There is no denying the fact that Mannara Chopra is one of the most entertaining contestants of Bigg Boss 17. The actress has awed everyone with her cute antics and bold personality. In a recent turn of events, Mannara Chopra, along with Munawar Faruqui, Arun Mahashetty and Abhishek Kumar, have aced the last task and qualified for the finale week.

Taking her suggestion, Mannara made a list of possible names for her. Her sister's name is Mitali, so she also wanted her second name to begin with 'M'. Then she selected Mannara as she liked the name, which even rhymed with Mitali. She added that the meaning of her name is 'shining'.
