'Bigg Boss Tamil' Result: VJ Archana Is The Winner, Defeats Mani, Maya

For the first time in the history of 'Bigg Boss Tamil' history, a wild-card entrant has emerged victorious. VJ Archana Ravichandran has become the winner of the seventh season of Kamal Haasan-hosted show, beating the likes of Mani Chandran, Maya Krishnan, Dinesh Gopalswamy and Vishnu Vijay.

In the grand finale aired on Sunday, Archana won the trophy. The first photo of host Kamal Haasan lifting the winner's hand has hit the internet. The winner will walk away with a trophy along with a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh.

Mani Chandra has become the runner-up while Maya has ended up as the second runner-up. Dinesh ended up in fourth place followed by Vishnu.

Entered on day 28, Archana had never raised hopes of winning the trophy on day one. In the initial days, many believed that she would be another wild-card entrant who entered the show for the sake of it.

However, she turned around the table as she decided to take on Maya, Poornima and others who bullied her. She fought back hard even as she uncontrollably cried for help.

Even as she battled the rivals, she was gaining popularity among the audience and clearly hinting at the possibility of a wild-card entrant winning the trophy.

In the end, her efforts met the viewers' expectations due to which VJ Archana created a history.
