New Delhi: Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui won Bigg Boss 17 after spending more than 100 days inside the house. He defeated actor Abhishek Kumar to win the finale. Moments after winning the show, he took to Instagram and posted his first photo with the coveted trophy.
Munawar is seen with host Salman Khan. Munawar smiled big, next to Salman in a black-and-white suit. Salman, in his casual look, smiled for the camera.
Sharing the photo, Munawar wrote, “Bohot Bohot shukriya janta aapke pyaar aur support ke liye aakhir kar trophy Dongri aa hi gayi (thank you my fans for all the love and support. Finally the trophy is here). Special thanks to bade Bhai @beingsalmankhan sir for all your guidance. Saari ‘Munawar ki janta aur Munawar ke warrior’ ka dil se shukriya (thanks to all of my fans from the bottom of my heart).”
Munawar took home a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh and a new car. He was among the finalists alongside Ankita Lokhande, Mannara Chopra and Abhishek.
The finale was extra special for Munawar as it was also his birthday. Talking to Times Now, he said, “Isse badiya birthday nahi ho sakta (it couldn’t have been better).”
