In a thrilling culmination to the 101-day rollercoaster, VJ Archana (Archana Ravichandran) emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss Tamil Season 7, beating strong contenders including Maya Krishnan, Manichandra, Vishnu, and Dinesh. The actress, known for her stint in Raja Rani 2, not only lifted the coveted trophy but also bagged a substantial cash prize of Rs 50 lakhs.

Archana‘s journey in the reality show began as a wildcard contestant, and she swiftly became a focal point of discussions with her compelling performances. Making history, Archana secured her victory as the first wildcard entrant to claim the Bigg Boss Tamil title. Her triumph is not only reflected in the trophy but also in her overall remuneration of Rs 24.75 lakhs, considering her weekly participation fee of Rs 2.25 lakhs.

The grandeur of Archana’s win extends beyond the virtual realm, as she now owns a brand new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, valued between Rs 10.7 lakhs to Rs 19.92 lakhs. This makes her achievement a substantial one, marking her dominance both inside and outside the Bigg Boss house.

Expressing her emotions on the victory, Archana shared, “I planned only for two weeks. I didn’t plan for these many days. I was enjoying one day at a time. Since school days and college days, I never had anyone around. But after this show, when I look back, I see so many people. I never dreamt of this. Thanks to my family and Kamal sir. You have a part in this victory, sir, because I took you as a mentor. And to my fellow contestants for pushing me at every instant. Thank you, everybody. I am speechless.”

The seventh season of Bigg Boss Tamil brought back the sheen to the reality show, captivating audiences with 23 diverse contestants. Archana’s victory added a unique flavor to a season marked by drama, controversies, and intense competition.
