After 19 long weeks,\u00a0Bigg Boss 16<\/strong>\u00a0has found its winner in rapper MC Stan, while Shiv Thakare was announced as the runner-up. The other finalists of the Salman Khan-hosted show were Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Shalin Bhanot and Archana Gautam. The winner took home the glamorous trophy, cash prize of Rs 31,80,000 and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The finale was also attended by former contestants, who put up grand acts showcasing their journey. From Ankit Gupta and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary reliving their friendship to the \u2018Mandali\u2019, which includes Abdu Rozik, MC Stan, Shiv Thakare, Sajid Khan, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Sumbul Touqeer Khan, coming together to celebrate their friendship, the finale saw it all. Bharti Singh also graced the finale to leave the audience in splits, while Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel joined Salman on stage to talk about Gadar 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coming back to the winner, given the rapper\u2019s disinterest in the game, not many thought he would lift the trophy. However, once he got a hang of the game,\u00a0MC Stan<\/strong>\u00a0confessed that he started enjoying it. Also, with such a massive fandom, the task became easier as his followers voted for him in abundance. His journey in the show has been speckled with fights, friendship and also his raw talent. For the first time in the history of Bigg Boss, a live concert was organised during New Year\u2019s, and fans went crazy when Stan took the stage. Every celebrity who has been on the show has also spoken about being a \u2018fan\u2019 and also mentioned his diamonds and expensive shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MC Stan, through the course of the show, proved that one need not have a \u2018loud voice\u2019 or a \u2018romantic angle\u2019 to survive the game. Having spoken about having a girlfriend outside, Stan kept his distance from other females in the house. On the other hand, host\u00a0Salman Khan\u00a0often joked about his feeble voice. Even then, he never stopped himself from voicing his opinions even when it meant going against his friends. His \u2018Mandali\u2019 stood by him and managed to keep him in the show even when he wanted to quit long back. MC Stan and his fans must be thanking them today, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before he stepped into the glass-doored house, the rapper had spoken\u00a0and revealed that he took up the show only because his mother is a huge fan. He shared how he wants to showcase a new culture in the reality show, which he knows may not be accepted by everyone, but hopes that it will strike the right chord with fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy mother loves the show. Also, I wanted to experience what Bigg Boss is all about. I am definitely nervous but there is also a sense of excitement, as this is something very new for me. My fans have seen me through my music videos and for the first time, they will get a glimpse of how I am as a person. While I don\u2019t want to blow my own trumpet, I am a good person. However, if people don\u2019t understand me and my vision, I have nothing to tell them. I want to bring to the fore a new culture in the house and hope the audiences will also like it,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlso, my mother has strictly warned me to not get involved in any kind of controversies with women. She also told me not to raise my hands as that could lead to me getting ousted. While I am a happy-go-lucky person, if someone does test my patience, I don\u2019t know how I will react,\u201d Stan had mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, Bigg Boss 16 contestants did not make much noise, given there wasn\u2019t anyone \u2018big\u2019. However, host Salman Khan\u2019s \u2018big remuneration\u2019 made the loudest buzz ever since the season was announced. The Bajrangi Bhaijaan star also addressed the same at the launch of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talking about him taking a whopping Rs 1000 crore fee for Bigg Boss this year, the superstar said that he\u2019s never earned this much money. He also quipped that he was about to return the amount, making it a profitable season for Colors TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cItna mujhe kabhi life mein nahi milega. Itna mil gaya toh kabhi kaam na karu (I have never been paid this much, and if I had been, I would have never worked again in my life,\u201d he shared, adding that even when he earns a fat cheque, he has a lot of expenses to take care of. Salman said, \u201cI have a lot of expenses, like lawyers. They take no less money than Salman Khan. My earnings is not even one-fourth of it. Also, the Income Tax people notice these reports and come to me, and then find out the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He had also mumbled softly, \u201cThe Rs 1000 crore I was rumoured to get, I was about to return that. I was about to return the money which I never got. So Colors will be in complete profit this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bigg Boss 16 Winner: On Sunday, MC Stan was announced as the Bigg Boss 16 winner, while Shiv Thakare ended his journey as the runner up.
