So honestly I had seen munawar in a previous bb type show called lock up where he was excellent in and won. He was very intelligent and played many mind games and was a mastermind that season so when i heard he was coming to bb i automatically jumped to support him.
But truth be told he disappointed on the show for me cuz i enjoy contestants being strategical and excelling in tasks which he did in lock up but couldn’t really replicate in bb as the makers were more interested in him showing his emotional side than his strategic side.
On top of that to generate more drama from him they brought in his ex with who he was 2 timing with while having another gf to humiliate him and show his struggle on the show cuz till then he was coasting to an easy victory while being boring toh after he ex came he became a massive crybaby and all
By the end i just forced myself to keep supporting him cuz i had already invested a lot in supporting from the start so was like might as well finish it with him as season was ending plus i did find him better than rest who i found way more annoying or problematic (abhishek)
And he came in with a huge kattar fanbase esp from dongri some of which he had from his stand up days and some from lockup so his winning was known since the start
Honestly, I didn’t know anything about Munawar before this.So I asked you about him, and you were gracious enough to explain everything so clearly.Thank you for this reply ❤️
From what you described, it actually makes sense why his BB journey felt underwhelming to you compared to Lock Up. It sounds like he entered with a completely different image - someone sharp, strategic, and a proper mastermind but Bigg Boss never really allowed that side of him to flourish.
The emotional angle, the ex–entry drama, and all that manipulation from the makers probably overshadowed the strategic potential he had. And I get what you mean about sticking with him till the end just because you had invested in supporting him from the start - that happens to a lot of us with contestants.
But the huge fanbase you mentioned definitely explains why his win seemed inevitable regardless of how the season actually played out.
Thanks for breaking it down so neatly it actually helped me understand his whole BB graph.I didn’t know anything about Munawar before all this. I had only seen people talk about him here and there, but I never actually followed Lock Up or his stand-up journey..
Waise Do you feel the makers intentionally softened his image for sympathy and drama for "ITV audience" , or was he simply not prepared for the BB format compared to Lock Up?
