**MUMBAI, INDIA –** Karanveer Mehra emerged victorious in the grand finale of Bigg Boss 18 on Sunday night, concluding a 105-day journey in the reality TV house. The win came after a tense competition with Vivian Dsena, who was named the first runner-up, and Rajat Dalal, who secured the second runner-up spot. Other finalists included Eisha Singh, Avinash Mishra, and Chum Darang. Shilpa Shirodkar, a strong contender, was eliminated just four days before the finale.
