Munawar Faruqui On Balancing Good And Bad Times In Life: ‘Koi Bhi Cheez...'
Munawar Faruqui's latest show The Society will revolve around 25 competitors who participate in a high-stakes game. Actor-comedian Munawar Faruqui is set to host the brand new show The Society with Shreya Kalra. The team organised a special media event ahead of the release where Munawar not only answered questions about the show but also about his career trajectory so far. He expressed his gratitude to the almighty for everything that he has achieved in all these years. During the media interaction, Munawar was asked about how he handles ups and downs in life. Replying to the same, Munawar said he is 'always grateful". He added, 'Ye nahi sochna hai ki ye permanent hai. Jab aap kisi cheez ko permanent samjhne lagte ho, to aapka aitbaar chala jata hai. To Humesha ye maan ke chalna hai ki koi bhi cheez permanant nahi hai. Sukh ho ya Dukh Ho woh temporary hi hai, app balance rakh paoge (you must not think something as permanent, then you lose trust in it. Be it good or bad times, everything is temporary; this will help you maintain a balance)." Munawar's latest show, The Society will revolve around 25 competitors who participate in a high-stakes game. Inside the program, contestants are divided into three distinct social classes (Royals, Regulars, and Rags), each with varying levels of power and luxury. As the game advances, the Royals enjoy comfort and luxury, the Regulars are caught in the middle with limited resources, and the Rags must overcome adversity and climb the social ladder. Survival in The Society is determined not just by strength, but also by the ability to negotiate a world fraught with social pressures. Speaking about the show, Munawar shared, 'The Society isn't just a game; it's a mirror to the world outside. But just like real life, those tags can flip at any time. This show is raw and real. It tests how far you're willing to go to protect your dignity and claim your place. Power shifts, loyalties break, and fear creeps in but what matters is how you play the game. Because in society, dikhta kuch aur hai, hota kuch aur. The safest bet is never giving up and fighting till the end," as quoted by India Forums. Moreover, Munawar Fauruqi has been enjoying acclaim for his web series, First Copy, which was released on June 20 on Amazon MX Player as well.
