"For 17 weeks, Stan didn't do anything. He has suddenly become active. Suddenly, he has a dream. Where was he before? What was he doing? He looked very strong, initially.

Shekhar Suman thinks this is most deserving to win Bigg Boss 16
I think Priyanka should be the winner. I have said this earlier too. She is aggressive, has fought on her own and made it to the top 5. She has everything in her to win. Some people feel that since she has acted in a show on the channel, she is their favourite, and therefore there is some bias. I think she deserves to win. Shiv could come second. I have also enjoyed watching Archana Gautam. She has been a very entertaining contestant. The way she used to cry and shout, was quite entertaining for contestants. I knew that she would reach the finale and would be among the top five contestants.
