On Sunday, the four-month journey of Bigg Boss 15 came to an end with Tejasswi Prakash taking home the trophy. The television actor, who’s already bagged Naagin 6 as the lead, took home a cash prize of Rs 40 lakh along with the trophy. Pratik Sehajpal and Tejasswi’s boyfriend Karan Kundrra were declared as the first and second runners-up, respectively.
As they went back home, Karan had a surprise for his ladylove. He had the room decked up with balloons to welcome the winner. Her trophy was also placed on a stand with the placard reading ‘Bigg Boss Winner’. Tejasswi could be heard expressing her excitement in the video. Later, he also posted a selfie of them as he saw her off in the car.
Karan also took to Twitter to thank his fans who supported him in his journey. Reflecting on his loss, he said he will ‘take time to recover’ but assured that he will never disappoint his fans again.
“A big big biggggg thank you to each and everyone of you for all the love and support and kindness that you showered on me throughout my journey.. sorry for the late tweet.. Lost faith in a lot of things today but hopefully not in myself.. you’ve stood by me like a rock,” he tweeted. In another post, he added, “I might take time to recover from what happened but I assure you I will.. and I promise you I will not disappoint you.. never again.. thank you my family!!! .”
