January 20, 2025: The grand finale of Bigg Boss 18 took place on Sunday, crowning Karan Veer Mehra as the winner, with Vivian DSena securing the first runner-up position. Rajat Dalal, who finished as the second runner-up, spoke emotionally about his journey on the show and expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support.
Dalal shared, “Thank you (fans) a lot for your support. I will always be grateful to you. I hope I don’t do anything that hurts you or makes you bow your head…” His heartfelt message reflected his appreciation for the love and loyalty his supporters showed throughout the competition.
Dalal entered Bigg Boss 18 with a strong fan base, partly due to his association with popular YouTuber Elvish Yadav. However, his journey was marked by ups and downs, including some controversies. While he initially presented himself as a supporter of women in the house, his aggressive behaviour and frequent clashes with co-contestants often attracted criticism. His emotional breakdown during a visit from his mother revealed a more vulnerable side of him, though some viewers speculated that it might have been a strategy to garner sympathy.
As the finale unfolded, eliminations started with Eisha Singh, followed by Chum Darang. Avinash Mishra secured fourth place, leaving Dalal in third. The evening was also graced by Bollywood stars Aamir Khan, Junaid Khan, and Khushi Kapoor, who were on the show to promote their film Loveyapaa. This marked Aamir Khan’s first appearance on the Bigg Boss stage.
Bigg Boss 18 aired on Colors TV and streamed on JioCinema, keeping viewers hooked with its mix of drama, suspense, and emotions.
