Bigg Boss 12 has finally found its winner in Television's bahu Dipika Kakar, who entered the bigg boss house with the only intention of winning the game. Looks like all her tears did move the audience, after all! She defeated Sreesanth who lost to her by a few votes to become the first runner up. Given the number of times Sreesanth threatened to leave the house, this indeed a huge position for him, we feel!
Meanwhile, speaking of Dipika, the actor entered the house a few months into her marriage. Before entering, she had mentioned that it was a collective decision taken by her and husband Shoaib Ibrahim because they have a lot of responsibilities to fulfil. Dipika's journey inside the house has been quite interesting too. While she looked like a complete cracker in the beginning, she somehow seemed to be shadowing Sreesanth eventually but no one can beat the popularity the actress enjoys.
Talking to IANS, an overjoyed Dipika said, “I am on cloud nine. I thank my fans for making me win this show. Without their support, this would not have happened.”
Dipika, who first shot to fame with her enthralling performance in “Sasural Simar Ka” also thanked the Almighty for the achievement. The actress said she has planned out to visit “Ajmer Sharif” before heading home.
“I am a believer of God. Before coming to ‘Bigg Boss’, I promised myself if I win the show, I shall offer prayers at Ajmer Sharif, Now that I have won the show, I will go there for sure,” said Dipika, who received a cash prize worth Rs 30 lakh and a trophy by host Salman
Khan.
She also praised Salman for being the “kindest” host. She said he helped her in improving her mistakes throughout the show.
Dipika gave a strong competition to former cricketer and co-contestant Sreesanth, who turned out to be the runner up of the show.
Dipika shared a close bond with Sreesanth and considered him as her brother in the show.
So when asked was it tough to compete against his so called brother in finale, Dipika said: ” I never fought against him. I was very confident that ‘Big Boss’ is about being you and I would be myself and that’s the reason why I have won the show.
“No doubt, bhai (Sreesanth) was my stronger competition but I never considered him as a foe and never felt that I have to win against him.”
While talking about her journey, Dipika said it was full of high and low moments, which she would like to cherish forever.
She feels that her patience level has increased multifold after having stayed in the “Bigg Boss” house for 90 days.
“This show has tested my patience and has made me so strong that now I won’t hesitate to fight any obstacle. My patience level has increased so much , I hope i would fight less with Shoaib Ibrahim ( her husband-actor),”Deepika laughed.
Besides Dipika and Sreesanth, Romil Chaudhary, Karanvir Bohra and Deepak Thakur were the other three contestants who made it to the top five finalists’ list.
