Mehra's journey on Bigg Boss 18 was full of ups and downs. Known for his bold personality, he had some intense arguments, especially with Vivian Dsena, which became a major highlight of the season. His bond with Chum Darang stood out. He openly expressed his feelings for her, creating some sweet moments. However, their relationship took a turn when Chum hinted at getting back with her former partner, changing the dynamic between them.

Karan also formed a close friendship with Shilpa Shirodkar, and their constant debates and banter kept things interesting. All these moments made Karan's time in the house truly memorable.

The top six finalists—Eisha Singh, Avinash Mishra, Karanveer Mehra, Vivian Dsena, Rajat Dalal, and Chum Darang— competed for the coveted winner’s title, the prestigious trophy, and a grand cash prize.

In the first five seasons, winners like Rahul Roy, Ashutosh Sharma, Vindu Dara Singh, Shweta Tiwari, and Juhi Parmar walked away with Rs 1 crore. The amount later saw a dip, with the lowest being Rs 25 lakh in Bigg Boss 8, won by Gautam Gulati.
