As stand-up comedian Munawar Farooqi was announced to take part in the lock-up, it became the food for memes. Hosted by ALTBalaji and MX Player reality show actress Kangana Ranaut, she is at the forefront of political ideology. In fact, he often criticizes her on Twitter.
Comedian Kunal Kamra tweeted, “Munawar and Kangana are on the same show. Devotees are confused as to whether or not to strike. Twitter users filled a domain day and micro-blogging site with memes. “Divided by ideology, united by money,” one wrote. Many have also shared funny posts.
Munawar, in an interview with The Indian Express, was asked if the difference between the different ideologies between him and Kangana would lead to a confrontation in the lock-up. “If anyone believes in ideology, they will believe that we live in a democracy. We all have freedom of speech and it violates our beliefs. If one thinks that their opinions should be listened to and respected, they should do the same. It will be a give and take situation, ”he said.
On Tuesday, the advertisement for Lock Up introduced Munawar as the second confirmed contestant after TV actor Nisha Rawal. “Although it will be a difficult and challenging journey for me, I am glad that this show gives me the opportunity to be myself in a real setting,” he said in a statement.
