Mehra got overwhelmed with emotions after winning the show. He hugged Shilpa Shirodkar and his other friends after lifting the trophy. Mehra had a dramatic journey in the Bigg Boss house.

“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,” said Mehra.
“I came to know a few things about me, like 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,“ he added.
