Aravind KP, who has emerged as the first runner-up, took home Rs 11 lakh prize money. As a token of his appreciation, Sudeep also removed the jacket he was wearing during the event and gifted it to Aravind. For the unversed, Aravind is an Indian off-road motorcycle racer. He has done several television commercials as a stunt double for big celebrities and also had a cameo in Dulquer Salmaan’s Bangalore Days.
Meanwhile, Manju spoke to TOI and said, “I am very excited and happy ever since I won the title. I have had non-stop phone calls and had no time to sleep at all. I had never even thought that I would see such a win when I was working in the petrol bunk. When I chose to pursue acting while working in the bunk, I never had such a big dream. I wanted to just be seen on television as an actor. To then get a show like Majaa Bharatha and earn some fame and then getting a big stage like Bigg Boss Kannada was something else. I was pitted against noted names like Shubha Poonja, Nidhi Subbaiah, Shankar Ashwath, Chandrakala Mohan and Nirmala. I was often wondering what I was doing among such names.”
