Dsena said he is not disheartened by losing the trophy to Mehra as he won many hearts during his stint on the show that requires contestants to be holed up in a special house for three months without much contact from the world outside.
Mumbai: Popular television actor Karan Veer Mehra beat rival Vivian Dsena to lift the “Big Boss 18” trophy here at a ceremony, hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
Show host Salman presented the trophy and the prize money of Rs 50 lakh to Mehra on late Sunday night.
Mehra, known for his roles in shows such as “Shanno Ki Shaadi”, “Virrudh”, “Amrit Manthan”, “TV Biwi Aur Main” and “Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 14”, credited his family and fans for supporting him.
“I would like to give credit to a lot of people starting from my family — my mom, my sister, her children, my-brother-in-law and my dad. It is my dad’s birthday today. And the Big Boss audience who watched the show and supported me,” Mehra told PTI after his win.
Asked how he plans to spend the winning amount, the actor said, “I will support the education of the kids of my staff.”
