Late actor Sidharth Shukla, who lifted the Bigg Boss 13 trophy in 2020 had previously won the seventh season of the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi. Sidharth was 40 when he passed away. He died due to a cardiac arrest.

Karan Veer Mehra believes that he is the "chosen one" after achieving the same feat and winning both shows.

He told ANI, "I feel very happy. I am the chosen one. I did the rare task of winning back-to-back reality shows. I believed in myself. I worked hard and aimed for the top and it happened. I came to know a few things about me, like that I am an emotional person. Before, when I used to cry over little things, I felt bad. But now, I believe that it's okay."

Karan's Bigg Boss journey was no less than a roller-coaster ride for him. It included his intense fights with Vivian Dsena and Sara Khan, funny jokes on Avinash Mishra, and love for actress Chum Darang. Not just that, he also opened up about his two failed marriages.

Rajat Dalal, Vivian Dsena, Karan Veer Mehra, Chum Darang, Avinash Mishra, and Eisha Singh were the top 6 contenders this season.
