Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui shares ‘tired’ selfie after being detained for smoking hookah

Stand up comic Munawar Faruqui may not be controversy’s favourite child, but he is definitely in the top 10. Apart from his comic timing, shayari and relatable personality, this is one reason why he often makes headlines. His infamous affairs, which came into the spotlight during Bigg Boss 17, are one big example. Well, ever since he came out of the reality show, Munawar has been focusing on his music career. However, the king of Dongri has now found himself embroiled in yet another controversy. Last night, Munawar was detained briefly in Mumbai.

Munawar, along with 13 others, was detained at a hookah parlour last night, in Mumbai's Fort area. This raid took place after a tip-off was received by the police about individuals consuming tobacco-based hookahs in the disguise of herbal hookahs. A senior official told PTI, “The police found stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui and others smoking hookahs at the joint. We also have a video of their act. We detained them, but they were later allowed to go as the sections slapped against them were bailable.” Soon after being released, Munawar shared a selfie.
