Why Does Munawar Faruqui Love Courting Controversy?
Munawar Faruqui, an Indian stand-up comedian, rapper, and social media personality, is well-known for his sharp wit and often provocative humor. Despite his successful runs in reality shows—winning “Lock Upp” in 2022 and “Bigg Boss 17″—Munawar frequently finds himself at the center of controversies.
Here’s an overview of his life, controversies, and personal matters, including his second marriage!
Indore Arrest in 2021
One of the most notable controversies involving Munawar occurred on January 1, 2021, when he was arrested in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, during a comedy show. He was accused of making offensive remarks about Hindu deities and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, leading to charges of hurting religious sentiments. Interestingly, many argued that he hadn’t even made the jokes that prompted the arrest. His detention sparked a significant debate about freedom of speech and the growing intolerance toward comedy in India. Munawar spent nearly a month in jail before the Supreme Court granted him bail.
Backlash and Show Cancellations
Following his release, Munawar faced widespread backlash, with numerous shows across India being canceled due to threats from groups accusing him of being anti-Hindu. Despite this, he has managed to maintain a strong following, particularly among younger audiences, who appreciate his bold and unfiltered style.
Revelation About His First Marriage
Munawar shocked many when he revealed that he was a divorcee. He first disclosed this personal detail on Kangana Ranaut’s show “Lock Upp” and later discussed it on “Bigg Boss 17.” Munawar shared that he got married at a young age, before achieving fame as a comedian. He also has a son named Mikael from his previous marriage, who now lives with him.
Love Affairs and a Secretive Second Marriage
Munawar’s personal life has been just as tumultuous as his professional one. He grew close to Anjali Arora during “Lock Upp” and later began a relationship with Nazila (Sitaishi). However, things took a dramatic turn when Ayesha Khan entered “Bigg Boss 17” as a wildcard contestant and accused Munawar of double dating her and Nazila.
In May 2024, Munawar reportedly got married for the second time to Mehzabeen Coatwala. However, he has kept the details of this relationship largely private, preferring to keep this part of his life away from the public eye.
Apology for Insulting the Konkani Community
Munawar once again found himself in hot water after making a derogatory remark about the Konkani community. In a video, he was heard saying, “Konkani log c****** banate hai (Konkanis fool others)” during an audience interaction. Following social media threats, Munawar issued a public apology with folded hands, expressing regret for his comments and emphasizing that, as a comedian, he never intends to hurt anyone.
