Bigg Boss 18 winner Karan Veer Mehra recently shared insights about his time on the show and his prize money during a candid conversation on Bharti Singh’s podcast. Following his victory on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, he revealed that he has already received the prize money for that show and is now eagerly awaiting the delivery of his new car. Reflecting on his journey, Karan Veer mentioned that Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 was his first collaboration with Colors and hinted at a long-term association with the channel.
He remarked, “Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 was my first show with Colors. Now I don’t intend to leave this channel. Colors makes you a name. 50 lakhs is the winning amount for Bigg Boss 18 and it’s yet to come. Khatron Ke Khiladi 14’s money has come, and the car that I won is going to arrive in a few days. I didn’t get the chance earlier, so I got it booked now.”
When asked whether his Bigg Boss 18 win was scripted, Karan Veer Mehra jokingly responded that it had cost him his car and house. He believed that his victory was part of a greater plan and credited many people for supporting him throughout his journey. “Everyone has contributed in some way to my victory. I was having fun inside and wasn’t looking to win. My weekly total was sorted, so winning or losing didn’t matter much. It’s a personality show, and mine appealed to the audience. It’s not about being more or less. Even if I came second, I wouldn’t have been a different person. I felt for a while that I was going to win. The love I am getting after Bigg Boss is too overwhelming. I am spending a lot of time with fans, especially the aunties who have been blessing me a lot,” he shared.
Karan Veer also spoke about his impact on Bigg Boss’ reputation, expressing pride in how he played the game. He stated, “The only thought in my mind was that my mother was watching, hence I never resorted to swearing or getting into physical fights. I had even told the makers that I would get the trophy peacefully and wouldn’t do anything unnecessarily. Bigg Boss was known for some other reasons, but I am getting compliments for cleansing the show. Now a lot of actors are wanting to do the show. The journey started late for me, but it was in a very good space.”
