Bigg Boss Kannada 12 Prize Money: How Much Will The Winner Get This Time?

The much-anticipated grand finale of Bigg Boss Kannada 12 is underway, promising an evening packed with drama, suspense and celebrations.

In a rare and unexpected twist, the makers kept the voting lines open until Sunday morning at 10 am, breaking away from the usual format. Traditionally, one or two contestants are eliminated a day before the finale to narrow down the race. This season, however, the extended voting window ensured that viewers continued to wield decisive power right through the finale weekend, keeping the outcome unpredictable until the very end.

Because of this change, all six finalists - Ghilli Nata, Kavya, Rakshitha, Raghu, Dhanush Gowda and Ashwini Gowda - entered the final day together. The unusual move added an extra layer of excitement, as fans were left guessing about possible last-minute turnarounds in voting trends.

What Is The Prize Money?

Adding to the excitement surrounding the finale is the impressive prize package awaiting the winner. The champion of Bigg Boss Tamil 9 will take home a cash prize of ₹50 lakh, along with a Maruti Suzuki Victories car, making the victory even more rewarding. The combination of a substantial cash prize and a premium car has further heightened interest among fans as the finale unfolds.

Meanwhile, strong buzz circulating on social media and fan forums suggests that Ghilli Nata has emerged as the winner of the season. As per the same chatter, Rakshitha is expected to finish as the runner-up, while Ashwini Gowda reportedly secured the second runner-up position. Kavya, according to these unofficial updates, is said to have ended her journey in third place. However, viewers are still waiting for official confirmation on air.

For those eager to catch every moment live, the grand finale is being streamed online on JioHotstar from 6 pm onwards, while television audiences can tune in to Colors Kannada for the broadcast.

Adding to the pre-finale excitement, a popular entertainment website conducted an online poll to assess audience sentiment ahead of the final announcement. The poll results indicate a clear favourite. Ghilli Nata dominated the voting with 7.04K votes, accounting for a massive 62 per cent of the total responses. His consistent gameplay, strong screen presence and ability to emotionally connect with viewers appear to have played a major role in his popularity.

Kavya followed in second place with 2.37K votes (21 per cent), while Rakshitha secured third with 1.29K votes, translating to 11 per cent support. The remaining contestants lagged far behind, with Dhanush Gowda receiving 358 votes (3 per cent), Raghu getting 192 votes (2 per cent) and Ashwini Gowda at the bottom with 116 votes (1 per cent).

While online polls do not always reflect the final official results, they often mirror broader audience trends. As the finale reaches its climax, all eyes remain on the stage for the official announcement that will crown the winner of Bigg Boss Kannada 12.
