In the activity area of Bigg Boss house, stood the top 4 contestants - Munawar Faruqui, Mannara Chopra, Abhishek Kumar and Ankita Lokhande along with their mothers and Munawar with his sister holding their hands and praying. They were about to become 3 instead of 4. One person was going to evicted after being so close to being the top 3 of the season.
The first one to know her fate was Mannara. She pulled out the paper from the envelope that carried her fate. It read "SAFE". She had screamed, and hugged her mother and the other contestants. She was in the top 3. The girl who wanted to go back home since Day 2 was now one of the audience's favourite. She wished luck to the other three, took her mother's blessings and went inside the house.
The next one was Munawar and he was safe too. He'd gone back in the house and hugged Mannara. He knew he was now only two steps away from achieving his dream. They both waited with bated breaths to know who was going to be with them in the top 3.
Was it Ankita or Abhishek?
Well, both of them prayed it was Abhishek.
And it was! The third contestant to join them was Abhishek Kumar. Ankita was evicted. The three friends celebrated each others presence while Ankita left the house with her mother in tears.
While they sat on the huge sofa in the living room and saw Salman speak to Ankita, they grew nervous by each passing second as one of them would leave this house after being one step away from the trophy. Tension and excitement filled the air, as Salman motioned Ankita to join the other contestants and addressed them.
"Before we find out who will leave us tonight," Salman began, "I want to ask each of you if there's anything you'd like to say to each other and to the world watching us right now."
Abhishek stepped forward first, his gaze sweeping over Munawar and Mannara before settling on Salman. "Sir, sabse pehle toh main Bigg Boss and aapko thank you bolna chahta hoon iss opportunity ke liye. Main jaise iss ghar mein aaya tha 1st day par, uss ke kaafi opposite bankar jaa raha hoon. And isme aap dono ne mera bahut saath diya hai. So, thank you so much. Aur do log jinhone mera hamesha support kiya woh hai Munawar and Mannara. Meri in dono se hi starting of the days mein ladayi huyi thi, well, Mannara se toh aate hi jhagad liya tha main. Aaj uss baat ko yaad karta hoon toh itni hasi hai. And Munawar ke saath bhi kuch aisa hi huya tha. Aur aaj hum teeno yahan hai top 3 bankar, rather itne close friends bankar. Meri jab bhi Isha se yaa Samarth se fights huyi hai, toh inhone hamesha mujhe calm down kiya hai, samjhaya hai. So inko bhi main thank you bolna chahta hoon," he said.
Salman - Very well said Abhishek. Ek baat toh main bhi maanta hoon ki aapki iss journey mein humne ek 360-degree change dekha hai. Especially jab aap iss ghar se bahar jaakar waapis aaye the. I am sure ki audience ne bhi yeh feel kiya hoga, isisliye aap aaj yaha hai top 3 mein. So, congratulations! And, best of luck!
Salman - Mannara, ab aapki baari. Please bataye ki what you're feeling.
Mannara - Sir, honestly, I never thought I would be one of those contestants sitting here as top 3. Never thought people would love me for who I am, the way I am. Firstly, Salman sir, thank you for always acknowledging my efforts, for always helping me out in understanding things. It's really helped me in my journey.
Secondly, Bigg Boss. Thank you ki aapne mujhe apna best friend sirf bulya nahi balki maana bhi. Thank you ki aapne mujhe samjhaya jab mai galat thi yaa jab bhi low feel kar rahi thi. Aapko ek aur cheez ke liye thank you bolna hai. Aapne meri dosti karwayi Munawar se, uske liye.
Munawar (looking at him and taking a deep breath), From day 1, you've been a friend, a confidant, and at times, my reason to smile amidst the chaos. We've laughed, argued, and stood up for each other. Jab bhi maine socha ki main yeh nahi kar sakti, tumne mujhe yakeen dilaya ki main kar sakti hoon. So, thank you. You have supported me a lot throughout the season. But it's more than just the journey, Munawar. It's about the connection we've built. I realized I'm not just fighting to win the game but fighting to not lose this bond we share. I am glad we built a friendship like ours in a house where relationships take a toss. And i am never going to forget this.
