Gauhar Khan wins Bigg Boss 7

Mumbai: Model-turned-actress Gauhar Khan won the seventh season of reality show 'Bigg Boss' tonight, pipping co-contestant Tanishaa Mukherjee. Gauhar, who won Rs 50 lakh in cash and a trophy, stayed in the house for 104 days.

"I Thank family for support. I am big fan of the show. I did not expect to come so far... till the finale," said Gauhar, who had won critical acclaim for her role in the film 'Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year' (2009). During her stint on the show, Gauhar's romance with fellow contestant Kushal Tandon caught everyone's attention and the two openly declared their love for each other. "They are strong personalities, if they know each other better... They could have been better friends," Gauhar's sister Nigar Khan said.

Last season, television actress Urvashi Dholakia had won the show. In the past, small screen actresses Juhi Parmar and Shweta Tiwari have come out on top in the show. Tanishaa won hearts with her dignity and calmness and hardly instigated fights. She made headlines for her closeness to ex-inmate Armaan Kohli. "I did not expect so much love. It was an unbelievable experience. I took a risk and it paid off. I made good relations on the show," Tanishaa said. "I am happy to see my mother here. I love you a lot and missed you," she said.

Tanishaa's mother, Tanuja, who was also present for the finale, appeared emotional. "I am proud of her. For me, she has won the show, even if she doesn't win. I used to see the show everyday. As I couldn't contact her, seeing the show was the only medium. Whenever she cried on the show, I also cried," said the yesteryears' actress.

Besides Gauhar, other contestants left in the house for the finale were Tanishaa, Sangram Singh and Ajaz Khan. Sangram came out of the house first and was followed by Ajaz, leaving Gauhar and Tanishaa for the final reckoning.

While Pratyusha Banerjee and Kamya Punjabi danced to the beats of 'Dabangg 2's' 'Fevicol Se' with Salman Khan on the occasion, Elli Avram, one of the most-liked contestants on the show, danced to oldies like 'Yeh Mera Deewanapan Hai' and 'Hawa Hawai'. Armaan Kohli seemed to be in a good mood and danced with Salman on 'Bodyguard's' 'Desi Beat' song.

The show featured superstar Salman in two roles, as 'Devil' and also 'Angel'. Participants included Pratyusha Banerjee, Kushal Tandon, Gauhar Khan, Apoorva Agnihotri and wife Shilpa, Tanishaa Mukherjee, Ratan Rajput, Kamya Punjabi, Rajat Ravail, Hazel Keech, Armaan Kohli, VJ Andy, Anita Advani, Sangram Singh, and Eli Evram.

'Bigg Boss 7': Sunny Leone is back!

Our sources from the production team for 'Bigg Boss' tell us that actress Sunny Leone - who got her first big break on Indian shores through the show - will soon make her way back to it.

Our source claimed that Sunny would be in the house to conduct a special task.

"Sunny will be on the show later this week and will conduct a dating task. All the male contestants will be asked to impress Sunny in a unique way," the source said.

Meanwhile, we hear that Kushal Tandon and Gauhar Khan don't seem to have taken a leaf out of fellow contestants Armaan Kohli and Tanisha Mukherjee's book - Armaan and Tanisha were warned by host Salman Khan to watch their behaviour, especially with all the cameras around.

"Recently, Kushal and Gauhar were heard discussing intimate details about their personal lives. Keeping with the theme of being a family entertainment show, the conversation was heavily edited," our source said.

Bigg Boss 7: Is Kushal Tandon really coming back to the house?

Kushal Tandon, who was eliminated from Bigg Boss during the last week of October for his alleged violent behaviour against inmate Andy, was reportedly set to re-enter the Bigg Boss 7 house last night.

While all the rumours suggested the comeback, the actor was a no-show.

Kushal, a mass favourite was considered to be the liveliest young member in the house. His elimination has seemingly left the house quite boring and empty, it appears. Kushal’s re-entry to the house is expected to bring back those energies back again.

Still, we suspect a dramatic entry any time now. And how do we know that he’s on his way back to the show? Don’t trust us? No problem, following are telling signs of what is to become of Kushal Tandon’s re-entry into the Bigg Boss 7 house.

Gauhar humming 'Mera Kuchh Samaan Tumhare Pass Pada Hai' on the show, which was hinted at Kushal. Kushal’s recent tweets will make you think "will, Kushal be back in the show"?

Kushal Tandon @KushalT2803 17 Nov: ‘Just fin a channel meeting... vl keep u guys posted if i'm entering the BB house again.’

Kushal Tandon @KushalT2803 17 Nov: ‘Salman Bhai is not opposing my entry... all are rumors...love KT’

Bigg Boss 7’s live feed had Gauhar comment ‘Kushal mere liye shopping karke aaya hai', and in response Sofia says, 'Nice, aisa ladka chahiye' in a muted voice.

Kamya walks in a while later and asks 'Prathyusha mili?' and that was muted too. We can’t help but wonder if he’s just playing hide and seek with us?
