Was Munawar Faruqui shooting for Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 16 promo? Lock Upp winner spotted at Filmcity

Lock Upp winner Munawar Faruqui finally made his appearance at a film studio. He was spotted at Filmcity in Mumbai recently. Munawar’s name has been linked to Salman Khan’s upcoming reality show Bigg Boss 16 and thus, it looks like this comedian was there shooting for the promo of the show.

The paparazzi captured Munawar at Filmcity late at night. He did not respond to what he was doing at the location, except stating that he was there for work.

Munawar joked that he had come to meet a friend and then, he finally revealed he was at the venue for work. “Channel pe dekh lena,” he said before leaving for home.

On seeing the paparazzi, this actor-singer-comedian had a funny reaction. “Main bhul gaya tha ki main celebrity hoon,” Munawar said.

He was also making fun of his situation – since Munawar stayed away from the limelight ever since he won Lock Upp. He was supposed to be a part of Khatron Ke Khiladi 12 but due to reasons he did not wish to reveal, Munawar could not participate on the Rohit Shetty-hosted show.

However, it does look like Munawar is indeed a part of Bigg Boss 16. Whether he is a contestant or wild card, remains to be seen.

Recent reports suggested that Bigg Boss 16 makers were not too keen on bringing Munawar on board because of his controversy. There was no confirmation or denial about the news since.

Munawar Ki Janta, however, were extremely upset to hear the news and hoped that he just wouldn’t participate if he were going to be wild card. Nonetheless, if Munawar has shot for a promo of the show, the chances of him being a contestant right from the start are higher than ever.

Bigg Boss 16 will premiere on October 1. The show has been claiming that Bigg Boss himself will participate this time around. Further details on that and Munawar’s entry are awaited.
