The Final Tasks That Led to the Winner
The grand finale featured a series of challenging tasks that determined the final rankings. The top five finalists were asked to perform a task where each contestant had to create an image with puzzle pieces. The person who got the most wrong pieces would be evicted. Ram Kapoor lost this task and was eliminated in fifth place.
After Ram’s exit, Shilpa Shinde, Shreya, Shivangi, and Yogesh competed for a spot in the top three. In a strategic move, Yogesh had to convince others to pick a box that said “terminated.” The group managed to manipulate Shilpa into picking that box, leading to her eviction in fourth place.
The top three finalists then faced a jury of media professionals and actors who questioned them before casting their votes. The jury included Prince Narula, Nyra Banerjee, and Shiv Thakare, among others.
Jury Interrogation and Final Voting
During the jury round, Yogesh Rawat faced sharp criticism for his arrogance and conduct throughout the season. Shivangi Joshi was confronted over allegations of manipulating Harshad Chopda and taking his spot in the finals. Shreya Kalra, despite praise for her strategic gameplay, was called out for her harsh language and inappropriate remarks.
Guest panelist and influencer Awez Darbar directly challenged Shreya, accusing her of coaching her ex-partner to make damaging statements about him during Bigg Boss 19. Actress Mannara Chopra turned her focus to Shivangi, demanding clarity on where her relationship with Harshad Chopda actually stands.
Based on jury votes, Yogesh Rawat was evicted. The winner was decided based on votes from ex-contestants, the jury, and the jailers. After securing the maximum number of votes, producer Ekta Kapoor announced Shreya Kalra as the winner.
The final voting numbers showed that the “Janta Ki Jury” gave Shreya 18 votes, while Shivangi received five. Overall, Shreya secured 23 votes compared to Shivangi’s 16, sealing her victory.
