Bigg Boss 17: Munawar Faruqui is one of the most popular contestants in the Salman Khan-hosted reality show 'Bigg Boss 17'. The comedian has gained a huge fan following and is currently one of the strongest contenders. He has been hitting the headlines after his ex-girlfriend Ayesha Khan entered the house, which has created a lot of stir. For the unversed, Ayesha hinted that Munawar proposed to her for marriage before entering the show. She also accused Munawar of two-timing while dating her.

After Ayesha made some serious allegations against Munawar, fans came out in support and started trending 'Stop Defaming Munawar' on social media. Netizens expressed their anger and disappointment in the makers of 'Bigg Boss 17' for bringing the personal of Munawar in front of the public.

In the promo, Ayesha said, "You all know me as Ayesha Khan. There is a contestant in the show Munawar Faruqui. I have a history with him. I just want you all to know that what he is showing, he is nothing like that. I don’t know, on the show he is saying that he is committed but before entering the show he had told me, ‘I love you, I want to get married to you.’ This has been his way of approaching every girl. I want an apology from him, that is one of the main reasons why I am going to the show."

Earlier, 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' runner-up Abhishek Malhan supported Munawar and slammed the makers for bringing up the comedian's personal life on television. He wrote, "The worst you could do to bring someone down is target their personal life. It’s entertainment according to the makers. The worst they could have done. All you need to be in the show is expose your partner/x-partner and shit on them. Lol."
