As the grand finale approaches, fans are eager to learn about the prize money and the top finalists competing for the coveted trophy. Therefore, this article comprehensively overviews everything viewers need to know before the Bigg Boss OTT 3 grand finale.
Bigg Boss OTT 3 prize money revealed
Bigg Boss OTT 3 kicked off on June 21, 2024, with a fairytale-like atmosphere, crafted by designers Omung Kumar and Vanita Garud. Notably, this season introduced a unique concept, “baharwala,” (outsider), a secret spy among the contestants. Moreover, the baharwala contestant had to keep his identity hidden to avoid violating house rules. With numerous twists, turns, and evictions, the show has now reached its much-anticipated grand finale.
The Bigg Boss OTT 3 grand finale will air on Friday, August 2, 2024. Initially, the makers planned to stream it on August 4, but due to scheduling conflicts, it has been moved up. Fans can watch the live streaming on the JioCinema app. However, interested viewers must have a JioCinema subscription to enjoy the live event. Although the makers haven’t yet confirmed the timings, it is expected to start at 9 PM (IST).
Significantly, this season’s winner will take home a prize of ₹25 lakh (around $29,854) with a unique golden trophy. Recently, makers have revealed the trophy, featuring a covered-face figure sitting on a Bigg Boss throne.
In the previous season of Bigg Boss OTT, Elvish Yadav emerged as the winner, with Abhishek Malhan as the runner-up. Previously, Salman hosted the OTT season, but due to his busy schedule, Anil Kapoor has taken over the hosting duties this season.
Bigg Boss OTT 3 top 5 contestants
Bigg Boss OTT 3 started with 15 contestants from various fields, adding a fresh dynamic to the show. The list includes Lovekesh Kataria, Neeraj Goyat, Sana Makbul, Sai Ketan Rao, Nazey, Armaan Malik, Poulomi Das, Payal Malik, Shivani Kumari, Kritika Malik, Sana Sultan, Deepak Chaurasia, Chandrika Dixit, Rapper Naezy, and Vishal Pandey.
Ahead of the Bigg Boss OTT 3 grand finale, the audience witnessed a surprising double elimination. The final nomination list of the season included Sana Makbul, Sai Ketan Rao, Armaan Malik, and Lovekesh Kataria. Subsequently, Bigg Boss asked the remaining contestants to vote for who they wanted to evict. Consequently, Lovekesh received the majority of votes, leading to his elimination. In addition, Armaan Malik was also evicted due to a lack of audience votes, stemming from an earlier incident where he slapped Vishal Pandey, resulting in his nomination for the entire season.
Following these eliminations, five contestants remain in the running for the trophy: Sai Ketan Rao, Sana Makbul, Ranvir Shorey, Naezy, and Kritika Malik. Each finalist has put in tremendous effort to reach this point. To lighten the tension, the makers recently invited Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui and comedian Aditi Mittal to create a joyful atmosphere. Further, Priyanka Chahar and Tusshar Kapoor engaged the finalists in a Q&A session.
As the countdown begins, Bigg Boss OTT 3 promises a grand finale with surprising guests, dance performances, and a powerful conclusion. Fans are eagerly anticipating the moment when the winner of this season will be announced. Stay tuned for the Bigg Boss OTT 3 grand finale on August 2, 2024, streaming live on JioCinema.
