While the comedian aimed to make the audience smile with his one-liners and shayaris, his time on the show often saw him getting emotional and teary-eyed. Munawar’s journey on the show also involved controversies, including accusations of two-timing with his ex-girlfriend Nazila Sitaishi and previous marriage proposals before entering the Bigg Boss house.

Munawar’s time on the show became particularly challenging after Ayesha Khan’s wildcard entry. Ayesha raised several serious allegations against Munawar. Ayesha disclosed that Munawar was allegedly involved with not just one, but five women over two months before entering Bigg Boss 17.
