Munawar Faruqui calls Mallika Sherawat’s jail jibe at Rhea Chakraborty uncalled for
The Story in Brief
Comedian Munawar Faruqui has criticised Mallika Sherawat for bringing up Rhea Chakraborty's jail time during an argument on the reality show The Traitors 2, calling it 'completely uncalled for'. Speaking to India Today after being voted out, Munawar said he had made no personal remark about Mallika and that she had taken his comments out of context.
The argument erupted after Munawar's exit. Munawar said Rhea faced the brunt while defending him. When Rhea tried to clarify, Mallika mentioned Rhea's past imprisonment. Munawar said the remark showed what Mallika 'had in her heart' for Rhea. He also criticised fellow contestant Abhishek Malhan for wanting him out, calling it 'loser behaviour'.
Munawar entered the Karan Johar-hosted show as a winner of Lock Upp and Bigg Boss 17 but was the first to be voted out from the 'Circle of Shaq'. The next episodes stream on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday.
Indian Opinion Analysis
India Today's coverage is a straight interview transcript with Munawar Faruqui, giving him an uncritical platform to air his grievances against Mallika Sherawat and Abhishek Malhan. The framing is entirely from the contestant's perspective, with no attempt to verify the claims or include Mallika's response. A careful reader should note that the story presents only one side of a reality-show spat, which is entertainment news with low stakes. The key development to watch is whether Mallika or the show's producers respond, or whether the controversy drives viewership for the upcoming episodes on Amazon Prime Video.
