Gilli Nata received a roar of applause from the host Kichcha Sudeep at the Grand finale of Bigg Boss Kannada 12, who held his hand up to proclaim him the champion of the most competitive season ever. Gilli Nata's victory was not just for 24 other contestants who showed up the house this year, but for a huge fanbase that had taken him to the top with record numbers.
A Record-Breaking Mandate
Gilli Nata’s climb from flamboyant entertainer to household name concluded with a stunning final act. He was supported by an extraordinary tide of public assistance. In the course of this voting, he obtained an astounding 40 crore (400 million) votes, which indicates that he was highly popular with their hearts online, and that he was relevant in their minds. Though Rakshitha Shetty put in a courageous effort as the runner-up, the tidal wave of “Gilli-mania” just couldn’t be contained.
The Grand Prize: Wealth and Wheels
Gilli Nata’s triumph offers plenty of goodies that are pleasing to the fans. As Season 12 winner, he got the typical prize of ₹50 Lakh. But the incentives didn’t end at the cash prize. This year, a top sponsor, Maruti Suzuki, presented a new Maruti Suzuki Victoris SUV to the winner.
With a running price tag of around ₹20 Lakh, the Victoris is a formidable street presence with a 1490 cc engine and a stellar 5-star Global NCAP rating. Gilli's victory is one of the most lucrative in Bigg Boss Kannada to date and is one of the most luxurious additions to the vehicle line.
Kichcha Sudeep: A Heartwarming Gesture
Last minute, the host Kiccha Sudeep did an unexpected, heartfelt thing. Taking from Gilli’s character and journey, Sudeep announced that he would personally give Gilli Nata another ₹10 Lakh. This gesture of generosity displayed only another pride in the victory; it demonstrated the great respect that Gilli acquired while at the club for 112 days.
The Road Ahead: Lights, Camera, Action
The spectacle outside Jollywood Studios was like a festival. Thousands of fans converged to behold their hero, chanting his name and waving banners. Experts say it will not be the end for Gilli Nata. He has been a celebrity as well as coming after so many public-driven offers already from Sandalwood for the “Mandya Boy”.
Gilli Nata, with this story of growing up as a creator in a digital age, was the perfect source of inspiration for so many. Now as he departs in his new SUV with a trophy in hand and 40 crore votes to his name, the Kannada entertainment house now recognizes a new superstar.
