Munawar Faruqui on taking up Bigg Boss 17 offer

Talking about why he chose to participate in the show this year, Munawar said, "I think the biggest reason for me to do this show is fans.

Munawar on feeling 'pressurized'
We asked the Lock Upp winner about having an upper hand as he has already won a show on similar lines. Munawar said, "Well, there are advantages but there are more disadvantages to the same as people already have a lot of expectations from me since I've won a show earlier. There's a pressure to not let my fans down. When you are new, you get exempted from mistakes but if you've already done something and won it, you won't be spared for your mistakes. I'm looking forward to how my journey in the show will shape up."
Munawar talks about being focused on winning Bigg Boss 17
We asked the comedian-turned-actor about his thoughts on finding love in the house, and he quipped, "Honestly, I'm not up for anything like that and I only want to focus on the game." Talking about his association with Raj Kundra's debut movie, he added, "I'm only a part of the promotions, nothing more."
Pinkvilla wishes Munawar all the best for his journey in Bigg Boss 17.
