Show host and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan presented Khanna with the prize money of over Rs 50 lakh and the trophy.
"It is yet to sink in. It is very surreal for me now. I received so much of love. What I love about it that I didn't change a bit. I am the same when I went inside the house and came out and people like that (quality) a lot. I didn't change or faked anything," Khanna told the news agency in an interview,
During the episode, Salman Khan, the host of the 'Bigg Boss', was visibly emotional as he remembered late legendary actor Dharmendra, who passed away on November 24 this year.
"He (Dharmendra) passed on my father's birthday and celebrates his birthday with my mother. God bless you, Dharamji. If I am feeling like, what would Sunny, Bobby aur unka pariwar be feeling," IANS quoted Salman as saying.
"Two funerals that were best conducted ever. One was Sooraj Barjatya's mother and the second was Dharamji's. How well they conducted the prayer meet. So much dignity. Ek decorum hona chahiye, celeration hona chahiye. Every ceremony, every funeral should be conducted in such a dignified manner," the Bhaijaan added.
