Meanwhile, following his victory, Faruqui took to Instagram to thank his supporters and show host Salman Khan for all the love and guidance. Sharing a photo of himself posing with Salman Khan while holding the Bigg Boss 17 trophy, Faruqui wrote, “Bohot Bohot Shukriya Janta❤️ Aapke pyaar aur support ke liye Aakhir kar Trophy Dongri aa hi gayi 🏆❤️ (Thanks a lot people. With your love and support, the trophy has finally reached Dongri itself). Special thanks to Bade Bhai Salman Khan sir for all your guidance ❤️. Saari #munawarkijanta aur #munawarkewarrior ka dil se shukriya ❤️. #Karliya 🏆 (Heartfelt thanks to #munawarkijanta and #munawarkewarrior. We did it!).”

Speaking to The Indian Express after his win, Faruqui said, “The feeling was unreal, the way my journey has been… that moment was such that I could feel the weight of that trophy. This trophy has cost me a lot, but it is worth it. In the end, what was important was not just taking the trophy home, but a lot many things.”

When asked if this incident also took a toll on him mentally, Munawar revealed, “I have been through a lot of mental breakdowns, there was not a single day that I have not cried under the blanket or in the bathroom. I felt very helpless, mentally too I was affected. But I will have to face it.”

While Bekaaboo actor Abhishek Kumar emerged as the runner-up of Salman Khan’s show, South actor Mannara Chopra, actor Ankita Lokhande and content creator Arun Mashettey, aka Achaanak Bhayaanak, claimed the third, fourth and fifth positions, respectively.
