The prize money was reduced to {{INRConvert|5|m|1}} with an amount of 500,000s awarded to the "most entertaining" housemate each week from week 6 onwards. The award was discontinued after four weeks for unknown reasons.

The series was won by soap actress Urvashi Dholakia on 12 January 2013. Imam Siddiqui was the first runner up while Sana Khan and Niketan Madhok were second and third runners-up respectively.

Sana Khan returned as challenger to compete with champions in Bigg Boss Halla Bol!. However she was evicted first on Day 14.
