Priyanka was touted to win the reality show, and was a fan favourite, but rapper MC Stan pulled up a real surprise by walking away with the coveted trophy, and prize money. Fans in the comments section echoed Salman’s sentiment, as one of them wrote, “Unfair Kiya bigg Boss ne.” Another mentioned, “She is the real winner .”

Speaking about the trolls who called his win ‘unfair,’ MC Stan said while speaking with indianexpress.com, “I honestly don’t care about them, mujhe fark nahi padta mama. I actually like people who get jealous. It’s a very natural emotion in a human being. One just needs to accept that this wasn’t meant for them. Just like most fans, I am also shocked but I do feel I deserved to win,” the rapper signed off.
