From a commoner to the winner of BiggBoss Telugu 9, this journey was shaped by belief, criticism, love, pressure, and resilience. Every voice mattered. Every moment counted. Thank you for making this win larger than one person. History is made,” read the caption on his official Instagram page, which is being handled by his team.
The Bigg Boss Telugu grand finale
The grand finale featured appearances from actor Ravi Teja and a stage performance by Payal Rajput. In a dramatic twist, Ravi Teja offered the finalists a cash amount of ₹7.5 lakh. He increased it to ₹10 lakh, but even then, the housemates rejected both offers. He then asked them to discuss the decision with their parents. Later, it was increased to ₹15 lakh, and Demon Pavan accepted the offer, exiting the house. This meant Kalyan Padala and Thanuja Puttaswamy were the top two finalists.
