These days, he has been grabbing the headlines for his participation in Bigg Boss, but he later clarified that he wasn’t a part of the show.
Recently in an interview, Munawar was asked about his biggest struggles, to which the actor said, “To be honest life has not been that much of a struggle. There have been comfortable days too. But I realised that the main struggle was when my dad was hit with a paralytic attack and was bedridden. That’s when I knew that I had to work hard and bring the money home.”
He further said, “Until then, we knew that during EID we would get new clothes and all, but when this incident struck it was tough. But the toughest part of my life has to be the time when I wasn’t allowed to perform, and my shows were cancelled; that hit me hard.”
Munawar also said that, “Just imagine the only thing you love to do, and someone comes and stops you from doing it. Where would someone go? Even though I had gotten punished, I was still banned, and that phase was really tough to battle. Then Lock Upp happened and I became the winner of the show. I spoke and apologised and showed myself to the public, and that changed everything for me.”
Well, today Munawar has become a big name in the industry and he has come up with a lot of hard work and dedication.
