In an interview post her win , Makbul shared, "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 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 said all with pride.
The finale also saw other finalists, including Naezy, actors Ranvir Shorey and Sai Ketan Rao, and content creator Kritika Malik, who competed fiercely for the title.
