Bigg Boss 19: From Salman Khan crying inconsolably remembering late actor Dharmendra to Gaurav Khanna lifting the trophy; major moments from the show

Facing tough competition from Farrhana Bhatt, Pranit More, Tanya Mittal, and Amaal Mallik, all of whom were evicted leading up to the final moment, Gaurav ultimately lifted the Bigg Boss 19 trophy.

The grand finale of Bigg Boss 19 turned into a night packed with emotion, celebration, drama, and unforgettable moments that marked the end of an intense and eventful season.

Hosted by Salman Khan, the finale wasn’t just about announcing the winner, it became a tribute to memories made inside and outside the house, powerful revelations, emotional reckonings, and the crowning of a contestant who won hearts with quiet strength.

From the very beginning, Gaurav Khanna’s journey stood out. His time in the house unfolded like a masterclass in self-control, dignity, patience, and thoughtful action. While chaos frequently dominated the house and rivalries grabbed attention, Gaurav maintained a calm, composed approach. He avoided unnecessary drama, responded with emotional intelligence, and chose his battles wisely. Over the weeks and months, his consistency and maturity earned him respect not only from fellow contestants but also from the audience.

Facing tough competition from Farrhana Bhatt, Pranit More, Tanya Mittal, and Amaal Mallik, all of whom were evicted leading up to the final moment, Gaurav ultimately lifted the Bigg Boss 19 trophy. Along with the title, he also walked away with a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh and a brand-new car, marking a proud and well-deserved victory.

The finale episode also offered several headline-making moments. Former contestants Nagma Mirajkar and Awez Darbar stole the limelight when they walked onstage and surprised everyone with a heartwarming revelation, they announced their plans to get married next year, after Ramadan. The announcement sparked joy across the set as they shared details about their wedding preparations. Salman Khan congratulated the couple, adding his signature charm and warmth to the special moment.

Salman also played matchmaker in his own witty style, nudging Pranit More and Malti Chahar to go on a date and humorously instructing them to “order for latte,” a moment that brought laughter to the audience.

A tense but powerful exchange occurred when Salman addressed comments made by Baseer Ali outside the show. Salman firmly reminded him that Bigg Boss had provided him a major platform, and speaking negatively about the makers, format, and host only harmed his own image. He further pointed out that the show chose not to highlight sensitive topics that could have negatively impacted Baseer’s reputation, urging him to be more mindful and sensible in the future.

One of the most emotional moments of the night came when Salman paid tribute to late veteran actor Dharmendra. Visibly shaken, Salman got teary eyed as he shared that Dharmendra had appeared on every season of the show except this one. As a montage of Dharmendra’s appearances played in the background, Salman grew emotional, calling him one of the finest human beings the industry had ever seen and crediting him for decades of unforgettable work and inspiration.

Adding star power to the finale, Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh made a grand entry and delivered a powerful duet with Neelam Giri, later joined by Salman himself. Celebrities including Karan Kundrra, Sunny Leone, Kartik Aaryan, and Ananya Panday also graced the stage to promote their upcoming film.

The unforgettable night finally concluded with Gaurav Khanna holding the glittering Bigg Boss 19 trophy high, a moment that symbolised his inspiring journey from quiet resilience to ultimate triumph.
