After over 100 days inside the Bigg Boss house, Karthik Mahesh emerged victorious in the grand finale of Bigg Boss Kannada Season 10 on January 28th.
Hosted by Sandalwood superstar Kiccha Sudeep, the show culminated with Mahesh beating fellow finalist Drone Prathap to bag the coveted Bigg Boss trophy.
An emotional Mahesh was handed a cheque for Rs 50 lakhs, a new car, and an electric scooter by Sudeep. “You will now be called Bigg Boss Kannada 10 winner, Karthik Mahesh,” declared the host. Prathap received Rs 10 lakhs and a scooter as first runner-up.
Mahesh gained admiration for his competitive spirit despite numerous conflicts inside the house. His perseverance to defend himself and win tasks ultimately earned him a dedicated fan base that voted him to triumph.
Even Sudeep applauded his game plan and tenacity through the ups and downs. Mahesh, Prathap, and Angeetha Sringeri competed in the finale, with Sringeri getting evicted in third place. She thanked fans for their support.
Interestingly, Mahesh’s equation with Sringeri sparked rumors during the season. But their bond eventually deteriorated as gameplay intensified towards the end.
A visibly emotional Karthik Mahesh thanked his fans and the channel for the opportunity. With his winner’s trophy, he surely overcame all hurdles on one of Kannada television’s most popular shows.
