Munawar Faruqui: Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui, a controversial comedian who is known for pushing the boundaries, has found himself in the middle of a storm once again. This time, Faruqui’s remarks targeted a particular community, which sparked outrage and forced him to issue a public apology. Not to be outdone, prominent leaders from both the BJP and Shiv Sena expressed their anger, with tensions rapidly rising. Let’s look more closely at the specifics of the controversy.
Nitesh Rane’s Threat
When a clip of Faruqui’s performance became viral online and he joked about Konkani people, it sparked the uproar. Many people found the joke offensive on social media, which sparked a barrage of criticism. BJP politician Nitesh Rane expressed his disapproval of the comedian by posting a video in which he said, “This green snake named Munawar’s tongue has begun to wag too much.” We are fully aware of his insults against the Konkan people. If he doesn’t apologize, it won’t take time to send him to Pakistan.”
Shiv Sena Leader Labels Faruqui as a Pakistan Lover
The situation intensified when Shiv Sena leader Samadhan Sarvankar joined the fray, tweeting, “If he doesn’t apologise to the Konkani people, this Pakistan-loving Munawar will be trampled wherever he is found. Let him understand what Konkani people are like. A reward of one lakh rupees will be given to whoever tramples him.”
Munawar Faruqui’s Apology
Faruqui came to the conclusion that it was best to apologise as the situation intensified. In a video that he posted, he made clear his goals, stating, “I am here to clear the air and explain the situation. A while ago, during a show, there was a conversation with the audience about Konkan. I knew some people in Taloja are from Konkan, and I have many friends from there. But somehow, the conversation veered off course, and they thought I was mocking Konkan and its people.”
He further added, “That was never my intention. I never meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. If my words have offended anyone, I sincerely apologise in public. The audience at the show included people from all communities—Marathi, Muslim, Hindu—but I had no intention of offending anyone. I apologise from the bottom of my heart to all of you.”
