TV actor Tejasswi Prakash, who won Bigg Boss 15, also found love on the show in the form of TV star Karan Kundrra, who was the second runner-up this season. Karan Kundrra, in a recent interview with ETimes, said that he is "proud" of his girlfriend's victory. The actor also had a reply for those who accused Tejasswi of ruining Karan Kundrra's game. Karan Kundrra told ETimes, "I lived the Bigg Boss journey the way I wanted to. If I fell in love, why would it be Tejasswi's fault? Why are people blaming her for this? She made me stronger, gave me the strength to survive till the end in that madhouse. If she wasn't there, main give up kar ke nikal gaya hota. She didn't ruin my game, she was my strength there. I am happy about her victory, and I am proud of her. Tejasswi and I may not be perfect, but I guess we are perfect for each other."
Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash started dating during their stay in the Bigg Boss house, where they were both contestants. It began when Karan Kundrra confessed that he had a crush on Tejasswi and with a little help from singer Akasa, they started dating. "To be honest, I don't know how we fell for each other. In fact, we were discussing this last night, and Tejasswi had no idea, too. Initially, I thought yeh ladki pagal hai, but she is cute and I was fond of her. I would often find myself staring at her," Karan Kundrra said.
Fans of Karan Kundrra were disappointed to see the actor on the third spot. A section of the Internet believed that if it weren't for Karan and Tejasswi's relationship, the former could have won the show. Tejasswi Prakash's journey in Bigg Boss 15 was a rollercoaster ride. The actress was criticized big time in the finale week after she age-shamed fellow contestant Shamita Shetty by calling her "aunty." Despite, the hate, Karan and Tejasswi managed to win the hearts of many fans and the hashtag #TejRan (an amalgamation of their names) became insanely popular.
Tejasswi Prakash, who won the latest season of Bigg Boss15, won Rs 40 lakh and she will next be seen in Naagin 6. Pratik Sehajpal was the first runner-up, while Karan Kundrra stood third. Shamita Shetty, Nishant Bhatt were also in the top 5. Nishant decided to walk out out of the house with Rs 10 lakh, which were deducted from the winning amount.
