In the recent episode of her reality show Lock Upp, Kangana Ranaut opened up about falling for a married man and explained how young girls fall for such men. Without naming Hrithik Roshan, she talked about how her affair with a married man had become a huge scandal. © Kangana Ranaut Instagram It so happened that during the episode, she showed contestant Munnawar Faruqui, a blurry picture that is going viral on social media. In the picture, Munnawar can be seen posing with a woman & a kid. The same picture shown in a #LockUpp How blindly fans were saying tht she's his sister, but #munawarfaruqui accepted tat she's his wife n kid Now who's news is fake? I feel munawar faked his personality in #LockUpp & his fans are blind pic.twitter.com/sSEgSmnUje — Chetana🌼No Diplomacy (@Chetana_CND) April 9, 2022 Kangana asked if he’d like to talk about the picture, to which Munnawar replied, “I don't want to talk about this. Not on social media, not on a platform like Lock Upp. This is not something I want to talk about.” After Munnawar’s refusal to talk about the picture, Kangana said, “Every girl falls into the charm of married men. I speak from personal experience. I am not talking about you, but maybe it happens because they (married men) are domesticated and they are more understanding. They are responsible and have that aura around them that charms young women.” She added, “Wo kahani bana ke rakhte hain ki kahaan phans gaya, bechara hoon. Same story (Such men have stories of being trapped and they tell similar stories to the wife and the young girl).” At this point, Munnawar interrupted Kangana and stated that it isn’t the same story. © Kangana Ranaut Instagram Responding to him, the actress said, “I am not talking about you but many girls will relate, girls who are at a young age. Mere saath kafi bada scandal ban gayi. Aisa lagta hai biwi se aap hi bacha sakte ho, but biwi ki sun lo to kaan se khoon nikal aaye (It became a huge scandal in my life. The young girls feel they are the only ones who can save the married man from his wife. But, if you hear the wife's story, you'd be shocked).” Well, the “scandal” that Kangana is hinting at indeed made headlines nationwide & beyond and was a point for discussion on social media for years.

Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming reality show Lock Upp has been making headlines ever since it was announced. The show which will be hosted by Kangana Ranaut is touted to be as controversial as it gets. Recently, it was announced that stand up comedian Munawar Faruqui will be one of the contestants on the show. Soon after the announcement was made, a lot of people including his fans expressed disappointment and wondered why he decided to work with Kangana as they come from different ideologies and have been at loggerheads in the past. © Alt Balaji In a recent interview with Indian Express, Munawar opened up about coming on board for Lock Upp, joining hands with Kangana and the controversies surrounding him. “I thought it would be my getaway but I have been told they have planned bigger torture for us,” Munawar said. He then added, “Honestly, there are fans who follow you, and there are people who hate you for no reason. Then, there are some who don’t really know you. This show is not just about me as people may tune in for the host and the other contestants. However, they will also get to know me. I have always been a real person and I think with this show, you will see my unfiltered personality.” When asked why decided to participate in a show that will be highly controversial, he responded, “Firstly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong in being controversial. It only means that people did not hear your side of the story, or maybe you were taken out of context. I never wanted to be a part of controversies. I never went and told the media my statement to cause some bawaal (commotion). The part of my video that had hurt people, I removed it immediately. It was the public that played it around for a year and made it news. I never wanted to be controversial, they made me so. I was happy doing comedy and celebrating my 100 million numbers.” © Alt Balaji Lock Upp will stream on Alt Balaji and MX Player for free from February 27. View the full article

Comedian Munawar Faruqui is in the news once again. This time, for yet another cancellation. It has been reported that the controversial comedian has now been dropped from the upcoming Gurgaon Comedy Festival. The reason for cancelling Munawar’s appearance from the 3-day festival is cited to be “public safety”. Organisers revealed that they received multiple calls and messages from people opposing Munawar’s participation in the festival. © BCCL The organiser of the event, Mubin Tisekar of the Entertainment Factory told Indian Express, “We did not want to hurt anyone’s sentiments or put the public in danger… so we removed him from the panel. The decision was taken yesterday and we made changes on the poster and ticketing platform. For us, safety of artists and public is a priority… audience is everything.” He further revealed that as soon as the posters of the event were shared online, they faced backlash, “After the tweets, we repeatedly got calls from everywhere. We did not want to go ahead with all that. I will not comment on who all were calling and complaining. At the end of the day… this business is about making people laugh.” That’s not all, there has been a fresh police complaint filed against Munawar by BJP Haryana’s IT department head Arun Yadav. He has accused Munawar of 'insulting Hindu gods and goddesses' and 'hurting religious sentiments'. © BCCL In his complaint, Arun wrote, “To maintain peace and harmony between different sections of the society, I request you to look into the matter and stop him… His activities have offended my Hindu faith”. Earlier this year in January, Munawar Faruqui was arrested in Indore and spent a month in jail for allegedly insulting Hindu gods and goddesses. A few days back, he had taken to social media to announce that he is quitting comedy after 12 of his shows got cancelled in 2 months. The caption of his Instagram post read, “Nafrat jeet gai, Artist haar gaya. Im done! Goodbye. INJUSTICE.” View this post on Instagram A part of his statement read, “Putting me in jail for the joke I never did, to cancelling my shows which have nothing problematic in it. This is unfair. This show has gained so much love from people in India irrespective of their religion. This is unfair.” View the full article

Days after stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui made headlines after he revealed that his 12 shows have been cancelled in the last two months, another stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has now shared a statement on social media where he has mentioned that his shows in Bengaluru scheduled over a span of 20 days have been cancelled. While Munawar claimed that the reason for the cancellation of his shows was the "threat to venue vandalism", Kunal has put out two reasons. He says that he didn't get the permission to seat 45 people at a venue that can seat more and secondly, threats were made to shut down the venue if he was allowed to perform. Kunal captioned his statement post as "Cancelling comedy shows 101" and also added a sarcastic 5-step process on "how to cancel a show". He also compared the cancellation of his shows to that of Munawar Faruqui's and said that people can “find solace in the fact that the ruling class is at-least trying to oppress with equality.” Check out his tweet below: Cancelling comedy shows 101. 😎😎😎 pic.twitter.com/fN0U7N8QrX — Kunal Kamra (@kunalkamra88) December 1, 2021 Actress Swara Bhasker reacted to the post by Kunal Kamra and wrote, “20 days of daily shows of #KunalKamra cancelled in #Bangalore Are we still kidding ourselves about being an ‘open democracy’ Stand strong Kamra! Go long! You will prevail”.

One user responded in his support saying, “Soon the comedy scene in India will be all about, A guy sitting in front of computer streaming game or reacting to reddit posts with some of his friends. and 15 years old paying Rs 40 superchat for shouting his name.” Another user mocked Kunal and wrote, “Wait. Which Bangalorean was paying to see this guy make jokes? What happened to our sense of humour?” Take a look at some of the reactions below: Soon the comedy scene in India will be all about, A guy sitting in front of computer streaming game or reacting to reddit posts with some of his friends. and 15 years old paying ₹40 superchat for shouting his name. — Shobhit Paroha (@shobhit_paroha) December 1, 2021 Wait.

Making public laugh at someone's cost is not true humour sir . Please reflect — Mohan M Prasad (@MohanMPrasad) December 1, 2021 Harish Pandey, Deputy Commissioner of Police - South Division, Bengaluru City, told NDTV that the organisers cancelled the show on their own after a few residents from the neighbourhood gathered outside the venue and demanded cancellation of Kunal’s shows because as per them he used expletives in his social media post. He said, “We are not very sure why exactly the show has been cancelled. We did not get in touch with the artist. In fact, a few people had gathered before the venue yesterday demanding the organisers cancel the show. According to them, he used expletives in his previous posts and it seemed very controversial. These people who gathered before the venue included the residents in the neighbourhood. No complaints have been lodged so far. Looks like the organisers cancelled the show on their own. They hadn't asked us for any protection”. View the full article

Social media was recently a battleground when people were debating and musing on the words of comedian and performer Munawar Faruqui who decided to quit comedy. “Goodbye, I'm done", he wrote after more than twelve of his shows got cancelled in a span of two months. After Bengaluru Police wrote to the organisers of the show to cancel it, he took to his social media account and exclaimed "Nafrat jeet gayi, artist haar gaya (hate has won, artist has lost). I'm done, goodbye. Injustice." View this post on Instagram After a lot of support and trolling pouring in for him, his latest social media post on Instagram suggests that the guy is tougher than the hate that came his way and he allowed the love of his fans to win him over. He posted a picture that reads “entertainment aata rahega” and that's enough for his friends, fans and supporters that he’s probably not quitting the comedy world. View this post on Instagram The image reads “Kuch rasta likh dega, kuch main likh dunga, Woh likhte jaaye mushkil, Main manzil likh dunga", and isn’t that one great line to keep going? The comments on his post are all about support and love, thankfully. © Twitter © Twitter Earlier last week, Munawar had received a lot of love from celebrities and his supporters who expressed solidarity and probably all that positivity finally seeped in. while no confirmations have been announced from his side, here’s hoping that he continues working for people who enjoy his work.

Comedian Munawar Faruqui says 'he's done' after multiple show cancellations

Indian comedian Munawar Faruqui hinted at quitting comedy after 12 shows were cancelled in two months -
A while back, Vir Das faced the brunt of some social media users who bashed him for his ‘Two Indias’ monologue. People felt that he insulted our country in a foreign land. And now, another comedian has landed in big trouble and things are not looking good for him career-wise. Comedian Munawar Faruqui on Sunday, 28 November, suggested that he may no more perform on stage after the Bengaluru Police wrote to the organizers of his show in the city, asking them to cancel the show. View this post on Instagram In a letter to the organizers, police stated, "There is credible information that several organizations are opposing this stand-up comedy show and it could create chaos and disturb the public peace and harmony, which may lead to law and order problems." Further, the police said, "It is learned that Munawar Faruqui is a controversial figure as he has made controversial statements on other religions' gods." Faruqui responded to the cancellation of his show on Sunday. In an Instagram post, Faruqui said, "Nafrat jeet gayi, artist haar gaya (hate has won, the artist has lost). I'm done, goodbye. Injustice." View this post on Instagram “(From) Putting me in jail for the joke I never did, to canceling my shows which have nothing problematic in it. This is unfair.

Only when I break will their wish be fulfilled. What they say is right, I have become a star)” Munawar added. After his message started to go viral, some people started to bash him for his content and said they are happy that he is quitting comedy. However, another section of people supported him and called the development unfair. One of the supporters wrote, “I come from which #India? I come from "#TwoIndias". I come from an #India where #MunawarFaruqui's "Comedy Show" is canceled because he is a #Muslim and yet I come from an #India where #ElvishYadav is promoted in spite of spreading "Hate" because he stands with the Government.” One of the haters wrote, “When did using misogynist abusive words for mothers and sisters become comedy??? He says he is religious. Does the glorious Quran permit to use "Gaali" to get a few claps? Why can he not give clean comedy per Islamic law? #MunawarFaruqui.” Here are some of the reactions: © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter © Twitter What do you have to say about this?

Munawar Faruqui Drops First Video In A Month After Being Released From Jail
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Whether you fully agree or not, getting “offended” at every step of the way has become the new normal in today’s time. A voice, a strong voice can be cut off once, twice, thrice or as many times as you want, but it can’t be shut down forever. © BCCL But, wait. Is he leaving comedy? Munawar Faruqui was released on interim bail earlier this month after spending over a month in jail for having hurt sentiments for an alleged 'joke.' The heartfelt video sees him try to explain why he does comedy in the first place and why he would leave, given everything he has been put through, thanks to the hatred and sensationalism on the internet without knowing the whole truth. Watch the video here: Here’s how it all beganEklavya Singh Gaur, the son of a BJP MLA Malini Laxman Gaur, filed a police complaint against five of the stand-up comics including Munawar Faruqui, Edwin Anthony, Prakhar Vyas, Priyam Vyas, and Nalin Yadav, for passing derogatory comments about Hindu Gods and Union Home Minister Amit Shah during the show. All of them got arrested later and also, the local court rejected their bail pleas and sent them directly to judicial custody. Later, several comics including Varun Grover, Vir Das, Kaneez Surka, Agrima Joshua, and Rohan Joshi took to social media to voice their strong opinions against this injustice. We are living in 2021 and it is high time we learn to accept that people can have different opinions and try not get offended by everything we don’t approve of. View the full article
