**Mumbai, India** – The grand finale of Bigg Boss 18 is underway, with Salman Khan set to announce the winner from among the final three contestants: Vivian Dsena, Rajat Dalal, and Karanvir Mehra. The winner will receive a cash prize of 50 lakh rupees and the coveted trophy.
The road to the finale saw several eliminations. Isha Singh was the first to be evicted from the top six, followed by Chum Darang from the top five, and Avinash Mishra from the top four.
Leading up to the finale, two press conferences were held. The first featured interviews with the top seven contestants, while the second showcased supporters of the top six finalists, including Elvish Yadav, Vikky Jain, and Shilpa Shinde, who spoke to the media. Daily Bhaskar’s entertainment editor, Ashish Tiwari, participated in both conferences, sparking some controversy after questioning Karanvir Mehra about his relationships.
The show’s history is peppered with controversies, including incidents involving Rakhi Sawant, Swami Om, Dolly Bindra, and Priyanka Jagga, all known for their dramatic behavior and conflicts within the Bigg Boss house.
The production of the show itself is elaborate, featuring over 100 cameras remotely controlled by a team of RCOs (Remote Control Operators). The show, adapted from the Netherlands’ “Big Brother,” first aired in India on November 3, 2006, and has seen several hosts, with Salman Khan becoming a pivotal part of its success since season four. This season also featured special segments with Ravi Kishan and Ekta Kapoor, and a promotional appearance by Akshay Kumar, which was cut short due to scheduling issues. Aamir Khan and his son Junaid Khan also made an appearance to promote their film.
The finale promises a thrilling conclusion to this season of Bigg Boss.
