Munawar Faruqui Wins Bigg Boss 17; Anurag Doval Absent

29th January 2024: The curtains have fallen on Salman Khan’s acclaimed reality show, Bigg Boss 17, concluding a three-month journey. Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui emerged victorious, triumphing over 17 competitors in the grand finale held on Sunday. Although all contestants were present, Anurag Doval was notably absent. Expressing his gratitude, Anurag took to social media to thank Elvish Yadav, the former winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2, for his support. Anurag acknowledged the fans’ encouragement and wrote, ‘I was in the house, grateful for the overwhelming support. Jai Shri Ram.’

Despite the presence of all former contestants at the Bigg Boss Season 17 finale, Anurag Doval was conspicuously missing. Addressing his absence, Anurag clarified in a tweet, stating, ‘For those wondering why I didn’t attend the grand finale of Bigg Boss 17 – for the sake of self-respect, I cannot offer false praises.’

While Anurag shared his reasons on social media, Salman Khan, the host, added a humorous touch in the grand finale. Salman playfully remarked that Anurag must be riding in the mountains, expressing his anger with Bigg Boss as the reason for his absence. Post his exit from the show, Anurag continued sharing updates and thoughts on social media.
