New Delhi: Bigg Boss Telugu 9 is racing towards its explosive finale, packed with twists, tears, and massive drama. Host Nagarjuna just dropped a bombshell in the latest promo—revealing the winner’s prize money that has fans buzzing.

With eliminations shaking the house and top contestants fighting for glory, who will claim the trophy on December 21? The tension is sky-high as luxury cars and gold chains await the champion.

Prize money reveal

Bigg Boss Telugu 9 has reached its final stage after starting on September 7 with full excitement. The grand finale is set for December 21, featuring the top 5 contestants. Host Nagarjuna officially announced in the latest promo that the winner will get Rs 50 lakh prize money, just like in past seasons.

Makers planned a double elimination this week to reach the top 5. Suman Shetty was eliminated on Saturday, December 13, leaving six housemates: Thanuja, Kalyan, Immanuel, Sanjana Galrani, Demon Pawan, and Bharani. One more will exit on Sunday, ramping up the stakes.

 Contestants’ heartfelt responses

Nagarjuna asked contestants what they would do with the prize money if they won. Bharani said, “If I win the money and feel like giving it to someone, Immanuel and Pawan would be on that list,” showing his bonds in the house. Demon Pawan added, “If I win, I will buy a gift worth Rs 5 lakh for Reethu.”

 Additional perks and taxes

The winner gets more than cash—sponsor companies offer luxury cars, gold chains, and other gifts. However, a big chunk of the prize money gets cut due to taxes, as everyone knows. Details on amounts for runner-up and other top 5 finalists remain unrevealed by Nagarjuna.

Fans can watch the show Mon-Fri at 10 PM and Sat-Sun at 9 PM on Star Maa, streaming 24/7 on JioHotstar. Promos keep building hype as voting trends shift daily.
