Bigg Boss 17: From her complex friendship with Munawar Faruqui to being called as Bigg Boss' favourite contestant; A look at Mannara Chopra's journey

Mannara Chopra has reached the finale as the finalist, the actress has been in the house since day one. She was the first contestant to enter the house and also visit the confession room in season 17 of Bigg Boss. Looking back at her stay in the Bigg Boss house, Mannara had an interesting journey. Be it her friendships, or her fights, fans have enjoyed every bit of her.

Mannara was the first contestant to enter the Bigg Boss house. When Salman Khan had asked her to choose the house she would like to stay in, Mannara chose Dil house instead of Bigg Boss' recommended Dimaag house. After taking the tour of the house, Bigg Boss gave her a task to ask each housemate who entered to choose their house. Munawar felt she was lying while others weren't sure.

Mannara Chopra was the first contestant to visit the confession room on the first day. The actress was frequently given the option of going to the confession room anytime she felt low. Instead of Khanzaadi and Anurag who truly sought for some assistance in the house. Bigg Boss even helped Mannara with her game in the house. And guided her to make her next move every time she got stuck.

Mannara and Munawar's friendship has been the biggest highlight of the season. Bigg Boss had been guiding Mannara and Munawar to keep a bond in the show. There were many such instances when Bigg Boss and the hosts reminded Munawar that she was his only true friend and often pushed him to babysit her. Not only the viewers but even the housemates mentioned how Munawar was babysitting Mannara.

Mannara's bond with Rinku, Jigna and Khanzaadi turned ugly when they started living in the Dimaag house together with Munawar leading their team. Mannara and Khanzaadi passed many hard-hitting and ugly remarks at each other and had some major fights during the course of their stay.

Mannara's another tight buddy in the show was Anurag Dobhal, however, they had a rift where Anurag had to choose between Khanzaadi and her. Anurag and Mannara had also stopped talking when he called out her behaviour, however, towards Anurag's eviction he realised that Mannara was his only true friend in the house.

Ankita and Mannara had massive fights from the first day. Initially, Mannara wasn't happy seeing Ankita bond with Isha and she passed a cheap comment on Isha due to which Ankita blasted at her. Time and again, Ankita tried to keep the bond healthy but Mannara's remarks would spark ugly fights. In the whole season, viewers have seen Ankita and Mannara at loggerheads in most instances.

When Ayesha Khan entered the house as the wild card contestant. When she came to know that Ayesha had a past with Munawar, Mannara targeted Ayesha many times, be it nominations or choosing the team. That wasn't the end of their cold war, Ayesha and Mannara also passed derogatory remarks against each other. Housemates often mentioned that Mannara was insecure and jealous, she didn't want to lose Munawar.

One of the most loved friendships in the house by fans was Mannara and Samarth's bond. Both of them shared some entertaining moments for the fans, however, Isha did have issues with their budding friendship but Samarth stayed by his friend in the house.

Mannara and Vicky Jain's friendship often made headlines. In the recent media round, Ankita Lokhande also revealed that Mannara often spoke to Vicky on purpose as she was aware that Ankita didn't like it. There were many fights between Ankita and Vicky which were because of Mannara. However, Be it Salman Khan or Karan Johar they were often seen justifying Mannara's friendship with Munawar and Vicky on the Weekend Ka Vaar. Karan Johar justified that Mannara looks up to Vicky as a brother.

During the major fights in the house, not only the housemates but even Mannara made many derogatory remarks against them. Be it character assassinating Isha, Khanzaadi, Ayesha and others to make the plastic surgery comment on Ankita or mocking the mental health and health issues of the contestants. The hosts have never called out Mannara for the same as they did to Abhishek, Khanzaadi, Anurag, Ayesha and Isha.

Mannara and her team had reached the finale week and after Vicky Jain's shocking eviction, Mannara became one of the top 5 finalists of the show. The rest finalists are Ankita Lokhande, Abhishek Kumar, Munawar Faruqui and Arun Mashetty.
