By SRTeam Bigg Boss Telugu Season 6 began on 4 September 2022 and ran for attention-grabbing 106 days, finally ending with a grand finale on 18 December 2022. It was aired on Star Maa and streamed on JioHotstar.
Bigg Boss Telugu Season 6 Host
The season was hosted by Akkineni Nagarjuna, who continued in his role as the show’s engaging and charming anchor for another year.
Bigg Boss Telugu Season 6 Winner & Runner-Up
The winner of Season 6 was LV Revanth, a popular playback singer. He won the Bigg Boss trophy, ₹10 lakh cash, a plot worth ₹25 lakh, and a brand-new car.
The first runner-up was Shrihan Shri. Interestingly, Shrihan accepted a tempting “golden briefcase” on the finale offering ₹40 lakh and walked away with that amount—though Nagarjuna revealed that Shrihan had actually received more audience votes than Revanth!
Other top finalists included Adi Reddy, Keerthi Bhat, and Rohit Sahni, who all made it to the final stage alongside the winner and runner-up.
