Famous comedian Munawar Faruqui decided to quit comedy and bid his goodbye.
In an Instagram post, on the 28th of November, Mr. Munawar Faruqui wrote, “Nafrat jeet Gayi, artist har Gya (Hate won, artist lost) I’m done. Goodbye. Injustice.”
His decision to quit comedy was due to the recent allegations and hate comments against him. In addition, his 12 shows got canceled in the past 2 months, including the latest in Bengaluru. The City Police asked the organisers to cancel his show, scheduled on the 28th of November, Sunday, due to law and order issues. The constant cancellation of his shows have made him take the big step and announce to quit the profession of stand up comedy.
Munawar Faruqui said, “Aaj Bangalore show cancel ho gaya (under the threats of venue vandalism). We sold 600+ tickets. Month back my team called late Puneeth Rajkumar sir, an organisation for charity which we will be going to generate from this show in Bangalore. We agreed to not sell the show on the name of charity as suggested by the noble organisation.” He also said, ‘Putting me in jail for the joke I never did to cancelling my shows, which has nothing problematic in it. This is unfair. This show has gained so much love from people in India irrespective of their religion. This is unfair. We do have a censor certificate of the show and it’s clearly nothing problematic in the show. We called off 12 shows in the last two months because of threats to the venue and audience,” He ended his Instagram post with a goodbye to his fans. He said, “think this is the end. My name is Munawar Faruqui and that’s been my time. You guys were a wonderful audience. Goodbye, I’m done.”
Earlier in 2021, Faruqui spent a month in jail, for hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus, insulting God and goddesses, in one of his shows.
