Munawar Faruqui Slams Insensitive Trolls
Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui, who shared the screen with Dobhal during their reality show stint, was among the first to react to the news. Taking to social media, Faruqui expressed his shock and lashed out at those making light of the tragedy or calling it a "stunt."
"Please listen to him. When someone is trying to share something, we don't pay attention, but when the person is gone, we feel sad about it." Faruqui stated. "Suicide is not the answer. If you have any problem in life, never take this step. Just because an influencer is doing it, don't follow them. Take care of yourselves. Don't waste your life."

"When Anurag shared his family problems with his fans, everyone started trolling him. He later tried to commit suicide, and I hope he is fine now. But, this is sad, Shame on everyone making fun of him, " Goni shared.
