Late actor Siddharth Shukla ended up being the winner of Bigg Boss 13, with model Asim Riaz coming in as the first runner-up. Shehnaaz came in third as the second runner-up. The actor was already known for her work in the Punjabi industry after her debut in Sat Shri Akaal England (2017). Since her appearance on Bigg Boss, Shehnaaz has turned herself into a style icon as she recently won an award for Most Stylish Trailblazer.

Shehnaaz told the news agency Press Trust of India (PTI) on how she worked on improving herself. She said, “I changed myself, worked on myself. When people gave me good advice, I followed it and improved. I lost weight as I would hear a lot of comments on 'Bigg Boss' about being fat and was body-shamed... Then I changed my style as people would think I could only wear salwar-suit. I broke all these preconceived notions and would continue to do so moving forward."

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, directed by Farhad Samji, has already earned 41.56 crore in two days on the holiday weekend for Eid. It is the first Salman film to release in theatres on Eid after four years. His last Eid theatrical release was Bharat in 2019.
