January 19, 2026 Published by Natarajan Karuppiah

The grand finale of Tamil television’s biggest reality show, Bigg Boss Season 9, has concluded with the announcement of its winner. Emerging victorious among strong contenders and securing massive public support, Divya Ganesh has been crowned the title winner of this season. In the final race, Divya secured the top spot, overtaking finalists Sabarinathan, Vikkals Vikram, and Aurora. Along with the winner’s trophy, she was awarded a cash prize of ₹50 lakhs and a brand-new car.

With this victory, Divya has reached a significant milestone in Bigg Boss history. She shattered the long-standing perception that only contestants who enter on Day 1 have a high chance of winning. Entering as a Wild Card contestant, she navigated her way to the trophy.

This marks only the second time in the history of Bigg Boss Tamil that a Wild Card entry has won the title. Previously, Archana Ravichandran achieved this feat in Season 7. Now, in Season 9, Divya Ganesh has repeated that historic achievement.

Though she started her journey calmly, her momentum in tasks, her honest approach with fellow housemates, and the way she handled difficult situations won over the fans. Support for her on social media surged significantly during the final weeks.

Divya received the trophy from the host, Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi, on the grand finale stage.

Divya Ganesh has proven that “time is not a barrier to winning people’s hearts,” even if one enters the show late. This season, hosted by Vijay Sethupathi following Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan, received a great reception from fans. His style of handling contestants and “pointing out the truth without hurting anyone” was highly appreciated. The moment he raised Divya’s hand to announce her victory was a truly emotional highlight for the fans.
