January 9, 2026 Published by anbuselvid8bbe9c60f
Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 has reached its final stage, with only 5 days remaining until the grand finale on January 18. In a massive twist that has left fans stunned, popular contestant Gana Vinoth, who was widely considered one of the strongest contenders for the title, has exited the house by taking the ₹18 lakh cash from the money box task on Day 96.
According to the latest updates, during the ongoing cash box task, the amount gradually increased, and when it reached ₹18 lakh, Gana Vinoth decided to accept the money and walk out of the Bigg Boss house.
Gana Vinoth’s Total Earnings Revealed
Apart from the ₹18 lakh he walked away with, reports suggest that Gana Vinoth was being paid a daily remuneration of ₹29,000 for his participation in the show.
Calculation:
- 95 days × ₹29,000 = ₹27,55,000 (approximately ₹27.55 lakh)
Adding the ₹18 lakh cash prize he took: Total earnings ≈ ₹45.55 lakh
This amount is reportedly higher than (or very close to) the grand prize money offered to the winner of Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9. Many fans are now calling his decision a “smart move” and are praising him for securing a guaranteed sum instead of risking it all for the title.
Fan Reactions Pour In
Social media is flooded with mixed reactions:
- “He made the right choice! Guaranteed money is better than hoping for the title”
- “Just 5 more days and he could have won the trophy too… sad decision”
- “₹45+ lakh in pocket – that’s a boss move! Respect 🔥”
Gana Vinoth’s wife also posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, saying: “Your love is bigger than any title.”
With Gana Vinoth’s exit, the finale race is now down to the remaining finalists including Arora Sinclair (who already has a Ticket to Finale), Divya Ganesh, Sandra, Vikkals Vikram, Sabarinathan, and possibly one more contestant depending on the upcoming eviction.
The audience is now eagerly waiting to see who will lift the Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 trophy and take home the winner’s prize.
Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 continues to air on Star Vijay and stream on Disney+ Hotstar. Stay tuned for more updates!
