The finale of Bigg Boss 18 took place on January 19, with Karan Veer Mehra being announced as the winner. Vivian Dsena secured the first runner-up position, while Rajat Dalal came in third. However, the decision did not sit well with the majority of the Bigg Boss audience, who felt that Rajat Dalal and Vivian Dsena were more deserving of the top spot.
Vivian Dsena has a massive fan following, given his extensive work in the industry. Rajat Dalal, on the other hand, received support from YouTuber Elvish Yadav’s followers, as Elvish is a close friend of Rajat.
After the finale, contestants, friends, and fans took to social media to share their opinions, and most looked unhappy with the results. Among them, one video that caught attention was of Producer and Creative Director Sandeep Sikcand, who is also a close friend of Karan Veer Mehra and entered the house to guide him. While interacting with the media, Sandeep Sikand stated that he was happy the Bigg Boss makers chose personality over votes when deciding the winner.
“I am very happy. trophy ghar aagai hai. Karan is the rightful winner. Bahut saalo ke baad Bigg Boss ek aisa insaan jeeta hai jo personality ke hisaab se jeeta hai aur na ki votes ke. Aur main us baat ko lekar bahut khush hu,” he shared.

Fans Angry!
This statement sparked controversy on social media, with many fans expressing anger and disappointment. Some questioned the purpose of audience voting if the winner was ultimately decided by personality, others pointed out that Rajat was more deserving even if the criteria was changed.
“If Bigg Boss consider the winner as on the basis of personality then what’s the problem in Rajat ? He is played the game very well,” read one comment.
Another person commented, “It’s means viewers perception doesn’t matter at all.”
“It is totally a biased show for getting views they use the so called voting process but the reality is jab unko unka views mil jaate hai tab apne maan marzi ka karte hai aur hum janta log ko ullu banake under the bus fhek dete hai,” commented one user.
