After an action-packed 90 days, Bigg Boss Non-Stop has come to an end. Bindu Madhavi emerged as the winner of the OTT version of Bigg Boss Telugu, hosted by Nagarjuna Akkineni. Akhil Sarthak, on the other hand, emerged as the first runner-up. Apart from the trophy, Bindu took home Rs 40 lakh in prize money. Talking about her win, Bindu said that she is dedicating the award to late-bloomers who never give up on their dreams.

Bindu Madhavi earlier participated in Bigg Boss Tamil, which is hosted by the legendary actor Kamal Haasan. She entered the Telugu reality show as a challenger. In the initial weeks, when Bindu was asked which industry she likes more, she said that the Tamil and Telugu industries are like her two eyes; she couldn’t pick one. Bindu had an interesting journey on the show. While some thought of her as docile, it was only during the tasks where she outshone her competitors and gained popularity among masses. Bindu shared a beautiful friendship with Shiva and Anil throughout her stint on the showe. She shared a Tom and Jerry-like relationship with Akhil.

Shiva, who had earlier participated in Bigg Boss 4, was the second runner-up of his season. He entered the show wanting to win it for his father. During the show, he spoke about how his father survived a brain stroke, from which he is recovering. In the show, Akhil emerged as one of the strongest contestants. He is the only contestant who became a Bigg Boss captain twice.

Thanking the audience for all their support, Akhil said that he has learned a lot during his journey on Bigg Boss Non-Stop.
