As the sixth season of Big Boss Marathi concluded after an intense run of 100 days, Tanvi Kolte has emerged as the winner of this season while defeating strong finalist Raqesh Bapat. She won the 15lakh prize money with additional perks like e-scooters and vouchers.

Tanvi is well-known for her bold, confident, outspoken and emotional transparent personality, which was also reflected in her gameplay & strategies. She not only demonstrated resilience during high pressure situations but her strategic thinking in tasks and nomination played a key role in her win. Additionally, she is emotionally expressive, with which she built a strong connection with viewers and her authenticity helped her gaining consistent public support.

Despite it all during the show she was also criticized for her behavior, actors like Kiran Mane publicly called her “arrogant” and “aggressive”.
