships.
What
made
this
year
truly
special
and
led
to
its
extension
was
the
support
of
millions
across
the
nation
in
the
journey
of
each
contestant.
Keeping
up
the
momentum,
we
are
ready
with
another
exciting
season
of
television’s
biggest
stunt-based
reality
show,
Khatron
Ke
Khiladi,
with
Rohit
Shetty
as
the
host.
As
we
take
the
difficulty
level
of
stunts
a
notch
higher
this
season,
we
hope
the
audience
will
shower
the
same
love
and
support
to
our
khiladis.”
Speaking
about
the
Grand
Finale,
Manisha
Sharma,
Chief
Content
Officer
–
COLORS,
said,
“From
millions
of
people
talking
about
the
show
on
social
media
to
many
more
tuning
in
to
support
their
favorite
contestants,
this
season
has
truly
been
phenomenal.
The
fast-paced
tedha
concept
worked
brilliantly
for
us
and
opened
doors
for
newer
innovations.
We
also
had
our
many
'firsts’
this
season
and
it
added
to
us
becoming
the
highest-rated
reality
show
on
television.
Throughout
the
season,
we
made
a
conscious
effort
to
surprise
viewers
with
the
most
unexpected
twists
and
the
response
has
been
overwhelming.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
viewers
and
Salman
Khan
for
not
just
hosting
the
show
but
being
the
voice
and
mentor
of
the
contestants.
Sidharth
Shukla
is
a
deserving
winner
and
I
wish
him
best
wishes
for
future
endeavors.”
Sharing
his
happiness,
winner
Sidharth
Shukla
said,
“The
feeling
of
being
declared
as
the
winner
of
Bigg
Boss
is
yet
to
sink
in,
and
I
feel
on
the
top
of
the
world
right
now.
Bigg
Boss
house
has
been
'tedha’
for
all
the
right
reasons
and
has
made
me
self-aware
of
my
surroundings.
I
was
true
to
myself
throughout
the
show
and
gave
my
best
without
having
to
put
on
an
act.
There
were
moments
where
I
got
emotional,
made
core
alliances
and
some
enemies
for
the
competitive
spirit
of
the
show.
It
was
tough
to
be
able
to
stick
around
for
140
days,
as
it
required
a
lot
of
self-endurance,
dedication,
and
perseverance
but
here
I
am
holding
the
trophy
in
my
hand.
As
I
recount
the
moments,
I
must
add
that
this
wouldn’t
have
been
possible
without
the
support
and
never-ending
love
from
my
fans
who
made
this
dream
turn
into
reality.
I
am
taking
back
the
trophy
home,
but
with
it,
are
some
fond
memories
and
lessons
too,
that
I
will
cherish
my
whole
life.”
Abhishek
Rege,
CEO,
Endemol
Shine
India
said,
“This
year’s
Bigg
Boss
has
been
one
of
the
most
successful
and
popular
seasons.
Celebrities'
antics
coupled
with
high
voltage
drama
kept
the
audiences
glued
to
their
TV
sets
for
over
4
months.
It
has
been
an
incredible
journey
and
the
contestants
have
showcased
immense
grit
and
determination
to
carve
out
their
own
path.
As
always,
Salman

has
been
exceptional
in
the
season
and
I
would
like
to
thank
him
for
indomitable
support.
I
would
like
to
congratulate
Sidharth
Shukla
for
winning
the
title
and
wish

all
the
best
for
