New Delhi: As the makers of Ekta Kapoor’s upcoming reality show ‘Lock Upp’, starring fierce actor Kangana Ranaut as the host, announced comedian Munawar Faruqui to be one of the contenders on the show, Netizens found the news hard to digest.
Both Ranaut and Faruqui are at the far opposite ends in terms of social-political ideologies, and not just that, Faruqui has often been critical of her as well as slammed her in his various comic acts.
When asked about his collaboration with his ideological rival for the show, Faruqui told news daily Bollywood Life, “Too soon to judge!!! Ek post dekh ke mujhe gaali de rahe ho bhai? Chalo koi baat nahi internet pe yeh aasan he. Haters ko face karke saamne khade rehne ka gudda ‘IMAAN’ ke mazboot hone se hi aata he. Aapka certificate nahi chahiye. Janta decides karegi. By the way 27th Feb”.
Here’s what Netizens has to say in the matter:
Comedian Kunal Kamra tweeted, “Munawar & Kangana both on the same show, bhakts confused on if they’ve to boycott or not”.
