Apart from Munawar & Abhishek, the top 5 finalists also included Indian actress & model Mannara Chopra, famous TV actress Ankita Lokhande, and social media personality Arun Mahashetty.

Responding to the allegation in an interview, Munawar said that people accusing him of being the 'fixed winner' should watch the whole season to learn how much 'scrutiny' he went through. Munawar assured that the results were not fixed and said “Yaar fixed winner ko itna sab go through karna pade toh it can’t be a fixed winner. If I would have been a fixed winner I would have got everything on a platter. Pura season gawah hai that I’ve got nothing on a platter, I’ve worked hard and a lot. My answer to people, who are calling me a fixed winner is – ‘Just sit and watch the entire season and you will realize that it wasn’t fixed’.” He also gave the credit for his victory to his fans and said that a lot of things are at stake when one does a reality show like Bigg Boss. In the process you lose a few things but to win things you have to give it your best. I think I won because of people's love. Did you watch Bigg Boss season 17?
