Manveer, meanwhile, said the win has not changed him and he will always stay the same ‘desi banda’. “After I won, people have been praising me. They are taking my photos and shouting my name everywhere. People are making me feel like a star but I am still a desi banda inside,” he said after Salman announced him the winner in Bigg Boss finale.

Manu Punjabi looked happier than his best buddy Manveer after he was declared the winner. He said, “10 lakh mai le gaya aur baaki paise mera bhai. So, who can be happier than me. (I took away Rs. 10 lakh and the rest of the amount was won by my brother).”

Bani J was disappointed but she was gracious in her loss. Speaking to media, she said there was no strategy in a show like Bigg Boss 10. “It was difficult and harrowing and it is easy to lose your motivation in a show like Bigg boss,” Bani said about her journey in the show.

Celebrities Rahul Dev and Gaurav Chopra were of contrasting views on the winners. While Rahul Dev was happy with Manveer winning the show, Gaurav Chopra who was rooting for Bani looked upset with the final verdict. Gaurav said, “I am unhappy with Manveer’s win.”

Lopamudra Raut was a little upset about not winning the show and finishing third. She said, “I am slightly disappointed thinking that I could have won. But I feel like a winner as I was in the final three.”

“Manveer is a lovely human being. His win is mine. I am happy for him. He is a well-deserved winner,” Lopa added. The news of Swami Om being beaten up was the happiest news for Lopamudra after she stepped out of the Bigg Boss house. “The first thing I heard after coming out was that Swami Om has beaten. I was so happy hearing that,” Lopamudra said.

Manu Punjabi preferred to take Rs 10 lakh and quit the show. Bani J finished first runner-up, and Lopamudra Raut was declared the second runner-up due to less number of votes. While the massive fan base of both Bani and Manveer were campaigning for their favourite contestant for days now, the final announcement of Manveer as the winner has put all the rumours and speculations to rest.

Manveer has won hearts for his simple ways and the deep bond he shared with his best friends Manu and Mona Lisa. On the other hand Bani stood strong throughout the show and fought on her own. She did not depend much on her friendship with Gaurav Chopra too.
