Tejasswi Prakash won Bigg Boss 15, taking home the winner's trophy and prize money of Rs 40 lakh. Pratik Sehajpal came in as first runner-up and Karan Kundrra as second runner-up.

Gauahar Khan believed Pratik Sehajpal was the deserving winner and tweeted that the 'silence in the studio' when Tejasswi was announced said it all. She felt Pratik had won hearts and was the public's favorite.

The reaction was divided. While some celebrities like Karanvir Bohra and Charu Asopa congratulated Tejasswi, many others including Gauahar Khan, Bipasha Basu, and Bandgee Kallra expressed support for Pratik, with some calling the result controversial.

Tejasswi defended her win by saying she trusted the love from the audience and the Bigg Boss format. She suggested that those doubting this season's result should also question the results of previous seasons.

No, many netizens were unhappy with the result. Some called the show 'scripted' and labeled Tejasswi as undeserving, with some even calling her the worst winner in Bigg Boss history.

Tejasswi was announced as the lead star of Naagin 6 around the same time as her Bigg Boss 15 victory, which led some to speculate a connection between the two announcements.
