Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9 is nearing its end, with just 5 days left until the grand finale on January 18. In a surprising turn of events, popular contestant Gana Vinoth, who many saw as a strong contender for the title, has left the house after taking ₹18 lakh from the money box task on Day 96.
During the ongoing cash box task, the amount in the box gradually increased. When it hit ₹18 lakh, Gana Vinoth chose to take the money and exit the Bigg Boss house.
Gana Vinoth Total Earnings Revealed
In addition to the ₹18 lakh he left with, reports indicate that Gana Vinoth earned a daily payment of ₹29,000 for his time on the show.
Calculation
- 95 days × ₹29,000 = ₹27,55,000 (about ₹27.55 lakh)
Adding the ₹18 lakh cash prize he received brings his total earnings to approximately ₹45.55 lakh. This amount is reportedly close to or even higher than the grand prize for the winner of BB Tamil Season 9. Many fans now view his choice as a smart move, praising him for securing a guaranteed sum instead of risking it all for the title.
Fan Reactions Pour In
Social media is buzzing with mixed responses
- “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 an impressive move! Respect.”
Gana Vinoth wife also shared a touching message on Instagram, stating, “Your love is bigger than any title.”
With Gana Vinoth’s departure, the finale race now includes the remaining finalists: Arora Sinclair (who already secured a Ticket to Finale), Divya Ganesh, Sandra, VikkalsVikram, Sabarinathan, and possibly one more contestant based on the upcoming eviction.
