In a dramatic finish to one of the most-watched reality TV seasons, television actor Sana Makbul has claimed victory in Bigg Boss OTT Season 3. The much-anticipated finale, broadcast on Friday night, was a glamorous event hosted by Bollywood legend Anil Kapoor, who announced Sana as the winner of this season's competition. 

Sana Makbul, recognized for her bold demeanor and strategic play, secured the top spot, winning the coveted trophy along with a significant cash prize of ₹25 lakh. 

In an interview after her reality show victory, Sana looked back on the emotional ups and downs she endured in the Bigg Boss house. She described it as a whirlwind of emotions, highlighting the difficulties she faced as alliances changed and friendships faltered.

She explained, "The first two weeks were smooth, but as the game went on, everything changed. People’s loyalties shifted, and those who once sat together began speaking negatively about you, while those who weren’t close to you talked even more behind your back."

Sana continued, "There came a point when I was completely alone. As groups formed, my friends started drifting away, and it felt like the people who used to understand me, comfort me, and make me laugh were no longer around."

She added, "It was comforting to be with them, to share meals and drinks; their presence was everything to me. But as they began leaving, it felt worse, and it seemed like the house was turning against me. However, I believe it was my willpower and focus that helped me persevere."

Even though she often felt isolated, Sana kept her focus on her objective. "I came here to win, and I did," she declared with pride. 

Expressing deep gratitude, Sana thanked her fans and fellow contestants for their support. "Thank you so much for loving me. You've transformed me from stubborn Sana into a stubborn winner Sana," she said, dedicating her win to rapper Naezy, who had steadfastly believed in her potential.

The finale also featured other finalists, including Naezy, actors Ranvir Shorey and Sai Ketan Rao, and content creator Kritika Malik, all of whom competed intensely for the title.

While Sana Makbul emerged as the winner, Ranvir Shorey was named the second runner-up, with Sana and Naezy remaining as the top contenders.
