Comedian Munawar Faruqui Says ‘This Is The End’ After His Charity Show For Late Puneeth Rajkumar’s Foundation In Bengaluru Gets Cancelled Under Threats (View Statement)
In the beginning of this year, while performing at a stand-up show in Indore, Munawar Faruqui was accused of making 'malicious jokes' and was later put behind the bars by Madhya Pradesh Police. In the statement, Munawar has mentioned about the unfair treatment he has been receiving since then.
Munawar Faruqui was all set to perform his show in Bengaluru on November 28. It was a charity show for late Kannada actor Puneeth Rajkumar’s foundation. However, the stand-up comedian has revealed in a series of posts that the show had to be called off owing to the threat to the venue and the audience. The city police asked the Good Shepherd auditorium (where the show was supposed to be held) to tell the organisers to cancel the show. Munawar has shared that more than 600 tickets were sold for today’s show. Not just that, the comedian concludes his note saying, “I think this is The End. My name is Munawar Faruqui. And That's been my time, you guys were wonderful audience. A Good bye! Im done”.
