Fans are eagerly speculating about who will take home the trophy, who will be the runner-up, and which contestants will make it to the top 5. Amid this excitement, the spotlight has been on Kalyan Padala, popularly known for his army background and calm demeanor.
Kalyan, who entered the show as a commoner, quickly won the hearts of viewers.

Army Background Controversy
Recently, a controversy regarding Kalyan Padala’s army status has gone viral.
