When Bigg Boss Season Saath 7 launched on
15th September, little did the contestants know that when they walk out
that they had become national household names. Especially Gauahar Khan,
who, 103 days later, walked out as the winner of the seventh season of
Bigg Boss. Resembling a ‘masaledaar’ Bollywood movie, this season has
witnessed varied emotions from love, hatred, jealousy, vengeance to
betrayal- the show had it all. Above all, this season has been the most
watched, most buzzed and most trended season of all times. With cameos
from a volley of guest entries made by friends and family members of the
contestants, the show has been a complete blockbuster with twenty
celebrity contestants who also found a loyal friend in Heaven. Stepping
out of the Bigg Boss house with great pride, Gauahar Khan has walked
away with not only the Winner’s Trophy, but also prize money of Rs. 50
lakhs. Receiving the trophy from the superstar host Salman Khan, Gauahar
celebrated her victory with her family members, friends and
co-contestants. Tanishaa Mukherjee, Ajaz Khan and Sangram Singh came in
as first, second and third runners-up respectively.
Gauahar’s journey in the show has not been a
cake walk. She came across as someone who always stood for what she
believed in and surpassed her co-contestants with her confidence and
perseverance. In not much time, she found a confidante and companion in
Kushal Tandon and they became inseparable from there on. While Gauahar
always believed in fighting her own battles, she stood by Kushal through
thick and thin. In fact, she even exited the Bigg Boss house when he
was evicted for misbehaving with Andy. However, she did not accept her
love for Kushal publicly until he recently proposed to her on national
television in the show, thereby making their relationship official.
Having performed every task with utmost determination, Gauahar with her
never-say-die attitude played the game with dignity. While she received
much criticism for her dominant nature, her constant banters with
Tanishaa and playful conversations with Andy have been the highlights of
this much spoken about season.
After being declared as the winner of the
seventh season of Bigg Boss, Gauahar said, “It still hasn’t sunk in yet
that I am holding this trophy as the winner of Bigg Boss Season Saath 7.
There could be no other better experience than the one I have had in
the Bigg Boss house. This show has given me more than just a victory.
My journey here has made me even stronger and I take back with me a
beautiful memory to cherish forever. As I move on to another chapter in
my book of life, I would like to thank my family, friends and fans for
being my support system. I look forward to celebrate this triumph with
them.”
Commenting on the season, Manisha Sharma –
Weekend Programming Head, COLORS, said, “This season of Bigg Boss has
super ceded all our expectations and has raised the bar in terms of
content and entertainment. The exciting lineup of contestants not only
made it one of the most sought after seasons but also made Bigg Boss the
topic of dinner table conversations. Salman Khan, as host, took the
show to another level through his true inimitable style. We would like
to congratulate Gauahar on her win and are glad to be closing the season
on a high note. As we draw curtains on the 7th season of Bigg Boss, we
are pleased to have presented 105 days of non-stop entertainment to our

The Grand Finale night of Bigg Boss Season
Saath 7 was a true extravaganza filled with some spectacular
performances by former contestants. Host Salman Khan performed to
various songs and was joined by previous contestants including Elli
Avram, Armaan Kohli, Kamya Punjabi and Pratyusha Banerjee. Setting a
romantic mood, the love-struck jodis of Bigg Boss Season Saath 7,
Kushal-Gauahar and Armaan-Tanishaa swayed to some popular love songs. In
fact, Armaan and Kushal also engaged in a dance war as they transformed
the stage into a battleground as they delivered an action-packed
performance. Adding some fun element to the grandeur, Andy, Ajaz and
Sangram left everybody in splits by performing a joker act.
Bigg Boss Season Saath 7 has been an
amalgamation of some entertaining and nerve-wrecking moments that have
enthralled audiences for 105 days. Hosted by superstar Salman Khan, the
show was themed around the concept of Heaven and Hell and saw some
incredible programming and production initiatives. Produced by Endemol
India Pvt. Ltd and aired on COLORS, Bigg Boss Season Saath 7 was an
entertainment fiesta and promises to entertain and delight viewers in
