After a marathon 105-day journey filled with intense emotions, strategic gameplay, and unforgettable moments, the show finally revealed its champion, bringing the curtains down on another successful season.
The Final Showdown and Elimination Order
Hosted by the charismatic Nagarjuna, the finale episode featured the top five finalists giving their all for the coveted trophy. The finalists were Kalyan Padala, Thanuja Puttaswamy, Demon Pavan, Sanjjanaa Galrani, and Emmanuel. The elimination sequence began with Sanjjanaa Galrani being the first to exit the race, securing the fifth position. She was followed by Emmanuel, who finished in fourth place, narrowing the competition down to the final three.
In a surprising twist that added to the finale's drama, Demon Pavan chose to self-eliminate during the live event. He accepted a cash offer of ₹15 lakh, a move that directly impacted the total prize pool distribution before the ultimate winner was announced. This left Kalyan Padala and Thanuja Puttaswamy as the last two contestants standing.

This outcome aligned with numerous pre-finale voting trends and unofficial fan polls, which had consistently projected him as the frontrunner. His journey in the house, marked by a calm demeanor and strategic acumen, resonated strongly with the audience.
Thanuja Puttaswamy, who put up a fierce fight throughout the season, was declared the runner-up. Demon Pavan, despite his late-game exit, secured the third position based on his journey prior to the self-elimination.
