Manu Punjabi is Alia Bhatt's favourite contestant

Jaipur boy Manu Punjabi, who is currently seen in reality show Bigg Boss10, has found a fan in none other than Alia Bhatt. Alia expressed her fondness for Manu when she entered the Bigg Boss house on Friday to promote her upcoming film Dear Zindagi.

The episode, which airs today , will show Alia telling other contestants that Manu is her favourite. A source from the sets informed us, "The first thing Alia told the contestants was that Manu is her favourite. She later told Manu that he is the most entertaining contestant and that she finds him really funny. However, she also told him that he sometimes tends to overthink."

The source added, "While playing a game, she asked the men in the house to woo her using a prop and a cheesy line. Even though she loved what other contestants did, she gave away the award to Manu who used a magnifying glass as the prop saying she is biased towards him."
