The lights are up, and the stage is prepared, as 'Bigg Boss 17' prepares to crown its victor on Sunday night, but before that, an assortment of performances from the finalists and past housemates will captivate the audience.
Ankita Lokhande, who is one of the Top 5 contestants will be showcasing her "adarsh bahu" alter ego with a performance on the title track of âKabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' alongside her husband and evicted contestant Vicky Jain.
Before the performance, where Ankita is seen doing a karwa chauth sequence dressed in a red saree, her husband says: "Kabhi socha nahi tha ke atoot bandhan ki shakti bhi kamzor banjayegi."(Never thought that the power of the unbreakable bond would also weaken.) The line denotes the tumultuous journey they have had in their married life in the âBigg Boss 17' house in over 100 days.
Adding to Vicky, Ankita says, "Lekin humne saabit kardiya ke log chaahe kitni bhi ungaliyaan hum par uthaaye.. Hum saath hoker duniya ki har taakat ko kamzor bana dengay." (But we did everything, regardless of how many fingers were pointed at us. Together, we shall undermine every destiny in the world.)
Then perform former contestants Samarth and Isha. Samarth's appearance on the show was highly contentious since Isha first refused to accept him as her real-life partner. Her ex, Abhishek Kumar, who has made it to the Top 5, was also spotted healing their damaged relationship.
The dance sequence echoed the same sentiments as Samarth mouths the line, "Main aagaya Isha. Ab humein koi bhi door nahi kar sakta".(In my presence now, nobody can separate us..)
To which, Isha replies, "Tu kya bolke aaya hai? Tu boyfriend bolke aaya hai?" (Did you told them that I am in a relationship with you?) The two then are seen shaking-a-leg on the song âYou are my Soniya' picturised on Kareena Kapoor Khan and Hrithik Roshan from the 2001 film âKabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham'
The top five finalists are - Ankita Lokhande, Munawr Faruqui, Mannara Chopra, Arun Mashetty and Abhishek Kumar. Bigg Boss 17 finale will be aired from 6 pm on Colors TV with host Salman Khan.
