The final winner: Gilli Nata, whether the Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 trophy can finally be yours! However, no matter if it has to officially go to the winner, there is no doubt that Gilli Nata’s life has transformed in gigantic ways through this reality show. The “shine” in Gilli has emerged from regional talent to household name, with the rise on social media alone setting a new record for growth.
The Digital Explosion: From 100,000 to 1.5 Million
Gilli Nata has enjoyed prominence previously via the Reality Series Colors Kannada and Zee Kannada, keeping an approximate following of about 100,000 on his Instagram account, before landing at Bigg Boss house. But the "Bigg Boss Effect" brought him to the sky. By the 8th week of the show, he had 500,000 followers.
He officially crosses this 1.5 million mark, (1.5 million) so he comes to January 17, 2026. Industry analysts predict by the end of tomorrow night when the finale will conclude he will hit 2 million entries by that time - a rare occasion of any contestant in any one season in just 1 season.
"The Gilli Hawa" and the frenzy of it
The "Gilli Army" has been showing their aid in no uncertain terms. From fans having his face plastered on their chests to local musicians making “Gilli Anthems,” the craze is like nothing in history. Social media is inundated today with A.I.-generated images of Gilli Nata holding Bigg Boss trophy in a dream that can’t be replicated.
Responding to the 1.5 million, Gilli’s social media team wrote a heartfelt “Thank You Note,” “How do we even describe this ocean of love? Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support,” he said.
Brighter Future After The Championship
Even if Gilli doesn’t raise the trophy he looks incredibly great on the career ladder. Getting such exposure from the programme has been a double-edged sword:
- Film Career: Gilli has one film released, and other movies are said to be out there soon.
- New Scripts: Some directors are reportedly waiting for him to leave the house to sign him for new projects, sources said.
- Digital Influencer: Gilli now has 1.5 million followers and has a reputation for being one of the top influencers and can even generate substantial revenue from brand sponsors and digital content.
Getting “Finale Ready”
Recently a video of Gilli Nata giving a facial and grooming session in the house went viral. Fans adore each of his “finale prep,” and such clips are raking in record-breaking views for not only Gilli, but also for the official handles for Colors Kannada. Gilli Nata has become a "Sakala-kala Vallabha" (master of all trades), excelling at tasks and being funny, as well as emotional. Gilli has already been awarded the “People’s Trophy,” whether he wins the title or not.
