However, the event was not without its controversies. After the winner was announced, Ranvir Shorey made some startling remarks, implying that the show's results were overly influenced by contestants' social media followings. He suggested that if the competition were based solely on social media popularity, the producers might as well award the trophy to the contestant with the most followers from the outset. Shorey remarked, “Agar sirf social media following ke basis pe show pe rahenge, toh usse achha yeh hai ke jiski sabse zyada social media following hai usko seedha trophy de do (If staying on the show is only based on social media following, then it’s better to just give the trophy directly to the one with the most followers).” ALSO READ: Bigg Boss OTT 3 WINNER: Sana Makbul Lifts The Trophy With Naezy; Actress Takes Home Rs 25 Lakhs- Videos Inside

The finale itself was a spectacular affair, featuring impressive performances and heartfelt moments.

When Anil Kapoor announced Sana Makbul as the winner, the audience erupted in cheers, celebrating her achievement. Meanwhile, Ranvir Shorey was called to the confession room, where he was shown a touching video message from Shehnaaz Gill, a Bigg Boss 13 finalist. In her message, Shehnaaz congratulated Ranvir and praised his honesty and genuine personality. She expressed her hope that he would receive many work opportunities after the show.
Shehnaaz said, “Hello Ranvir sir, main aapko mubarakbaad dena chahti hu. Aapne game ko itni honesty ke sath khela hai. Aapne apni real personality utni hi sachchaai ke sath dikhaayi jitni sachchaai ke sath aap screen pe acting karte ho. Aap top 5 tak pahuch chuke ho, main chahti hu ab aap jeet kar bhi aao. Bhagwaan kare aapko bahut saara kaam mile jab aap bahar aao (Hello Ranvir sir, I want to congratulate you. You have played the game with such honesty. You have shown your real personality with as much truthfulness as you display in your acting on screen. You have reached the top 5, and I hope you also win. May God bless you with lots of work when you come out).”
