The search for the next Marathi television icon concluded on a high note as Tanvi Kolte was officially crowned the winner of Bigg Boss Marathi 6 on Sunday, April 19, 2026.
In a grand finale hosted by Riteish Deshmukh, Tanvi edged out veteran actor Raqesh Bapat to lift the prestigious trophy. Along with the title, she took home a cash prize of ₹15 lakh, an electric scooter, and a diamond jewelry voucher worth ₹10 lakh. An emotional Tanvi remarked that the show had turned her into a “brand” and fulfilled her lifelong dream of being recognized as a heroine.
The victory was immediately followed by a viral social media moment featuring the “Queen of Entertainment,” Rakhi Sawant. In a celebratory video, Rakhi claimed she knew from Day 1 that Tanvi would win, jokingly attributing her prediction to a “mole on her tongue.” Rakhi didn’t stop at local celebrations; she publicly urged Salman Khan to consider Tanvi for the upcoming season of Bigg Boss Hindi, signaling that the Marathi winner is ready for the national stage.
While the celebrations were in full swing, the finale was not without controversy. Viewers took to social media to slam Colors Marathi for what many described as “horrible editing” and an abrupt ending. Fans expressed disappointment over the lack of a traditional, drawn-out “trophy moment,” with many questioning the production quality of the final broadcast. Despite the technical backlash, the rankings remained firm: Raqesh Bapat finished as the graceful runner-up, followed by Vishal Kotian, Anushri Mane, and Deepali Sayyed.
