Interestingly, this comes days after Munawar Faruqui was detained with 14 others during a raid at a hookah parlour in Mumbai. The raid took place in Mumbai’s Bora Bazar. “During the raid, the police found stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui and others smoking hookahs at the joint. We also have a video of their act. We detained Faruqui and others, but they were later allowed to go as the sections slapped against them were bailable,” a senior police official told news agency PTI.

All those who were detained, including Munawar, were reportedly booked under the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act along with IPC sections 283 (danger or obstruction in public way or line of navigation), 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others). However, they were released in just a few hours.

Munawar Faruqui was also arrested in 2021 for allegedly hurting religious sentiments during a stand-up show. He was in jail for 27 days before he was granted bail.

On the work front, Munawar Faruqui emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss 17 earlier this year. After Bigg Boss 17, Munawar was also seen in a music video titled ‘Halki Halki Si’. It was a romantic track which also featured Hina Khan.

Next, Munawar Faruqui will reportedly soon be seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. However, there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now. The stand-up comedian was roped in for Rohit Shetty’s Khatron Ke Khiladi even for the 12th season. However, he had to back out of the show at the last moment due to visa-related issues.
