MC Stan’s journey in Bigg Boss 16
MC Stan’s journey in the Bigg Boss house was not an easy one, but he managed to become the winner of the show. Known for his witty one-liners and bold personality, Stan managed to rule hearts in a very short period of time. He always prioritised friendship over anything else, and his bond with his co-contestants Shiv Thakare, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Sumbul Touqeer, Sajid Khan, and Abdu Rozik was loved by many. Though he wanted to leave the show in his early days as he felt awkward, he came a long way and bagged the trophy.

MC Stan on bagging the Bigg Boss trophy and beating Shiv Thakare
After becoming the undisputed winner of Bigg Boss 16, MC Stan had a heart-to-heart conversation with India Today wherein he talked about bagging the Bigg Boss trophy. On being asked if he was expecting to win Bigg Boss 16, Stan said that he thought Shiv Thakare would become the winner. Talking about how he felt when Salman Khan was about to announce the winner between him and Shiv, Stan said:
“I was feeling whether I should cry or laugh. It was that kind of a situation. No, I wasn’t expecting that. I thought my brother (Shiv) would win the show. Hum dono mein aisi baat hui thi ki ya toh woh jeetega ya main jeetunga. Humara end tak yahi tha. I feel all 16 contestants deserved to win the show.”
MC Stan on his bonding with ‘Mandali’
Further in the conversation, MC Stan also opened up about the ‘mandali’ tag given to him and his friends, including Shiv Thakare, Sajid Khan, Abdu Rozik, Sumbul Touqeer and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia. He shared that he valued everyone’s friendship and that he and his friends never conspired against anyone. In his words:
“Aisa scene nahi tha, contestants gave us the tag of mandali. We took it in a healthy way. We were like friends, mandali is just a tag. I could practically connect with Sajid sir. I have considered a lot of his pieces of advice. I got to learn a lot from him and from Abdu and Shiv as well.”
