Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 3 : Rapper Naezy stood as the first runner-up during the 'Bigg Boss OTT 3' finale.
He may not have won the trophy but he is excited about all the love he has got from the audience with his stint in the reality show.
Speaking with ANI after the grand finale on Saturday, Naezy said, "I have no regrets. My friend (Sana Makbul) is the winner and I am extremely happy for her. She needed the trophy more than me. I won the hearts of people...for me, that matters the most."
" It's a big thing for me to reach in top two. People gave me so much love. I will be forever indebted," he added.
The grand finale of 'Bigg Boss OTT 3' took place on Friday. Contestant Sana Makbul, known for her assertive personality and strategic gameplay, emerged as the winner, securing the prestigious trophy and a substantial cash prize of Rs 25 lakh.
In an interview with ANI, post-winning the reality show, Sana reflected on the emotional rollercoaster she experienced inside the Bigg Boss house."In the Bigg Boss house, it's all mixed emotions," she said, recounting the challenges she faced as alliances shifted and friends turned away.
"The first two weeks everything seems fine; as the game progresses, things keep changing and people keep shifting. Those who used to sit together would speak badly about you, and those who weren't sitting together would talk even more behind your back," she shared.
She recounted, "There came a point when I was left all alone. Groups were forming in the house. Then a moment came when my friends started turning away, and it felt like the friends I had made, who used to understand me, pamper me, and make me laugh, were no longer there."
"It felt good to be with them, to eat and drink with them; nothing else mattered because these four people were with me. But as they started leaving, it felt worse and the house seemed to be turning against me. But I think it's the willpower that you have not to give up, and I was very focused.," Sana shared.
Despite feeling isolated at times, Sana remained focused on her goal.
"I came here to win, and I won," she asserted with pride.
Acknowledging the support of her fans and fellow contestants, Sana expressed heartfelt gratitude. "Thank you so much for loving me. You've turned me from stubborn Sana into a stubborn winner Sana," she added, dedicating her victory to rapper Naezy, who she credited with an unwavering belief in her abilities.
