As the grand finale of Bigg Boss Season 17 approaches, excitement among the audience is palpable, with everyone rooting for their favorite contestants. In the lead-up to the final showdown, the top five finalists—Ankita Lokhande, Munawar Faruqui, Abhishek Kumar, Arun Mashettey, and Mannara Chopra—attempted to reconcile their differences in the latest episode. However, in a surprising turn of events, Munawar left everyone stunned as he made a startling claim about his co-contestant Mannara Chopra.

During a conversation with Ankita Lokhande, the stand-up comedian revealed that he had been conscious about Mannara's image right from the beginning. He disclosed that he hadn't shared this information with anyone about an incident during the Diwali dance. Munawar then made a kissing gesture towards his cheeks, indicating that Mannara had kissed him. Ankita responded that she hadn't witnessed it.

Munawar elaborated, saying, "I got uncomfortable because I have always maintained a line." Ankita sought confirmation about the kiss, and Munawar nodded in agreement. He explained that he hesitated to bring it up with Mannara as it would create an awkward situation for her. Ankita then revealed that Mannara has feelings for Munawar.

The comedian shared how he wanted to protect Mannara, mentioning that she even wiped his cheeks after the alleged kiss. Talking about the Diwali night, Muna disclosed, "When we were sitting on the sofa in the night, she mentioned 2-3 times 'Dance was nice' and asked me 'You had fun while dancing' so I said yes it was fun." Munawar added that Mannara gave him a kiss and called him 'khadoos' (rude). Following Munawar's revelations, Ankita brought up Salman Khan's comments about Mannara having feelings for Munawar. She mentioned that the actor-host pointed this out because it was evident to the audience as well.

Meanwhile, after Vicky Jain's elimination, the final lineup for the Bigg Boss Season 17's Top 5 consists of Munawar Faruqui, Ankita Lokhande, Abhishek Kumar, Mannara Chopra, and Arun Mashetty.
