The comments were flooded with congratulatory messages from fans and friends. “Finally,” one user wrote. “Most deserving,” another wrote.
A start-up comedian, rapper and entertainer, Munawar Faruqui was catapulted to fame after his standup comedy video named “Dawood, Yamraaj & Aurat” in April 2020. His fame grew from there due to his debut song, “Jawab”, in collaboration with Indian musician Spectra. Nor is this the first reality TV show that he has won. In 2022, he became a contestant on Kangana Ranaut’s show “Lock Upp,” and was declared the winner in May.
However, his participation in Bigg Boss made him rise even further, and he now has an astonishing 11.9 million followers on Instagram.
