Kiran Mane began his journey in the show a controversial note. Kiran made his entry into the house and slammed a few undisclosed people allegedly from the industry after entering the house. Kiran said, "Thank you so much, Bigg Boss. Thank you for inviting me to your beautiful house and welcoming a character like me with warmth. I am really happy now. A few days ago, a few crooked and cunning people from the industry tried their best to keep me away from fame despite being a deserving person. They pushed me into the dark side but you showed me the light and fame again. For 6 months, I was heartbroken. The cunning people took the cameras away from me but now 250 cameras are there on me in Bigg Boss. Nobody was my godfather until now but now Bigg Boss is my godfather."

Kiran Mane's first friend in the house was Vikas Sawant. Kiran shared a special bond with Vikas and their friendship gave major friendship goals. The duo supported each other through thick and thin and also slammed each other for various issues.

After the eviction of his friend Vikas, Kiran decided to play the game alone and fight with the contestants. Kiran is one of the strongest players in the house and also bagged the titles of 'Task king' and 'Mastermind' in the house.

Bigg Boss had asked Kiran to leave the house in the eviction task and later took him inside the 'Secret room'. He also got special powers in the room and nominated Amruta Deshmukh. Kiran also got a TV screen to watch all the activities of housemates who are unaware of the 'Secret room'

The actor had made shocking allegations against contestant Snehalata Vasaikar and blamed her for the abrupt ending of his show. He said, " Me and Snehalata were together for 1.5 years. She had a lot of tantrums. It is a story from 10 years back. Only because of her, people would fight with each other on the set. Snehalata would instigate people to fight. Her tantrums were so bad that people went into depression because of her attitude. Every week, a team from the channel would visit the set to resolve the issues. The team would solve the issues that were created because of Snehalata. I told everyone that because of her our TV show has ended and she is the reason why people lost their jobs. People who lost their jobs are still unemployed. The show ended abruptly only because of Snehalata."

Kiran Mane had a special bond with Rakhi Sawant in the house. Kiran and Rakhi's funny conversations about dating and romance managed to entertain the audience. Kiran often said in the house that Rakhi's struggle inspires him and makes him respect her. Interestingly, Kiran's wife who entered the house in 'Family Week' also praised Kiran and told him that she too enjoys his romantic conversations with Rakhi Sawant.

Kiran Mane, who is 52 year, has become the oldest contestant in the show to reach the Grand Finale. Kiran is the first contestant who managed to complete 100 days in the house and also become the finalist of the season. In the previous three seasons, not even a single contestant of his age group managed to complete these many days in the show.
