Munwar on Elvish Yadav winning Bigg Boss OTT Season 2

Sharing his views on Elvish Yadav’s Bigg Boss OTT 2 win, Munwar said, “I always feel that a real performer, who entertains his audience, wins. People like that kind of person. The last season of Bigg Boss that I saw was MC Stan’s season. It is good to see that a lot of viral audience is coming in. TV has a wider reach, but when faces like Elvish, Abhishek, and MC Stan come in, the internet audience also consumes this TV show. It works in the favor of the show, so I am happy about it.”

He even shared who is his favorite Bigg Boss contestant and which seasons he likes the most. He shared, “I have seen all the seasons up to the 13^th one. I really loved the Gautam Gulati and Gauahar Khan seasons. Gauahar was my favorite winner from Bigg Boss, she was very real right from the first day till the last day.”

Munawar on his personality

While Munawar Faruqui spoke on the game, he even shared what we can expect from him. ” I am someone who plays with all my heart. Playing with your mind can leave you upset at times, I believe. Also, if a group gangs up against an individual that is wrong. I am against that. If it’s like a team chilling together it’s okay. My mind is always active in games like these, but it’s a long show so if I go with the perspective of playing mind games from day one, it won’t be a pleasant journey. But I get angry at the smallest of things, it varies from situations and intentions of people. I am not someone who stresses over things like doing household chores. Even if I feel lazy, I will do the chores for the game.”

Recently, Munawar took the internet by storm when he promoted Raj Kundra’s biopic with Farah Khan. And while he has urged his fans to be nice, seeing him on the show will surely be a treat.
