Social Media Reacts!

Many fans expressed skepticism about the results, leading to hashtags like “#BB Fixed Winner” trending. The win sparked controversy, with debates about whether it was fixed, paid for, or genuinely earned through votes. Celebrities, former winners and fans outpoured their opinions onto Twitter!

Prayag Tiwari positioned Karan Veer next to Siddharth Shukla saying, “The only deserving winner after Siddharth Shukla, I’ve known him for the last 10 years, he’s the most sensible and genuine guy. This season is The Karanveer Mehra Show ❤️.”
