The reality show, Bigg Boss 17 came to an end yesterday with Munawar Faruqui emerging as the winner; he defeated Ankita Lokhande, Mannara Chopra, Abhishek Kumar and Arun Mashetty for lifting the trophy.
However, after his win, many are alleging that Munawar Faruqui didn’t deserve to win and he is a fixed winner. In an interview, Munawar Faruqui reacted to these allegations of being a fixed winner and said, “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 had been a fixed winner, I would have gotten everything on a platter. Pura season gawah hai (The whole season is the proof) that I’ve got nothing on a platter, I’ve worked hard and a lot.”
He further added, “My answer to people who are calling me a fixed winner is, ‘Just sit and watch the entire season, and you will realize that it wasn’t fixed. Having said that, people can have that feeling because, when you have a strong fan base and you do such reality shows, a lot of things are at stake and you lose a few things.
To win things, you give them 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 a fixed winner 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.”
What do you think? Is Munawar a fixed winner?
