MUMBAI: With the controversial show, Bigg Boss 13 finally coming to an end after five months, there has been an allegation that the winner of the show was fixed. Sidharth Shukla, who lifted the trophy, has always been supported by the makers and that is why he was declared to be the winner. Now, the runner-up Asim Riaz has reacted to the rumors and defended the Colors show.
Riaz rubbished the rumors that have been spread on Twitter and claimed that only the audience's love for Sidharth made him the winner. He said, "There’s nothing like that. Nothing is fixed.. I reached till here and he (Sidharth) won the show all because of the audience’s love. So, it is not fixed and nothing like that happened."
