Ranvir Shorey recently opened up about his Bigg Boss OTT 3 experience. The actor gave more context to his remark about Sana Makbul's win and Bigg Boss makers having a "soft spot" for her. He took to his Instagram page and posted a video message, to clarify that he has been misquoted.
Ranvir Shorey says media 'misquoted' his remarks about Sana Makbul
Ranvir claimed that his statement had been ‘twisted’ by the media and said, “Humare media waalo ko baat ghumane ki aadat hai bilkul humare is saal ke winner ki tarah. Maine sirf ye kaha tha ki mere opinion me isse kahi zyada deserving winners ho sakte the. (The media has a habit of manipulating statements just like our recent winner. In my opinion there were other deserving winners.)”
He went on to talk about Sana’s win and shared, “Unme main apne alawa Armaan ki ginti karta hoon, Lovekesh ki bhi ginti karta hoon, Shivani ki bhi karta hoon, Vishal ki bhi karta hoon, Chandrika ki bhi karta hoon. (And in that regard, apart from myself, I also consider Armaan Malik, Lovekesh Kataria, Shivani Kumari, Vishal Pandey and Chandrika Dixit aka Vada Pav girl as good contenders.)”
Ranvir Shorey says Sana is very smart
Ranvir called his fellow contestant ‘smart’ and ‘beautiful’ and added, “Mere liye Bigg Boss house sirf aisi jagah nahi thi jaha ek dusre ke saath gaali galoch karna hai, ek dusre ki bezzati karni hai (I know Sana is beautiful, intelligent, very smart. However, for me, this show wasn't just about insulting or abusing others).”
He added, “Mere liye jo experience tha kahi zyada deeper meaning rakhta tha, kis tarah hum society me behave karte hain, limited resources kaise maneuver karte hain, but of course ye meri galatfehmi thi aur mujhe ye show achhe se dekhna chahiye tha andar jaane ke pehle. (For me this experience had a deeper meaning on how we behave in the society and live on limited resources. It was my fault that I didn't watch the previous seasons properly before going in.)”
“But main is hisab se sabko judge kar rha tha aur in parameters me maine Sana ko nahi dikha kisi gharwale ke liye kaam karte hue ya empathy rakhte hue. Main Bigg Boss pe ungli nahi utha raha tha kyuki main unse itna darta hoon ki abhi awaaz sunu to khad ho jau. I think ye life bhar rhega. (But I was judging everyone on these parameters where I could not see Sana doing some extra work in the house or having empathy for a housemate. I wasn't questioning Bigg Boss as I fear him so much that if I listen to his voice I would stand up. This will remain for the rest of my life),” he concluded.
Sana Makbul took home the Bigg Boss OTT 3 winner's trophy and Naezy ended up at the top 2 spot. Ranvir Shorey walked out of the BB house as the second runner up.
