Mannara Chopra, well-known for her participation in the controversial reality show Bigg Boss 17, recently shared her thoughts on the ongoing season of Bigg Boss OTT 3. Using her Instagram stories, Mannara encouraged her fans to make thoughtful decisions and ensure that the most deserving contestant emerges victorious, setting a positive example for future generations.
In her initial posts, Mannara expressed a heartfelt appeal, writing:
“I hope that this time a real personality takes the crown home … Spread love and support real people. #bigbossott Make the right choice, public. Set the right examples for the generations to come.”
She also highlighted the importance of individual merit over external support, stating:
“When you demand external support, you lose the essence of your own existence as an individual. Get so good that you earn it and make your own place in the hearts of people—not by climbing on the shoulders of others’ popularity. Get your act together and play the game on your own, not with the external support of friends and family. #bigbossott MAKE THE REAL PEOPLE WIN.”
Mannara then critiqued the show’s dynamics, indirectly pointing fingers at contestants who might have leveraged connections to get ahead. Without naming anyone explicitly, she commented:
“Pehle jugaad banake Bigg Boss ke andar entry lene ki koshish aur jab jugaad set hojaye toh Bigg Boss mein entry hogayi. Acha uske baad kya karna hai? Are andar chale gaye, jeetna bhi toh hai (laughs). Acha, industry mein apne dost yaaron ko ekata karo apne friends circle mein. Are tumhare etne followers hain, jab me last me pohchu na mere liye vote karna, mere liye naare lagana, yeh karna, woh karna. Are bhai khud apne liye bhi kar lo. Joh tumhare naye fans tumhare saath judne waale hain woh tumhare personality toh dekh le. Yeh kya bakwaas baazi ho rahi hain yaar.”
(Translation: “First, people try to secure a spot in Bigg Boss through connections, and once they’re in, they rely on their friends and social circles to secure votes. What happened to showcasing your personality and winning on your own merit?”)
Addressing her fans, she urged them to:
“Guys, just go and support and vote for real people. Joh aapko jisko dekh ke maza aaya pure show mein, jisne aapko entertain kia, joh aapko real laga—not these jugaadi people joh jugaad lagake andar aaye aur fhir apne doston ke madat se final tak voting karke jeetna chahte hain. What the hell is this, man?”
(Translation: “Guys, go out and support real people. Vote for the ones who entertained you throughout the show, those who seemed genuine, not those who used connections to enter and then leaned on friends to win. What is this nonsense?”)
Before concluding, Mannara delivered a passionate plea:
“Kyun ki yeh joh show hain na yeh lipstick lagane ka show nahi hai, aur naahi yeh ladai-jagade karne ka show hain. This is about real people, real self, aur itne mahino se mein chup thi, kuch bolti nahi thi kisi ko kuch nahi, this that, but when I just see this happening again aur mein dekhti hu online, aur abhi because show ka finale aane waala hai, I really thought that dude, control toh nahi ho raha hai. I have to make this video and put it out to people and just tell people ki aap apne generations, aane waali generations ko kis tarah dekhna chahte ho, aap apne generations ko kis cheez se future mein inspired feel karvana chahte ho. Watch out for that and vote accordingly because this is a personality show and this is a show which is representing India on the international level and please choose your ideal properly and intelligently. Somebody who entertained you and somebody who was real. That’s all what I wanted to say. Goodnight.”
(Translation: “Because this show is not about putting on lipstick or constant fights. It’s about real people and being your true self. I’ve stayed quiet for months, but seeing this happen again, especially with the finale approaching, I felt compelled to speak out. Consider what kind of examples you want to set for future generations. This show represents India on an international level, so choose wisely. Support the contestants who were real and entertaining. That’s all I wanted to say. Goodnight.”)
For context, the recent eviction saw Lovekesh Kataria and Armaan Malik leaving the show, leaving Sai Ketan Rao, Sana Makbul, Kritika Malik, Naezy, and Ranvir Shorey as the remaining contestants. Mannara’s comments seem to criticize those who may have leveraged connections to gain an advantage, though she did not specify any names. Her remarks have sparked discussion among fans and viewers about the integrity of the show and the importance of genuine talent.
