MUMBAI: They say one of life’s greatest joys is meeting your heroes — an experience Munawar Faruqui recently lived at a film premiere when he came face-to-face with acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj. But what truly made the evening special was that the admiration turned out to be mutual.
A visibly moved Munawar, while getting papped, shared, "Vishal sir mujhe jaante hain, main sunnke hi bohot khush hoon." To which Bhardwaj, with his trademark grace, replied, "Hum fan hain tumhaare." The heartfelt exchange didn’t just stay within the walls of the premiere. Munawar, brimming with joy, took to social media to share the special moment with his fans.
For Munawar, whose artistry spans acting, music, stand-up, and storytelling, the moment spoke volumes about the fact that his work resonates beyond his own audience. And while the encounter made headlines for its warmth, one can’t help but wonder how exciting it would be to see Munawar collaborate with Vishal Bhardwaj someday. Currently, Munawar is shooting for Pati, Patni aur Panga, while his upcoming slate includes First Copy 2, Angadia, and a few tightly guarded ventures that have fans waiting with bated breath.
