Bigg Boss OTT 3: Sana Makbul walks away with the trophy; Naezy becomes runner-up

Sana Makbul, best known for her role as Lavanya in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, won Bigg Boss OTT 3 despite being regarded as one of the most "selfish" contestants. She was named the winner by host Anil Kapoor. For the uninitiated, the digital reality show ended on Friday, August 2, with a lot of excitement. The rapper and co-contestant Naezy was named the show's runner-up alongside Sana.

Bigg Boss OTT 3, which premiered a few months ago, featured a number of influences, television stars, and other well-known individuals from a variety of backgrounds. Kritika Malik, Armaan's second wife, Sana Makbul, rapper Naezy, Sai Ketan Rao, and Ranvir Shorey were the show's top five finalists after the controversial Armaan Malik and YouTuber Lovekesh Kataria left. Despite causing controversy outside the house for their polygamous marriage, the Maliks were shockingly kicked out of the game. Sai Ketan Rao, a well-known television celebrity, was also forced to leave the show after Kritika. After the two were kicked out, Bollywood actor Ranvir Shorey, who also made headlines, was the last three to be kicked out, leaving rapper Naezy, also known as Naved Shaikh, or Sana Makbul as the only options. Speaking of the grand finale, the event became a star-studded affair when Stree 2 actors Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao joined the finale contestants before their eviction to encourage them and promote their upcoming release. The host Anil Kapoor announced Sana as the winner as the clock was about to strike midnight, leaving the audiences captivated. Vadapav girl Chandrika Dixit, influencer Vishal Panday, the Maliks (Armaan Malik and his two wives Payal and Kritika Malik), astrologer Munisha Khatwani, influence Sana Sultan, and social media star Shivani Kumari, among others, were all integral parts of the grand finale event.
