Popular television actress Tejasswi Prakash won ‘Bigg Boss 15’ and took home the Bigg Boss trophy along with Rs 40 Lakh cash prize.
Tejasswi, known for starring in the show ‘Swaragini’, was announced as the winner by the show’s host, superstar Salman Khan.
Actor-model Pratik Sehajpal was the first runner up, while Prakash’s actor-boyfriend Karan Kundra finished third.
However, former ‘Bigg Boss’ winner Gauahar Khan, who also attended the finale on Sunday, is not so happy with the ‘Bigg Boss 15’ winner.
Taking to Twitter, she said that Pratik deserved to win the show.
“LoL!!! The silence in the studio at the announcement said it all . #bb15 there is only one deserving winner, n the world saw him shine. #PratikSehajpaI you won hearts. Every single guest who went in, you were their fave, the public loves you. Keep your head held high,” she tweeted.

Moments after she posted the tweet, netizens trolled her and also accused her of ‘pulling other winner down’. While some users called her ‘jealous’, others slammed her for not congratulating the winner.
Take a look at their tweets here:
I don’t get ! you supporting someone is one thing but are you so consumed with hatred that you can’t even congratulate a winner without mincing words, same #BigBoss made U win, Respect its winners, they are as WORTHY, as for the silence, #TejasswiPrakash has been a lone warrior

TRUE! The silence said it all.
It said- there is a reason that those are not winners and #TejasswiPrakash is. That they are sooo jealous that they did not want her to win.
She got Naagin in hands. Trophy on her cap and all our love
What you got? Jealousy? Rashamita got it too. https://t.co/G9k3ks3Pxj— TejaTroop Mysha (@TejaMysha) January 31, 2022

And here you lost it ! common gauahar ? You took it on ego baby. You even clap for your competitor when they wins, if no one did it when #TejasswiPrakash won it’s not her fault it’s their loser attitude, insecurity and jealousy ! https://t.co/HkXSbAbynk
