The finale of Bigg Boss Telugu was a marathon 4-hour-long bonanza. Was it a success? Or rather, was it a roaring success? Yes, it was. NTR's energetic hosting had many, many takers.

As per BARC, the finale's viewership catapulted Star Maa's average viewership by a whopping 57 percent compared to the previous 4 weeks' average. From 4646 to 7284, the jump was exponential. This was between 6 PM to 10:26 PM on Sept 24.

The Young Tiger, referring to Star Maa as 'Naa TV', said on the last day, "The show has given me an opportunity to get closer to the people. I feel lucky to be getting to interact with the viewers every week," NTR said in a recent interview.
