Post his impressive winning streak, the entertainer has taken a thoughtful approach to his career, choosing quality over quantity and prioritising meaningful projects that resonate with his values and aspirations.
During a recent media interaction, Munawar was asked whether he would ever consider stepping into Salman Khan’s shoes and hosting Bigg Boss himself. Without hesitation, he offered an honest and heartfelt response.
“I will never host Bigg Boss,” Munawar admitted. “To be very honest, the way Salman Khan hosts the show — especially his presence and the way he handles Weekend Ka Vaar — it’s something no one else can replicate. It’s a fact. No one can host the show the way he does.”
His statement resonated with fans, many of whom wholeheartedly agree that Salman Khan’s charisma, commanding presence, and emotional connect with both contestants and viewers make him the ultimate face of Bigg Boss.
While Munawar may have no plans to host the reality juggernaut, his admiration for Salman’s legacy as host is evident — and serves as yet another example of the humility and respect that define his personality.
For now, Munawar Faruqui continues to explore new creative avenues, all while staying grounded and grateful for the journey that brought him here.
