Munawar Faruqui Speaks Out About Allegations Of Bigg Boss 17 Winner Fixing: 'Got nothing on platter, I worked hard'
Munawar Faruqui, the winner of Bigg Boss 17, addressed allegations of the season being 'fixed' in an interview with ETimes. When questioned about being labeled a 'fixed winner,' the stand-up comedian urged critics to watch the entire season, emphasizing the extensive scrutiny he faced. Faruqui acknowledged that before entering Bigg Boss 17, he aimed to alter people's perceptions of him, but now recognizes the challenge of changing opinions.
Munawar 'answers people calling him a fixed winner'
Addressing allegations of the Bigg Boss 17 winner being pre-determined, Munawar Faruqui asserted, "Yaar fixed winner ko itna sab go through karna pade toh it can’t be a fixed winner (If one has to go through so much scrutiny as a supposed fixed winner, then it can't truly be a fixed winner). If I would have been a fixed winner I would have got everything on a platter. Pura season gawah hai (The whole season if proof) that I’ve got nothing on a platter, I’ve worked hard and a lot. My answer to people, who are calling me a fixed winner is – ‘Just sit and watch the entire season and you will realise that it wasn’t fixed’."
He added, "Having said that, people can have that feeling because, when you have a strong fanbase, and you do such reality shows a lot of things are at stake and you lose a few things. To win things, then you give it your best. Mujhe lagta hai ye pyaar hai logon ka (I think I won because of people's love), and people who are calling me me fixed winner, I can’t change their opinion. Maybe before going to Bigg Boss I would have wanted to change perceptions, but now I feel I can’t change everyone."
Munawar Faruqui's Bigg Boss win
Following Munawar Faruqui's victory in Bigg Boss, actor Abhishek Kumar, the first runner-up, has been trending on X (formerly Twitter). Some viewers argue that Abhishek was more deserving of the trophy than Munawar. However, reports indicate that Munawar secured a substantial lead in votes, ultimately clinching the win. The third position went to actor Mannara Chopra, followed by Ankita Lokhande in fourth place in Bigg Boss 17. Rounding out the top five was YouTuber Arun Mahashetty.
Munawar clinched victory in Bigg Boss 17, receiving the winner's trophy, a sleek new car, and a substantial cash prize of ₹50 lakh. Notably, this marks Munawar's second reality show triumph, following his earlier win in Lock Upp season 1 in 2022. As the grand finale unfolded on Sunday, actor-host Salman Khan declared Munawar the winner, prompting a congratulatory hug from Abhishek. Post-announcement, Abhishek warmly embraced Munawar and, in a respectful gesture, touched Salman's feet. Salman commended Abhishek's performance, saying, “Very well played, Abhishek.”
