Kalyan Padala Creates History As First Commoner Winner Of Bigg Boss Telugu

Kalyan Padala entered Bigg Boss 9 Telugu as a common man through the pre-show segment Bigg Boss Agnipariksha. His consistent performance, discipline and strong connection with viewers helped him emerge as the season’s most popular contestant.

An ex-Indian Army soldier, Kalyan, impressed audiences with his physical strength, calm temperament and respectful conduct inside the house. His popularity surged significantly in the final weeks, eventually tipping the scales in his favour during the finale voting.

Grand Finale Highlights: Evictions, Cash Offer And Final Twist

The Bigg Boss 9 Telugu grand finale unfolded with multiple twists:

  • Sanjjanaa Galrani was the first contestant to be eliminated from the top five

  • Emmanuel exited shortly after

  • Demon Pavan, another commoner finalist, chose to walk out after accepting ₹15 lakh from the prize money, finishing as the second runner-up

With only two contestants remaining, host Nagarjuna entered the house and brought Kalyan Padala and Thanuja Puttaswamy to the finale stage, where the winner was officially announced.

Thanuja Puttaswamy Ends Journey As Runner-Up After Strong Season

Thanuja Puttaswamy was one of the most consistent and popular contestants throughout the season and remained a frontrunner from the early weeks. However, in the final phase of the competition, Kalyan’s growing support base helped him overtake her in votes.

Industry chatter suggests that multiple factors influenced the final voting pattern, including Kalyan’s commoner status and regional audience preferences. Despite missing the trophy, Thanuja’s journey was widely appreciated by fans.

As the winner of Bigg Boss Telugu 9, Kalyan Padala took home:

Kalyan was visibly emotional after his win, breaking down on stage as Nagarjuna congratulated him. His parents also joined him, expressing pride in his achievement.
