Actor Sana Makbul defeated rapper Naezy to take home the Bigg Boss OTT 3 winner’s trophy. While Naezy was the first runner-up, actor Ranvir Shorey was declared the second runner-up. Talking about her stint at Bigg Boss, Makbul told Indian Express, “My journey was quite a roller coaster, initial two weeks were good, but then people started turning against me. The journey was tough, but dark clouds only stay for a while.”
She also told ANI, “There came a point when I was left all alone. Groups were forming in the house. Then a moment came when my friends started turning away, and it felt like the friends I had made, who used to understand me, pamper me, and make me laugh, were no longer there."
“It felt good to be with them, to eat and drink with them; nothing else mattered because these four people were with me. But as they started leaving, it felt worse and the house seemed to be turning against me. But I think it's the willpower that you have not to give up, and I was very focused.”Sana Makbul to ANI
Sana Makbul also talked about her rivalry with co-contestant Ranvir Shorey on the show, calling him a ‘male chauvinist kind of person’, “Strong women are not appreciated and he is one of those male chauvinist kind of a person who doesn’t like it if women do better than him. I don’t want to say anything about him. I have buried it all. I don’t hold any grudge against him. But if he does that, it is his way of dealing with things. When I stepped out from the Bigg Boss house, I let the bygones be bygones. It’s all over for me.”
When asked about Makbul’s win, Shorey had said, “I don’t think she was the most deserving candidate, but one has to respect Bigg Boss’ decision, and the voting. I always knew voting is my weak spot. My objective was to make it to the finale so that I can experience the whole show.”
“I made it to top 3 despite not having a proper PR or management team at the moment. I think I have done well. As far as Sana winning is concerned, this show is unpredictable and it has shown us that by her win. But I certainly congratulate her.”Ranvir Shorey to Indian Express
Other than Makbul, Shorey, and Naezy, Kritika Malik and Sai Ketan Rao made it to the top 5. The third season of Bigg Boss OTT was hosted by Anil Kapoor.
