Since his remarkable winning streak, Munawar has adopted a measured approach to his career, opting for projects that hold meaning and align with his personal values rather than simply chasing quantity.
In a recent interview, the entertainer addressed one of the most frequently asked questions about reality TV whether Bigg Boss is scripted.
Offering an honest response, Munawar said, “To be frank, even I assumed the show was scripted before I entered. But once inside, I realised nothing was pre-planned. They conduct detailed interviews beforehand, asking about your temper, hunger, and personal preferences. For instance, if you say you love coffee, they deliberately withhold it, creating situations where you have to fight for it. That’s how the drama unfolds—but it’s far from scripted.”
His candid revelation has settled the curiosity of many fans who have long speculated about the authenticity of the show.
Munawar’s strategic yet heartfelt gameplay not only earned him immense love but also ensured his victory proving why he remains one of the most admired reality show winners to date.
