From its very inception, this new season of Bigg Boss OTT has been overdramatic, and the recent incident between rapper Naezy and comedian Munawar Faruqui added fuel to it. During finale week, Munawar—known for his sharp wit and no-holds-barred humor— took a dig at Naezy’s family financial status, which didn’t go down well with the rapper.
The Incident: Bigg Boss OTT3
As part of finale week, Munawar Faruqui was called along with another comedian, Aditi Mittal, to roast the contestants. Though it was all in good fun as far as roasting is concerned, Munawar’s joke on Naezy’s financial situation touched a raw nerve. He cracked a joke that there is a dearth of rations in Naezy’s house and that Bigg Boss has deliberately made a reduction in food supply so that Naezy feels at home.
Naezy Reaction On Munawar Faruqui Roast
Although Naezy did not react at the roast, he later told fellow contestant Sana Makbul that he was very uncomfortable. He said the joke on Munawar related to his family’s financial condition crossed all bounds; it was a jab below the belt. There were things, Naezy explained, that should not be brought up, especially about personal hardships, even in a roast.
The incident has kicked off a debate amongst fans and viewers on where humor ends and the ethics of roasting begin. Another section of people feel that though roasts are supposed to be edgy and incendiary, there comes a time when comedians must draw a line. Munawar, known for his fearless comedy, is yet to respond to the backlash.
Conclusion
As Bigg Boss OTT 3 inches closer to its grand finale, this tiff between Naezy and Munawar Faruqui serves as a pointer to the line that demarcates humor from insensitivity. Whether this incident will change dynamics in the house, and if yes, then how, only the upcoming episodes can answer.
