After over three months of high drama and intense competition, Salman Khan declared popular television actor Gaurav Khanna the winner of Bigg Boss 19.
The Anupamaa star takes home the coveted Bigg Boss trophy along with a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh.
Farrhana Bhatt, who impressed viewers throughout the season, finished as the first runner-up, while Pranit More claimed the second runner-up position.
The season saw several notable contestants exiting before the finale.
The show evicted singer Amaal Mallik first from the top five, followed by Tanya Mittal, one of the most talked-about participants this season.
The show eliminated Pranit More shortly thereafter, leaving Gaurav and Farrhana to contest the final episode.

Two wild-card entries, Shehbaz Badesha and Malti Chahar, also joined the competition mid-season.
During the finale, Salman Khan paid a heartfelt tribute to the late legendary actor Dharmendra, who passed away on 24 November 2025. He admired Dharmendra’s iconic career and personal influence, reflecting on his dignity and the way his funeral was conducted.
“God bless you, Dharamji. If I am feeling like this, imagine what Sunny, Bobby, and their family must be feeling,” Salman said.
He further added that he has looked up to Dharmendra as a guiding figure throughout his own journey.
This season of Bigg Boss kept audiences engaged with unexpected twists, emotional moments, and intense competition.
