Manveer’s best friend and confidant in the house, Manu Punjabi, was the fourth finalist but he quit the game after accepting the offer made by Bigg Boss to take Rs 10 lakh and go home.

I feel extremely happy now. I have lived this journey, fought my way, and now sitting here as a winner I feel I’ve done everything from my heart. This is the result of being honest,” Manveer told PTI.

Along with the title, Manveer received cash prize of Rs 40 lakh out of which his father pledged to donate 50 percent of the amount to the show’s host Salman Khan’s Being Human charity. 

This season, for the first time celebrities were pitted against commoners, who were known as Indiawaale. By winning the show, Manveer lived up to this year’s tagline – ‘Indiawaalo ise apna hi ghar samjho’.

Despite being a commoner, Manveer’s win does not come as a surprise as over his three-month long stay inside the Bigg Boss house, he was successful in winning hearts, due to his simplicity, straightforwardness and dedication. 

The rustic boy not only outlasted many successful names of the film and television industry on the show, but even got highest votes in the finale. 

The Bigg Boss 10 grand finale saw a lot of entertaining performances.

 Salman kicked off the finale by performing on his songs ‘Mera Hi Jalwa’ and ‘Aaj Ki Party’. Evicted contestants Gaurav Chopra, Rohan Mehra, Mona Lisa, Nitibha Kaul, Lokesh Kumari and Navin Prakash joined him on stage. 

Making the grand finale a night to remember, was a string of performances by “Naagin” stars Mouni Roy and Karanvir Bohra. Former “Bigg Boss” contestant Karishma Tanna shook a leg with Salman on the stage.
