Bigg Boss 17 concluded with Munawar Faruqui’s win. Mannara Chopra, who was the second runner up of the show, recently opened up about receiving congratulatory messages from her cousins, Priyanka Chopra and Parineeti Chopra. She also said she has achieved everything in life because of her hard work and not because of anybody else.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Mannara said, “I did not know Priyanka didi supported me. I really thanked her for that. I am really grateful to all my family members who supported me.”
Actor Parineeti Chopra, Mannara’s other cousin, did not express her support for Mannara on social media. But she did send her a text message. Mannara shared, “When I came back from Bigg Boss, she sent me a long message saying ‘we are very happy on the journey and this is a new beginning.’ I wrote thank you to her. She texted me and I am very happy about it. I have not really seen her after marriage.”
The former Bigg Boss 17 contestant continued, “As sister to sister, I feel that whatever I have become in my life, it is really because of my hard work, my genuine approach towards work. Because I look at work like ‘black and white.’ If it’s happening, it’s happening, otherwise no. I really don’t rely. I am like a fighter. I am a very work-oriented girl. When it comes to family, I have expectations of love and respect. If that is missing, I get hurt.”
Earlier, Priyanka had extended her best wishes for Mannara ahead of the Bigg Boss 17 finale. She wrote, “Throwback to little Mannara Chopra. Good luck little one (red heart, folded hands and flexed biceps emojis).”
