Although Mridul Tiwari did not take home the Bigg Boss 19 trophy, the young influencer has emerged as one of the most admired contestants of the season for reasons that go beyond the reality show. Even before stepping into the Bigg Boss house, Mridul had made a clear commitment — if given the opportunity, he would use his earnings from the show to support public welfare, particularly in the field of education.
Staying true to his word, Mridul has now donated Rs 50 lakh from his Bigg Boss 19 fees towards initiatives aimed at helping underprivileged and specially-abled children. His gesture has drawn widespread appreciation, positioning him as a contestant who chose purpose over personal gain.
Recently, Mridul was spotted visiting several NGOs that work closely with physically handicapped individuals and children from economically weaker backgrounds. During these visits, he spent time engaging with the children, listening to their stories, and offering support tailored to their needs. Images and videos from these interactions soon went viral on social media, earning praise from fans and industry colleagues.

Alongside the shared moments, Mridul posted a deeply emotional note reflecting on his own life experiences. He wrote that he did not receive much formal education growing up, but continues to learn and better himself every day. Emphasising the value of learning, he stated that education remains the most important tool for empowerment and change.
According to sources close to the content creator, a substantial part of Mridul’s income from Bigg Boss 19 — including appearance fees and other related earnings — is being channelled into educational programmes and child welfare initiatives. While earlier speculation suggested that the donation would depend on winning the show, Mridul has clarified that fulfilling the intent of his promise matters more than the final result.
The response on social media has been overwhelmingly positive. Many users have described his move as inspiring and refreshing at a time when reality show fame is often short-lived. Fans have also highlighted that Mridul’s journey underlines a powerful message — true success is not defined by trophies, but by how one uses their platform to create meaningful impact.
