When Munawar Faruqui spoke out about his collaboration with Kangana Ranaut

After Munawar Faruqui was announced as the winner of 'Lock Upp', he quickly faced a storm of media interviews—a task many celebrities dislike. When he entered the interview room, journalists rushed to speak with him. Despite the chaos, he managed to have brief yet meaningful chats with nearly 50 reporters.
Before Munawar entered 'Lock Upp', there was considerable debate about his collaboration with Kangana Ranaut, given their differing ideologies. He had expressed excitement about the opportunity, saying it would be "mazaa aayega" to work with her. Reflecting on this later, he noted that the beauty of living in a democratic country is that people with different beliefs can still collaborate. Despite the doubt surrounding his participation in the show, he saw it as a chance to connect with fans, and he ultimately succeeded in doing just that.
After winning 'Lock Upp', Faruqui took home not just the trophy but also ₹20 lakh in cash and a brand new car. Payal Rohatgi and Anjali Arora were announced as the first and second runners-up, respectively
Recently, Stand-up comedian Munawar has received threats from a gang led by jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is under investigation for the murder of former minister Baba Siddique. The Mumbai Police have provided security for Faruqui due to these threats. A police officer mentioned they are looking into the situation to understand the reason behind the threats.
