Since his back-to-back victories, the multi-talented star has taken a measured approach to his career, focusing on meaningful projects and personal growth rather than chasing the spotlight.
In a recent interaction with the media, Munawar opened up about the key lessons he’s picked up from two of Bollywood’s most influential stars — Kangana Ranaut and Salman Khan.
“I’ve only absorbed the good from both Kangana and Salman. One should never follow or adopt anything that feels morally wrong. It's important to make wise choices,” Munawar shared candidly. “When someone offers advice, it often comes from their personal journey and experience — and that should be respected.”
Speaking fondly of Kangana, he recalled, “One thing that truly stood out was her professionalism. She was always punctual on set. That left a lasting impression on me — the importance of respecting time and being committed to your work.”
On a lighter note, he quipped, “From Salman Bhai, I’ve learnt how to arrive fashionably late! Jokes aside, what I genuinely admire is his kindness and the way he helps people — that’s something I’ve taken to heart.”
It’s no secret that both Kangana and Salman appreciated Munawar’s gameplay and authenticity during their respective hosting stints. Many fans believe their encouragement and support played a significant role in shaping his journey on both shows.
As Munawar continues to evolve, both personally and professionally, it’s evident that the guidance of these industry stalwarts has left a profound impact shaping him not only as an entertainer, but as an individual.
