Munawar emerged as one of the most formidable contestants within the Bigg Boss 17 household. His presence captivated viewers from the moment he joined the show, largely due to his captivating shayaris. However, his popularity dwindled somewhat later on when his strategies faltered after the arrival of his ex-partner, Ayesha Khan, in the house.
Ayesha leveled multiple accusations against him during the show, accusing him of infidelity, making purportedly false commitments, and even alleging that he proposed marriage to another woman. She also referenced Munawar’s former girlfriend, Nazila, on the show. Despite these challenges, Munawar remained resilient and secured victory in the competition with overwhelming support from the audience.
