Meanwhile, it was in March that Munawar among 13 others were detained in Mumbai after there was a raid on a hookah parlour. Despite it being a non-bailable offence, the Mumbai police gave him a notice and let Faruqui go.

It would not be wrong to say that Munawar often finds himself embroiled in controversy. He was even accused of hurting Hindu sentiments at one of his stand-ups in 2021. At the time, he allegedly made fun of Lord Ram, following which he was arrested and spent one month in jail. Later, several of his shows were also cancelled in different states. Post that, he was seen in Kangana Ranaut's ‘Lock Upp’ and emerged as the winner of the reality show.

Munawar then took part in Salman Khan-hosted ‘Bigg Boss 17’. After spending over 100 days in the house, he won the show and he received a massive welcome in Mumbai's Dongri. He not only bagged the trophy but also took home the cash prize of Rs 50 lakh and a Hyundai Creta car.
