Munawar had won both the shows.
Munawar stated that he believes in learning all the good habits from people he meets in his life. Talking about Kangana Ranaut, Munawar praised her for being punctual. 'I don't think woh kabhi late aayi set pe. Usse hume pata chalta hai ki yahan pe kaam aise bhi ho sakta hai. Kahi bhi late mat jao I don't think Kangana has ever come late on set. It shows that such work ethics also prevail in the industry. I have learnt the importance of punctuality from her)," he said.
Moving on to Salman Khan, he jokingly said that the actor taught him to be late at times. Moreover, he added, 'Salman bhai se maine kind hona seekha hai. Unke jitna kind koi nahi ho sakta. Hum toh sunte hai unki kahaniyan aur sochte hai aage jaake hone ki, koshish karenge hone ki. Itna kind ki aas paas ke logon ko pareshan na kare (He has taught kindness to me. There's no one as kind as him. We have been hearing stories about him and someday, we desire to be that person)."
The Society is a brand new reality show where contestants are further classified as Royals, Regulars and Rags. The show, co-hosted by Munawar and Shreya Kalra, is billed as a sociological experiment, bringing together 25 contestants who will compete in over 200 hours of high-stakes gameplay within a controlled atmosphere structured around class differences.

Jaya Bachchan once said she would have 'slapped' Shah Rukh Khan after Aishwarya Rai fallout
Jaya Bachchan Once Expressed Anger at Shah Rukh Khan After Rift With Aishwarya Rai Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai, two of Indian cinema's most celebrated figures, delivered memorable performances together in films like Josh, Mohabbatein, and Devdas. Their on-screen pairing was a favourite among audiences, but their off-screen equation took a drastic turn in the early 2000s. Despite their successful collaborations, a professional rift led to Aishwarya being removed from multiple films they were initially set to do together. According to reports cited by News18 and others, the reasons for this fallout were never clearly stated. Aishwarya herself later confirmed that she was dropped from several projects that originally featured Shah Rukh Khan, including Chalte Chalte and Veer Zaara. These sudden exclusions had a noticeable impact on her career at the time. While Shah Rukh later apologised, the rapport between them was never fully restored. The fallout between Shah Rukh and Aishwarya didn't just remain a professional matter. It drew the attention of Aishwarya's family as well, particularly her mother-in-law, Jaya Bachchan, who had always shared a warm rapport with Shah Rukh. In a 2008 interview with People magazine, Jaya was asked if she still held any resentment toward Shah Rukh over what happened. She admitted she did, and said that although she hadn't yet spoken to him about it, she intended to. She added that had he been at her home at the time, she would have slapped him — just as she would have done if it had been her own son. Despite the anger, she also made it clear that she felt a deep emotional bond with Shah Rukh and admitted to having a personal fondness for him. The strain in their relationship was also evident during Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan's wedding in 2007, where Shah Rukh was noticeably absent. At the time, it was reported that the two actors were still not on speaking terms following the Chalte Chalte controversy. As per News18, Jaya Bachchan addressed this directly, pointing out that if it had been possible to invite Shah Rukh without upsetting family dynamics, the wedding date itself would have been changed. Though the fallout left visible cracks, the passage of time brought some healing. Shah Rukh's apology, along with a gradual softening of tensions, helped bridge the distance.
