You read that right! Comedian-turned-reality TV star Munawar Faruqui, who’s been riding high after winning Bigg Boss 17, just dropped a bombshell that has left fans stunned.
In a recent interview, the witty and sharp-tongued entertainer revealed that he was offered roles in two big Bollywood films, Katrina Kaif’s horror-comedy Bhoot Police and Alia Bhatt’s dark drama Darlings, and he turned them both down. With his trademark humor, he shrugged it off, saying, “Accha hua nahi kiya bhai,” leaving fans wondering what could’ve been.In the conversation, Munawar shared that he was given the first drafts of the scripts and had a chance to be part of both high-profile projects.
While he didn’t dive into the exact reasons for rejecting them, it’s clear he made the decision with confidence and clarity. For someone who once stood on small comedy stages in front of local crowds and later battled legal controversies, this revelation shows just how far he’s come—and how strategically he’s playing the game now.
Both Bhoot Police and Darlings went on to become talked-about films, starring Bollywood heavyweights. Bhoot Police featured an ensemble cast including Saif Ali Khan and Arjun Kapoor, and Darlings was Alia Bhatt’s bold production debut on Netflix, exploring domestic violence through a twisted narrative.
Had Munawar said yes, we might have seen him in a drastically different avatar—perhaps even a pivotal character in either film.But true to his grounded personality, Munawar didn’t express regret. Instead, he laughed about it and took the missed opportunity in stride. It’s the kind of humility and self-awareness that fans love about him. And while some may think he let go of golden chances, others are praising his commitment to authenticity and timing.
After all, in an industry where saying “yes” too soon can backfire, maybe saying “no” was his smartest move yet.One thing’s for sure—Munawar isn’t here to take every offer that lands on his table. He’s here to create impact, on his own terms. And if these are the kinds of offers he’s turning down… we can’t wait to see what he says yes to next!
