Bigg Boss 17 took a drastic turn in the game as one of the strongest contestants on the show Munawar Faruqui seemed having a mental breakdown with revelations from his personal life. There's a wide range of reactions from people watching the show. While some believe that Munawar's true side has been revealed others feel that his personal life shouldn't have been out in the open.

Celebrities like Aly Goni, Abhishek Malhan, and Kamya Panjabi came out in support of the rapper-comedian on this issue. Munawar had a massive emotional outburst in a recent episode and we at Pinkvilla reached out to his sister and asked her about the same.

Pinkvilla reached out to Altaf Shaikh, Munawar Faruqui's brother-in-law, a property dealer. We asked Shaikh about the atmosphere in the house after the major revelation on the show. Altaf who was quite hesitant speaking about it said, 'Sab theek hai, Alhumdolilah'. (Everything is OK).

When we spoke to Altaf's wife and Munawar's sister Shabana, she said, "It was definitely shocking for us, we didn't have any idea about the same. It is shocking for the family and all of his fans. I don't want to speak much about the same. We will get a better picture after a few days. Let the Weekend Ka Vaar pass, I'll be in a better position to speak after that."

Shabana further added, "On Munawar's emotional breakdown, Shabana added, "Takleef hui bahot (It was disheartening). But he is a strong individual, he will surely pull himself up and get back to normalcy. He is very emotional and sensitive, he cries very easily. Mujhe yakeen hai Allah behtar karega (I'm sure God will plan things out in a better way)."

In the show, Munawar mentioned being in a relationship with Nazila Sitashi. However, things took an ugly turn when actress Ayesha Khan stated that Faruqui was involved with her too while he was dating Sitashi.

Ayesha Khan's claims

Ayesha Khan claims that Munawar Faruqui approached her and expressed his romantic interest in her. Khan asked him several times whether he's involved with other women, to which Faruqui denied and told her that he had broken up.

Ayesha revealed that Munawar told her that his ex-girlfriend Nazila charged him for featuring in a music video, which she shouldn't have if she really loved him. Ayesha also claims that Munawar mentioned Nazila being abusive and toxic.

Ayesha Khan- Munawar Faruqui's confrontation

Ayesha entered the Bigg Boss 17 house to confront Munawar for two-timing. However, Munawar initially told her that he was in a transitioning period from one relationship to another. 

Ayesha also asked him about saying 'I love you' to her and telling her that he would wear her bracelet whenever he missed her. Munawar fumbled to give his justification as Ayesha's questions kept on getting fierier.

Aftermath of the confrontation with Ayesha Khan

After Ayesha Khan's massive confrontation, Munawar Faruqui was seen getting teary. He had many emotional outbursts as he broke down in tears on different occasions. Mannara Chopra and Rinku Dhawan tried to console him. While Ankita Lokhande also asked him to face the reality and come out stronger.
