's latest vlog, Bigg Boss 17 winner
Munawar Faruqui
opened up about his life experiences, comparing the challenges of his time in jail to the intense environment of Bigg Boss.
When Farah asked him directly, 'Which was worse? Jail or Bigg Boss?', Munawar didn't hesitate to respond, 'You can't even compare.
It's offensive to compare.'
Farah, visibly moved, reminded Munawar not to take stress and acknowledged the gravity of what he's endured. Lightening the mood, she cheekily asked, 'Which had more irritating people?' to which Munawar quickly replied, 'Bigg Boss.'
Recalling their first meeting, Farah revealed how impressed she was with Munawar's self-assurance even before the show began.
'I met him one month before Bigg Boss. He was shooting a video for Raj Kundra and told me, 'Ma'am dekhna, trophy jeet ke aunga.' He was very confident,' she shared.
However, she admitted that midway through the show, she was concerned about his journey. 'I felt your game might end in the middle. You became the tragedy king,' she said. Munawar agreed but highlighted the importance of the full experience. Farah added, 'Yes, pre-climax mein hero ka down aana zaroori hai.'
Talking about his fan following, Munawar reflected on the overwhelming love he continues to receive. 'Even if I go for namaz, I see the crowd and it makes me immensely happy,' he said. 'I've always been transparent about where I come from and people relate to that.'
This conversation offered a rare glimpse into Munawar's vulnerability, resilience, and gratitude, with Farah's warmth bringing out his most honest self — a man shaped by hardship, but defined by hope.

Complaint Against Ekta Kapoor: Mumbai Police Fails To Submit Enquiry Report, Gets Notice
Last Updated: In 2020, social media personality and Bigg Boss fame Hindustani Bhau filed a complaint against Ekta Kapoor and accused her of disrespecting Indian soldiers via one of her shows. A Mumbai court has issued a show cause notice to the city police for not submitting an inquiry report in a complaint filed against film and television producer Ekta Kapoor for allegedly disrespecting Indian soldiers in one of her web series. As reported by PTI, police officials were supposed to submit the report by May 9. However, they missed the deadline. Due to this, the magistrate court issued a notice to the Mumbai Police on Friday, seeking a response. Why Is A Complaint Filed Against Ekta Kapoor? In 2020, social media personality and Bigg Boss fame Hindustani Bhau filed a complaint against Ekta Kapoor, her OTT platform Alt Balaji, and her parents, Shobha Kapoor and Jeetendra, and accused them of disrespecting Indian soldiers via one of their web shows. In his complaint, Hindustani Bhau criticised a show on Ekta Kapoor's platform for depicting a military officer engaging in an 'illicit sexual act" while he was wearing his uniform. 'The accused have stooped to a cheap low and shamelessly targeted the dignity and pride of our country by depicting Indian Army military uniform in the illicit sexual act with national emblem on it," the complaint said. In February this year, the magistrate's court in Bandra directed the Khar police to conduct an inquiry into the complaint against Kapoor and others under section 202 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Meanwhile, this is not the first time that the filmmaker has faced legal issues over content on her streaming platform. In 2024 too, an FIR was lodged against her after Jabalpur BJP MLA Abhilash Pandey accused her of depicting 'bold content involving children" in the web series Gandii Baat. Meanwhile, on the work front, Ekta Kapoor is currently working on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2. While Smriti Irani will be making her comeback as Tulsi with this new season, Amar Upadhyay will be seen as Mihir once again. Reportedly, this new season which will have 150 episodes.
