Bigg Boss 17: Ayesha Khan and Munawar Faruqui Latest Updates and Controversies

The seventeenth season of India’s popular reality show Bigg Boss has been full of drama and controversies ever since it aired on television in October 2022.

Two contestants who have been making constant headlines are stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui and social media influencer Ayesha Khan.

Let’s take a look at some of the major developments surrounding them in Bigg Boss 17.

Nature of Munawar and Ayesha’s Relationship Under Scanner

Ever since Ayesha entered the Bigg Boss house as a wildcard contestant, viewers have been curious about the real nature of her bonding with Munawar. The two have openly expressed affection for each other but many fellow contestants and show host Salman Khan have questioned their intentions.

In a dramatic Weekend Ka Vaar episode, an angry Salman slammed them for peddling a fake love angle to stay in the limelight. He accused Ayesha of using Munawar while the latter defended their bonding. Their antics have divided viewers – some find it entertaining while others call it a scripted drama.

Rifts Created Within the House

Munawar and Ayesha’s closeness has also created rifts within the Bigg Boss house. It has upset Munawar’s friend Anjali Arora while contestant Mannara Chopra has confronted him over shifting his attention from friends to Ayesha. Many housemates have openly voiced their mistrust about Ayesha’s motivations.

During a courtroom task, Ayesha stunned everyone by exposing personal details about Munawar. Her revelations about his relationship patterns and parenting have irked housemates and viewers alike.

Ayesha’s Deteriorating Health

Ayesha’s suffocating bond with Munawar and ensuing backlash seem to be affecting her health and morale within the house. In a worrying development, she recently fainted and had to be rushed to a hospital.

Though she returned to the house after treatment, fans have slammed the makers for allowing her health to deteriorate for the sake of TRPs. Many have also called out the toxic environment building up against Ayesha and want her to exit the show for her well-being.

Munawar’s Popularity Intact Among Fans

Despite the controversies, Munawar Faruqui continues to enjoy immense popularity and support among BB fans. While they have criticised his equation with Ayesha, his witty one-liners and gravitas still make him a strong contender to win this season.

The makers seem to be invested in whitewashing his image after he faced boycott calls for his allegedly offensive comedy routines. Munawar himself has expressed a desire to move on from this chapter with Ayesha and start anew. But with the finale months away, more fireworks can certainly be expected from this controversial contestant.
