In a dramatic turn of events on the grand finale of Bigg Boss 17, stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui clinched the coveted winner’s trophy, leaving fans and even the show’s host, Salman Khan, shocked. However, the night wasn’t without its share of emotional moments, especially for Ankita Lokhande. She found herself surrounded by a swarm of fans after her unexpected elimination just moments before they announced Munawar as the winner.
As Ankita stepped out of the sets, hoping to avoid the prying lenses of the paparazzi, enthusiastic crowd of fans greeted her. In a video capturing the incident, Ankita appeared visibly upset, making her way into her vanity van as her team worked hard to control the excited throng. Despite the overwhelming situation, Ankita, with her characteristic poise, urged everyone to take it easy, saying, “Aaram se.”
Sporting a stunning silver saree for the finale, Ankita Lokhande’s elimination came as a shock to many. It even surprised Salman Khan, who expressed his disbelief at the turn of events. Salman candidly admitted that he had anticipated Ankita to be the winner of the 17th season. He stated, “I am shocked. I thought that you would win the show but don’t know what happened. The whole team is shocked….Ankita, your journey has been the toughest journey in (history of) Bigg Boss.”
The emotional impact of Ankita’s departure was palpable not only on her but also on her family members. Her sister-in-law visibly had teary-eyes. Ankita’s husband, Vicky Jain, who had faced elimination earlier in the season, surely shared in the disappointment.
While Ankita Lokhande may not have secured the winner’s title, her journey on Bigg Boss 17 received acknowledgement as one of the toughest by Salman Khan. In the end, the laughter and wit of Munawar Faruqui took center stage. It made him the triumphant winner of this season, leaving a lasting mark on the history of Bigg Boss.
